Here's some news from http://www.apexjapan.com/

"Well, some info on the Evolution 8 is coming to the surface.
Due for release in Q1 next year, the next Evo will be a yet another cracking drive (and hopefully ride for passengers).
The engine output will be limited to the 280ps "agreement" - BUT will be a strengthened unit ready for the post agreement power wars that are almost sure to come. So at least at launch, expect to see 280ps and 40kg/cm.
Other news will be the 6 speed box that seems destined for the GSR. For weight savings and competition use, the RS will get a super close ratio 5 speeder. Naturally ACD and AYC will both be re-tuned, and the front mask and aerodynamics will be heavily revised.
The interesting info that has come to light is that a 280ps++ model may be released as an Evolution 8.x model. Oh, and a lot of work is being done to make certain it will make the trip overseas more easily than the 7 - get ready!
Oh, and it seems that the Evolution 8 may debut at the Detroit Motor Show first, not in Japan - do I sense a renewed sense of focus on a more global product?"
