Autocar snagged a handful of pics and some initial specs of the UK-only Mitsubishi Evolution X FX-400, and as suspected, the hotter Evo is a road-going version of the ADR Motorsport-prepared sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/16/ready-to-race-mitsubishi-evolution-x-one-make-series-planned/) that successfully campaigned this past September in the 24-Hour Britcar Championship.

The turbocharged 2.0-liter 4B11 will put out approximately 405 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque thanks to a new turbo, retuned ECU and center-exit exhaust. As opposed to the outgoing FQ400, the Evo X-based model won't use a race clutch, so puttering around town should be bit more bearable, and due to the FQ400's prodigious output, the twin-clutch SST gearbox - which can't handle more than 331 lb.-ft. of torque - won't be used. Despite this, expect the FQ400 to lay down 0-60 times of around 3.5 seconds, 0.6 seconds faster than the Evo X FQ360.

In addition to six-pot calipers, upgraded brakes and 18-inch wheels, the FQ400 will feature a new aero kit that includes additional cooling intakes, vents, a larger air intake in the hood and ducts cut into the side skirts to aid rear brake cooling. Production will be limited to 100 units, unless demand calls for more, but considering the price - between £45,000 and £50,000, or £14,500 more than the FQ-360 - 100 examples should just about do it.

The center exhaust is slick
Anybody have info on this???

I wonder if it will be possibe to order the front clip. I really like it.

ugh. want.

Oh man... I thought the front looked evil on my car....


Do Want.

siiick. The front is def. awesome! It'll def. be marked up with only 100 units being sold.

Where did the figure for the handling capacity of the SST come from? Im at 370hp and more torque and no trouble with SST although Im not hard on it. GH

^Im sure these guys plan on the people buying this car to trash the hell out of it or drive it very hard. I now I would. I wonder if it will be even possible to buy this front clip. It would be nice if one of our carbon fiber guys would get one and copy it. I know I would buy it. Looks like you would need the hood as well though it has an extra bump in it.

i needa move to euro for a week and buy one

From there but I saw somewhere that you could, but it may have been a knock off.

^ knock offs are available I think.

Looks good

I think quite a few members are already making more power than that without having to upgrade the turbo or spend 15K to do it

Nice car though

that looks real good.

i cant wait to rool out the owner of one of these. : )

DAMN that is straight sex!!!!
