Why I Want This In GT: In my opinion, Gran Turismo does not have enough WRC cars, and this car is a great rally car to be added into the game.

From Wikipedia: The Lancer WRC05 saw no significant changes, but the car's width was increased by 30 mm (1.2 in) due to a change in the WRC regulations. The engine remained the same, but the ECU and the turbo wastegate were updated. Aerodynamic alterations to the bodywork were introduced to improve stability and to accommodate the new, wider track, while suspension links and driveshafts were lengthened. Steering-mounted gearshift paddles were also introduced, and longer ratios were adopted for first, third and fourth gears. The car showed great promise, since Panizzi took 3rd place in Monte Carlo, and ex-Peugeot man Rovanpera was fast on gravel events, eventually clinching a 2nd place at the last round in Australia, but soon after that Mitsubishi pulled out of the WRC, and only returned through Ralliart UK, who took over the cars and supported private and semi-works entries in 2006 and 2007. At the Swedish WRC-event in 2006, local rallydriver Daniel Carlsson made podium with a 3rd place in the Värmland forests, in such an entry. Daniel battled for seconds, just into finish line, with team mate Gigi Galli, who settled for fourth spot.

GT6 has the '03 one. Would be nice if it was premium though.

It's probably not going to be premium, since the Evo Super Rally Car doesn't exist. :D its a "PD original."

Well technically speaking wise it's the same thing as the 05.

Considering Lancer Evolution Super Rally Car first appeared in GT4, which was released in 2004, this car is based on Lancer WRC04. I hope it will be replaced with either Lancer WRC04 or WRC05.

Well, the Lancer Super Rally Car is inspired on Lancer WRC04. But as Mitsubishi wasn't competing on 2003 WRC season, then PD decided to make an fictional rally car for Lancer.

Ah Okay. Thanks for clearing up.
 
The reason for PD dressing up an Evo 4/5/6 bodyshell to look like the WRC04 was licensing. The WRC had gone exclusive like F1 by then.
