The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII WRC, which made its debut at the Rally di Sanremo in October 2001, represented a radical change from previous versions. The new WRC was designed according to World Rally Car regulations, which allowed much greater freedom of modification than Group A, especially in engine, transmission, and bodywork. The Evo VII was built on the larger chassis of the Lancer Cedia, a larger and more advanced car than the Lancers on which the previous Evos were based. Joan Ollé and Jordi Aragay at the controls of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII from Escudería Motor Terrassa managed to complete all 8 stages of the 2004 Ral.li Ciutat de Sabadell, although they finished in second-to-last position.
