Mitsubishi released its UK-only hot version of Lancer FQ400, as 400 stands for number of horsepowers it has. Mitsu says it is softer and easier to drive than the old FQ, yeah right!
It is powered by the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine, but they’ve fiddled with the ECU and also installed a new set of exhaust system so the power goes up way over its head! it develops 405hp and 400lb ft of torque. The power is delivered by a manual transmission which unlike the old version doesn’t come with a racing clutch. nevertheless it goes from stand still to 60mph in around 3.5seconds! which is supercar territory.
The car features a new bodykit whit new vents and air intakes which gives it a more distinctive racing look than the normal ones. Lancer Evo X FQ400 is planned for 100 units and will be priced at around 50 grand.
