Evo Drive Test In Thailand

Hi I am Dimantha from Sri Lanka, ( www.body-kit.com)

My freind Dinesh Deheragoda just Tested the Evo VIII in Thailand. There were 4 Evo VIII in Thailand done up by Ralli Art


Specs - 285 BHP Asian version
271 - 273 US Version

They have driven the Left Hand Drive Version.

There comments : Better Handling than the Evo VII and More Powerful as well as TOP Speed is very HIGH. The Speedometer Shows 260 kmph 160 MPH /

I got the comments through Short Message Service. It said he touched 286 kmph. Now I am nost sure if he was joking or not because we they know that we are so jealous not been able to drive the Evo VIII. Only 28 were allowed.

They had 35 Laps.


Now if it is 286 for sure I will definetely Buy that Car.

I & Dinesh will be updating pictures eighton www.dinesh-d.com or www.body-kit.com. Ths pics will be updated on next week tuesday because dinesh is returning only on monday to Sri Lanka.
He has load of pictures.




Pls write comments to dinesh@dialogsl.net or dimantha@body-kit.com.

The top speed thing sounds very possible.

Since those webpages with japanese specs listed the difference in fuel economy for the Evo VIII as being only 1 mpg better with the 6-speed, I'd assume they just made another strong gear at the end for a high top speed.

Why would you say that, when in a week you can look at the pictures they took? Won't you look like a fool.
