The Tommi Mäkinen Edition is the final, most focused version of the boxy Evo VI — a 2.0-litre 4G63 turbo four with full-time all-wheel drive, built to honour Mäkinen's four consecutive WRC drivers' titles (1996–1999). Its titanium-turbine turbo, quicker steering rack, lowered tarmac-tuned suspension and 4,092-unit run make it the collector benchmark for the JDM Evo dynasty.
The one to have: Genuine TME · Passion Red · unmodified · documented import
Benchmarks: Standard Evo VI $22–49k · TME $40–60k · collector-grade $130k+ · Trend: firming as US supply opens
Know the real one
Genuine TME = chassis serial in the CP9A-020xxxx block (~3,400–4,100 built all markets) — decode the serial against GTR-Registry before believing any badge
TME hardware: titanium-turbine turbo, white 17-inch Enkeis, red Brembos, Mäkinen-embossed Recaros, fog-delete bumper
Common fake: standard GSR wearing TME bumper, decals and seats
All TMEs are now past the 25-year rule — the US import wave is just beginning
