evo
Sporty Lancer variant
Evo is informal shorthand for evolution, used especially in contexts where the full word would feel cumbersome: evo-devo (evolutionary developmental biology), evo psych (evolutionary psychology).
In car culture, Evo refers to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, a high-performance sedan with rally racing heritage: He's restoring an Evo VIII.
