Re: Mitsubishi Brings 329hp FQ-330 Lancer Evo X to the U.K.
If you are gonna go this far, why not go a little further for the ultimate euro only Evo, the FX-400 . . .
Autocar snagged a handful of pics and some initial specs of the UK-only Mitsubishi Evolution X FX-400, and as suspected, the hotter Evo is a road-going version of the ADR Motorsport-prepared sedan that successfully campaigned this past September in the 24-Hour Britcar Championship.
The turbocharged 2.0-liter 4B11 will put out approximately 405 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to a new turbo, retuned ECU and center-exit exhaust. As opposed to the outgoing FQ400, the Evo X-based model won't use a race clutch, so puttering around town should be bit more bearable, and due to the FQ400's prodigious output, the twin-clutch SST gearbox – which can't handle more than 331 lb.-ft. of torque – won't be used. Despite this, expect the FQ400 to lay down 0-60 times of around 3.5 seconds, 0.6 seconds faster than the Evo X FQ360.
In addition to six-pot calipers, upgraded brakes and 18-inch wheels, the FQ400 will feature a new aero kit that includes additional cooling intakes, vents, a larger air intake in the hood and ducts cut into the side skirts to aid rear brake cooling. Production will be limited to 100 units, unless demand calls for more, but considering the price – between £45,000 and £50,000, or £14,500 more than the FQ-360 – 100 examples should just about do it.

FX or FQ?
Just wondering.
I remember the test on top gear of the evo 9 fq400. They put it up against a lambo murc. and it won. Supposedly 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and around 400hp as well.

The lag is horrendous in that video.
Thats what keeps me in a 3s,
Unlike all the other turbo cars these 3s's with tdo4's have no appreciable lag. Put your foot down and it goes. Now that I have to put the tdo5 setup in the 93, it probably will get deligated to weekend and trips to meets. I couldn't stand to drive it everyday.

The article says its £3,000 more then the standard evo. Using the prices and conversion shown that would put the standard evo just over $51300. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's alot more then we pay for the standard evo.
They pay a huge premium on cars in the UK compared to our prices a lot of it being due to taxes.
