That pics is a EVO VIII, look at the bumper and also the badges. Also EVO are no longer called MR except in the USDM and UKDM no longer has the FQ designation any longer either. All other markets have the MR stuff on the cars already(GSR,GT,RS)

I don't know if they're doing another Evo this series, but Top Gear isn't going to get cancelled.

Offtopic: The new season of 5th Gear (not top gear) is out. You can find the torrent on mininova.org if your interested. I'm sure this is old news, but it's new to me.

450hp is overkill to me, the only way that car can be balanced with 450 hp is if they throw a stroker kit in it which i doubt they did, it most likely performs more like a drag car which stinks imo, this car wasnt meant for that

it is just a regular fq-400 with aftermarket parts. READ.

In that case I have an FQ450 already.

Im kinda lost here and maybe someone can help me. Im noticing that the evo is brand new because of the plastic protectors but then it's also on a dyno. I thought that we had a very strict break in period?
