Very cool. Thanks for posting. Killing off the Evo should be a crime. Upper management, for there decision, should be imprisoned. Hard labor. No parole.

The investment and evolution of this car should not be abandoned. This was a great option for Mitsubishi. Offering a least one sports car which could compete on a level with other manufacturers. They were way ahead of the game in terms of turbocharging when others were sucking there thumbs and thinking about it. A complete fail for them to come all this way and destroy a car that could of been much more.

 

Take a close look at the test screen@4:05, you can see the RPM @6087 and the number next to it says 321.9, could be hp and a clue to what these motors actually put out. The only problem with my genius sleuthing is that they probably would be showing kW's in Japan, not hp.

 

I saw the Recaro... but also saw the RHD. :-(

 

In Japan they use ps which is metric hp. 321.9ps=317.5hp.

 

ps = pony speed?

 

The Pferdestärke PS (German translation of horsepower) is a name for a group of similar power measurements used in Germany around the end of the 19th century, all of about one metric horsepower in size.
