Fastest Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution ever produced
Mitsubishi Evolution X
Mitsubishi is launching a new Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 in June 2009 which will be the fastest car they have ever produced. This will be the tenth version of the Lancer Evolution and will be the flagship model, offering peak power of 403bhp @6500 rpm and peak torque of 525Nm@ 3,500 rpm.
This extreme version of the Mitsubishi’s motorsport derived machine powers the car from 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds (est.) and has a top speed of 155mph (electronically limited), where permitted. The car has an advanced lightweight aluminium 2.0-litre turbocharged MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) petrol engine. Traction is superb with the sophisticated Super-All-Wheel Control (S-AWC) four wheel drive system giving the FQ-400 sensational cross country performance. Depending on the weather and driving conditions you can also select from three options: Tarmac, Gravel and Snow.

Lightweight 18-inch, nine spoke alloy wheels fitted with Toyo Proxes R1R tyres enhance the FQ-400′s grip, providing a sharper cornering response and precision cornering. The revised braking system system uses aerospace grade aluminium alloys and floating sealed discs grabbed by high performance pads to keep the power under control. Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach Springs offer you a sporting suspension capability but also allow the car to be driven quite comfortably around town.
Standard equipment includes Bluetooth hands free telephone connection, CD-tuner with 30 Gig hard drive, DVD satellite navigation and privacy glass.
If you are looking for a supercar but can’t afford the price of one then perhaps the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 is the one for you? The manufacturer list price is £49,999 and the car is covered by a three year 36,000 mile warranty.
