Mitsubishi Evolution X FQ400 gets the green light

It was only a matter of time before Mitsubishi's British engineers tired of relentlessly beating the FQ300 and FQ360 versions of their homegrown Evos. So it's no surprise that after a 400-hp version of the Evo X successfully campaigned in the Britcar Championship, Mitsubishi finally gave the go-ahead to its crack team of in-house tweakers to produce a road going version for public consumption. The FQ400 is on its way.

If the Mitsu team holds true to the original ADR Motorsport-developed Evo, expect a new turbocharger, exhaust manifold and fuel system, along with a reworked ECU to make use of the extra boost and petrol. Naturally, output will be related to the FQ400's name, with 400hp being delivered to all four wheels through a manual gearbox. A top speed of 170 mph and a 0-60 time of around 3.5 seconds shouldn't be too hard to achieve, and with a reworked suspension, upgraded brakes and some aerodynamic enhancements, Lambo owners should think twice before cutting the FQ400 off at their first track day at Silverstone. Pricing hasn't been released yet, but expect the Mitsubishi Evolution X FQ400 to crest the £45,000 mark when it goes on sale next year in the UK.

 

Damn UK gets everything!!!

 

There's already a thread covering this:

It's from a month ago.

 

Would you really pay 90k dollars converted for a souped up evo? You can accomplish everything the fqs do for a fraction of the cost.

 

Two points here: First, the prices in England converted directly to dollars is greater than what the same vehicle costs here. So the actual cost would be <$90K, maybe 1/3 less, but I am guessing here.
Second, what some have been looking for is to have their car performing at a higher level (usually HP) and still retain the factory warranty. The FQ series has more engine output (and other things) and retains full factory warranty.
So even if it (FQ series)were available here, it would cost you a lot less to buy an non FQ (GSR, and MR) and put mod's on yourself/tuner and obtain the same performance (and higher if so wished) but by so doing you can kiss your warranty goodbye.

^ Great point, sorry about the repost I dont read much on the X's

 

evo's come with a warranty now...



I just don't see the market for it here in the states. I already drive a 400hp X and I don't think I would ever consider paying even 50K for a 400hp factory tuned X. I'm sure there are some that would but I just don't see it being viable in the current market.

 

I agree. With dealers having to slash prices and offer 0% financing to sell $30-40K Evos, I don't see a big market for $50K+ Evos.

 

I wish I was paid in British Lbs...

 

No Al-Evo's dont come with warranties-Mitsu just uses that in the ad to get younger buyers in
Agree on the market-for $50k new, there are a lot of cars that would be as much or more fun then an X-and a lot less black plastic and staples in the neck!

 

At the price of the FQ-400...might as well buy the GTR instead.

 

Before you go down that road, please read my post:
