2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Evolution

NAME: 2012-13 Mitsubishi i-MiEV Evolution Hillclimb

If you’ve ever seen the i-MiEV, you know that it isn’t one of the most well-received EVs out there. Some even call it one of the worst electric cars to exist. But despite the criticism its city counterpart got, Mitsubishi didn’t give up on the project, and to try to promote it further they Started the MiEV Evo project.

Throughout 2013 up until 2015 they turned a few cars into Pikes Peak vehicles, and they all look really silly. 3 generations exist but I’ll be suggesting the first gen which looks closest to its street legal counterpart. Also fun fact, Wikipedia classifies this thing as a hypercar, so i will too cause y not
