Q: What's the difference between the RS and GSR versions?
A:

The RS version is the low spec, stripped down version ready for rally teams to convert into a proper competition car. Rally teams don't want climate control, nice seats, alloy wheels, ABS etc. as they would just have to ditch it all and replace it for high specification rally items or lose most of the equipment completely to save weight.

The GSR is the road going version and as such it's more refined. It has the same sort of features you would expect on any modern saloon car such as climate control, electric windows &
mirrors, sports seats, Alloy wheels etc.

From the Evo 6 onwards there is also an RS2 version that sits in the middle ground between the RS and GSR but is basically an RS with some added GSR
equipment

It's worth noting that the RS and RS2 are available in LHD and RHD where as the GSR is only available in RHD.

There are several 'limited edition' or special versions that were based on the RS or RS2 but have some extras added, for example the
Evo 6 Sprint, Evo 6 RSX, Evo 6 Extreme and Tommi Mäkinen Edition Monte Carlo all fall into this category.

See the Buyers Guide for more details on the models available and the differences in specifications.
