EVO VIII comes with 280hp for Europe or not ???
Sorry this post, but maybe some of you know much more than me in this subject....
In a magazine this week i read the because the ambient emissions!! , they will not released in Europe que EVO VII in 280hp version, only in a less powered version. They said they will come in a 220hp version
Other reason for this (said the president of mitsubishi in Portugal - maybe he simply want to sell the rest of the EVO VII in portugal) is that EVO is no longer a special production version of a car, it will be a normal version, so they are more restriced in emissions to the ambient, so no more 280hp will be avaluable.
I doubt because for UK they will released a 280hp and also a FQ300 (more than 300hp). Doesn´t UK have the same restrictions in emissions to the ambient as well as all the rest of the europe ???
Please, if anyone of you know something of these, please tell us, because, if i have sure that EVO VIII doesn´t came with 280hp, i will get maybe one of the last EVO VII
thanks in advance.

Hello guys 
Yes, I am in France, in the south. Not been looking here these last days, not much anyway: the Rally Monte Carlo was on!
Anyway, I heard about that lesser powered version, but I dont know if that means there wont be a more powerful one. I heard that the 2 versions may well co-exist. I'll try and find out more about this.
Last week, there were two silver and two black Evo 7 RS2 available at www.ralliart.de for 34500 EUR + VAT.
