Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400
Mitsubishi Motors UK has taken the wraps off the new Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400.

Claimed to be the fastest saloon car ever produced by a major manufacturer, and built to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Mitsubishi's entry into the UK market, the FQ-400 will be built in a limited edition run of just 100 cars, and is available to order now priced £46,999.

The new model is based on the Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-320, the engine of which has been developed to produce 405bhp and 355lb ft of torque. This is enough to propel the FQ-400 from zero to 60mph in 3.5 seconds en-route to a top speed in excess of 175mph.

The car was the brainchild of Mitsubishi Motors UK's Sales & Marketing Director, Lance Bradley. "The new Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400 is the ultimate expression of who and what we are as a brand. This is a versatile four-door saloon that can out accelerate supercars costing almost ten times as much."
