DeanS3 Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Mitsubishi’s new fire-breathing Evo VIII will be up to £3000 cheaper than the model it replaces this March. The latest version of the blisteringly fast saloon will start from £26,995 for the 276bhp model, £3000 less than the current entry-level Evo VII. This is still £2000 more than its 265bhp arch-rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, however. The top-of-the-range Evo VIII FQ, with more than 300bhp on tap, will cost £2500 less than the equivalent Evo VII, at £28,995. The big drop in price will have a significant impact on the deals available on current models. With a cheaper version around the corner, buyers should secure sizeable discounts from dealers on existing stocks of the Evo VII. Full performance details and specification levels will be announced closer to launch in the spring, but entry-level versions should hit 60mph in 5.3sec and have a top speed of 157mph. The Evo’s suspension has been lowered slightly to improve handling, while a six-speed manual gearbox will be used for the first time. (from Whatcar) What size engine does the EVO have? is it twin or single turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
