Heh, yeah, I was going to complain about that Ralliart pile throwing a cel

It's probably just a mileage service light since they're putting a couple thousand miles per day on it at the track.

 

keep in mind that 45000 GBP is about 80,787 USD at the current exchange rate. That's not a little bit of coin. A lot less than the Zonda, but still quite expensive.

 

Is that the 1/4 in 9 seconds??

 

You can't just use the exhange rate as there are other factors in pricing the same car in the US. I think a better approximation would be $50,000 - $60,000 in the US (which I would not hold my breath for) based on the following:

Standard EVO (280 PS) 26,801 pounds

45,000/26,801 = 1.67

1.67 * 30,000 (US EVO GSR) = $50,371

1.67 * 35,000 (US EVO MR) - $58,450

Yes, the UK EVO has S-AYC, but then again it also has a much shorter warranty (3 years), which cuts the cost a bit.

 

stock evo viii 260 goes for 23999 GBP -> 43087USD.
basically the FQ400 is double the price of the stock evo, so I guess your estimate of about 60k would be OK.

 

All I have to say is wow. That changed my schema of a supercar entirely, better start saving money to import, hehe. I better show this to my old man, he would go nuts. He would seriously call ralliart and try to import one. If he does I'll let u guys know.

 

I used the 280 PS one (next version up) since, it sounds like the same engine as the 05 EVOs (276 SAE HP).

 

we've got wood

 

*goes off to buy the mag...

 

Me likey! I wanna move!

 

Hehe...you don't wanna move, trust me. I spent three years in England and they were very fun years....but damn is it hella expensive to live there. And exchange rate is EVERYTHING! If you are working for dollars, you're gonna get screwed. Gas is over $4 a gallon, music CD's are $22 and your cable bill will run you roughly $70 just for basic service. Driving a car is expensive there, you pay for road tax (for the Evo is about $300 a year) and the annual inspections for smog and road worthiness.

So if you like the idea of moving to England, better make sure you have a high paying job lined up that pays you in £ not $.

I know most of you are daydreaming but seriously, you can build that same car they have over there (minus the S-AYC of course) for a lot cheaper than you would pay for one new in the UK.

 

just raised my goal for my evo a little. instead of 300-325whp I want something more like 350-375whp. that is absolutely incredible. that brings a tear to my eye. it's just pure joyfull to see an evo being compared with a zonda. I just can't get over it. that's freaking cool.

hot dam! $80,000 for a fq-400!! Just slap on a Buschur stage 4 for $4000........that will get you 400hp on pump gas and put the rest of the money in the bank.

 

now that is a real supercar. that evo really offers everything. its amazing

 

SOO true,
