2005 Mitsubishi EVO VIII MR FQ-400, 405bhp, 0-60mph in 3.5 secs
:clap Pretty!
Just as you thought it couldn't get any quicker, the Mitsubishi Evolution VIII is now available with a 405bhp output. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mitsubishi's entry into the UK car market, the special edition Evo VIII MR FQ-400 is available now to order at a price of £46,999. Just 100 will be made. Developed from the MR FQ-320 by Mitsubishi Racing in partnership with tuners Rampage, Owen Developments and Flow Race Engines, the 2.0-litre turbocharged unit has been tweaked for 355lb ft of torque and 0-60mph acceleration in - wait for it - 3.5 seconds. Top speed is limited to 175mph. Yes, it's faster 0-60 than a BMW M3, and even a Porsche Carrera GT or Pagani Zonda.
The extensive modifications include the addition of a custom Garrett turbocharger, an Owen custom-cast stainless steel exhaust manifold, Omega forged pistons, HKS forged con rods, HKS 680cc injectors, a Zytec high-pressure fuel pump, HKS steel head gasket, Motec M800 ECU, HKS iridium spark plugs, a JanSpeed high-flow catalyst, Alcon race-spec heavy-duty clutch, HKS head and big end bolts, and Alcon brake kit with 343mm discs. Distinguishing itself from lesser Evos, the FQ-400 also gains a carbonfibre front lip spoiler, a carbonfibre 'sharks tooth' rear vortex generator (air diffuser), gloss black lightweight alloy wheels and Ralliart mirrors. Inside, it has a Momo steering wheel and Recaro bucket seats, plus a plate next to the gearstick giving the car's production number. There's also all the usual Evo kit - climate control, electric windows - to underline its reputation as a real-life practical supercar.
Mitsubishi points out that this model has undergone extensive reliability testing, and unlike 'chipped' Evos offered by independents, comes with a full three-year/36,000-mile Mitsubishi warranty.

I saw an MR Edition Evo at the local Mitsu dealership and they had a $10,000 mark up on it for a total of $47 g's. I couldn't imagine what that thing would sell for in states :eek
Mods: AEM CAI, Tanabe Super Racing Medallion cat-back, PIAA lights, DC front strut bar, AC reverse indiglo gauges, Eibach Pro-kit springs, Kuhmo Escta Supra's tires, Sony X-plod stereo, Boston Acoustics speakers & tweeters, MTX 12' sub, Alpine V12 amp.
that shit is pure money, i'd but it if i had the mula. somebody explain to me why mitsu's suck so much? i don't know why everyone hates. the evo is sooo badass imo. this mr looks more meaner than an sti also. isnt the selling price supposed to be around 27k?
