    probably coz it's full title is MR FQ-400, try that and you'll get loads.

    A superb car

    What's funny to me is that its putting to shame cars from Porsche and others that cost 4 times as much.
    Real cars are not FWD.
    FWD at it's best -

    Top Gear raced one against some bland estate car from 30mph in 5th gear (I think), the estate was still ahead at the end of the runway, the car has no power when it is off the turbo boost, Porsches don't have to worry about that.

    I'm quite sure the Evo isn't intended to drive at 20-40 mph in fifth gear though.

    so ? .... Porsches dont' pull from 500 revs.
    It was a silly test as you don't drive the car that way.
    If the driver WANTS to be a grannie then get a grannies car

    Anybody know when this car is going up for sale or is it already on sale? I don't know anything about it.

    It was a special anniversary model with only 100 being built.
    I'm presuming they've all gone

    SPecs and good write-up on test drive by enthusiast at http://www.lancerregister.com/art_fq400report.php and launch info at http://www.lancerregister.com/news_fq400.php
