Mitsubishi has given the go-ahead to a road-going 400 horsepower plus variant of the Lancer Evolution after a race-prepared 400 horsepower Evo competed in the Britcar Championship at Silverstone in the United Kingdom. Following up on the FQ300 and FQ360 versions of previous Lancer Evolutions, the FQ400 is set to go on sale in the U.K. next year.
We’d anticipate the FQ400 featuring a new turbocharger and exhaust manifold, as well as a revised fuel delivery system and ECU. No doubt a few additional aerodynamic add-ons, as well as a few weight-reducing measures, will help the FQ400 achieve 0-60 figures under four seconds.
The race car was prepared by ADR Motorsport, the same group that prepared the Evolutions that compete in the British Rally Championship.
Worldwide sale hasn’t been confirmed, though sale outside of the U.K. isn’t likely at first. Sources suggest that the FQ400 would retail for £45,000.
