The Evo 6.5, also known as the Evo VI TME (Tommi Mäkinen Edition), got its name from the famous rally driver Tommi Mäkinen, who was successful in the 1990s World Rally Championship (WRC) with this model. This race car was developed under the leadership of engineer Naoya Iijima and designer Akinori Nakanishi. The performance of this car is impressive - powered by a 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 280 horsepower, it provides astonishing acceleration.

The innovative Active Yaw Control (AYC), a system distributing drive torque between the rear wheels, offers exceptional traction and handling characteristics. One of the most appreciated technical finesse is its robust gearbox, featuring six gears for power transmission. The Evo VI TME also stands out for its aerodynamics and distinctive design elements like the widened fenders.

Besides Mäkinen, there were other renowned drivers like Freddy Loix who piloted this car in rally competitions. The combination of sturdy design, a reinforced body, and the potent powerplant contributed to these triumphs.
