--------------------------------

"Mitsubishi has unveiled the Evo VIII MR FQ-400. And yes, it really is what it’s name suggests - a 400bhp version of the rally-bred Lancer legend.

Based on the FQ-320, the ultimate Evo has had its 2.0-litre engine pushed farther than ever by Mitsubishi’s tuning partners. The result is a truly staggering set of statistics...


405 bhp and 355 lbf.ft
0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds
175-plus mph top speed

Thus the FQ-400 is capable of beating a Carrera GT, Pagani Zonda or Lamborghini Murcielago away from the lights. Yes, and even a Caterham Superlight R 400, too.

Improvements to the standard model’s already effective brakes mean it’ll also scrub the speed back off equally smartly.

While the Evo is heavily compromised towards performance, electric windows and mirrors remain, as does climate control. But there are some minor bodywork changes to aid aerodynamics - and add yet more visual drama.

Not that it’ll take much to make an FQ-400 stand out. There will, after all, be only 100 built - and even at a list price of £46,999, you’ll need to be quick if you want to catch one."

Wow, move over GT-R, looks like the Evo is now the ultimate Japanese driving machine. Looks like Mitsu still has some big Cahones.
