Default UK Evo IX FQ Specs

Mitsubishi has announced the UK model range for its Evo IX, which goes on sale in June.

This is the last version of the four-seat supercar in its current form. But don't fret - Mitsubishi is working on an all-new replacement for 2007.

Based on the company's latest WRC car, the Evo IX features three versions of the same 2.0-litre multi-valve turbocharged engine:

# FQ-300: 305bhp at 6,950rpm, 157mph, 0–62 in 4.7 seconds
# FQ-320: 326bhp at 6,700rpm, 157mph, 0–62 in 4.5 seconds
# FQ-340: 345bhp at 6,800rpm, 157mph, 0–62 in 4.3 seconds


The Evo IX looks similar to the car it replaces, but front and rear bumpers are updated for improved aerodynamics and a new design of alloy wheel helps reduce weight.

Standard equipment includes:

# Air-con
# Electric windows
# Front and side airbags
# Cat 1 alarm
# Bilstein suspension


In addition, the FQ-340 also features SmartNav and leather/Alcantara seats.

Prices for the Evo IX have been pegged at Evo VIII levels - maintaining the car's reputation for barely beatable performance-per-pound. Don't expect haggling to work, though…

FQ-300 - £27,999
FQ-320 - £29,999
FQ-340 - £32,999

If I have to choose between those FQ's it gotta be the FQ 300, most affordable, great power with low turbolag, and cheapest running cost...
