autoexpress - Evo Goes Out With A Bang

Here is the article by auto express:
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/ae...y.php?id=53493

They approve that evo IX will have a new back end, vortex generator and the same turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with added variable valve timing. As a result, each model will have a power increase of 20bhp over the VIII.

They also state that there will be no top-of-the-range 400bhp variant. The most powerful Evo IX will be the FQ-340. Cynics have suggested that's because 44 of the 100 limited-edition FQ-400 versions of the Evo XIII built remain unsold.

Some speculations about the Evo X – 320bhp and 431Nm.

The FQ400 costs alot. I bet that if they dropped the price it would sell out. I still wish I had one.
