The EVO has landed...

[Mark]

No I haven't bought mine yet, however if I lived in the UK and had an exceptional amount of money, the new EVOVIII MR FQ400 would be top of my list.

0-100 in 3.5

Some quotes

"The brakes, which are to a bespoke specification, are so powerful I half expected them to trigger the airbags"

"I have it direct from Mitsubishi that 400 refers roughly to its power output and FQ to the words that come out your mouth the first time you sample it. And, yes, the Q is “quick”."

10 points to whoever works out the F in FQ first

It's also in the latest SPEED magazine I beleive.

Nice. However, I want the grunt at 1600 rpm.

imagine just knocking the boost up a bit on that sucker! Sweet Jeebus hang on!! It's fast enough already, but there will be some crazy poms cranking the boost up!

Actually,that FQ-400 is HORN....I just thought I'd give you a point of reference!

There is a bloke at work who wouldnt shut up about it. He s totally in love with it. He reckons he read an article which said that they took it for a spin on the track and it won against the Zonda. With that horrible torque curve i doubt it is worth anything on the track. Unless its got antilag its only good for drags.

Depends on your ability to keep revs up IMHO. Evo's have a relativley close ratio box, so a bit of the ol' heel/toe and even shifting into 1st if neccessary (OMG! People do that! People like me ) and you could probably do alright.

On the subject of being in love with it. I have already have two wet dreams about it. The best one involved strapping into some gravel and hitting the gravel mode button. The sheets will never be the same again.....

Against a Zonda on tarmac? No way. It just wouldnt have the response needed to corner.

Quite interesting seeing all the Evo boys creaming over the 400.

If you keep the revs up in it, its a very quick car point to point. I have seen video of it whooping a Lamborghini Murciellago around a track, and before anyone crys foul about inexperianced drivers, the Lamborghini was being driven by a professional European touring car driver.

It is a very very very quick car point to point through corners, you just need the brains and balls to know how to drive it properly

Anyone who wants to see this video can PM me, and i'll distribute a copy.

It's a ripper!
