Mitsubishi X FQ-400 Lancer Evolution Released
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
It has been touted as the fastest Lancer Evolution ever released and it looks like based on the car specs, the new Mitsubishi X FQ-400 Lancer Evolution should indeed live up to its billing.
Armed with a 2.0 litre turbo charged MIVEC (“Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control”) petrol engine, the new Lancer Evolution promises to deliver 403bhp and 387lb.ft of torque and will help the car to reach a 0-62mph of 3.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155mph.
Now that is speed for you. The Lancer Evolution series is perhaps one of the marquee lines that has kept Mitsubishi in circulation and hopefully this new vehicle can place some semblance that the Japan-based manufacturer is still around the car industry picture.
Mitsubishi has been sorely losing from its adversaries like Toyota and Honda and is now obviously overtaken by Hyundai and Nissan. While it has been a familiar icon in the car industry, its line of cars have been least interesting in the market due to issues surrounding maintenance and of course the price tag.
But now, the Mitsubishi X FQ-400 should set some records straight. The new Lancer Evolution X FQ-400 has been given a hefty price tag of £49,999 and will be available this June. It is interesting to see if this car can really jack it up once again!
