Ok, here is the Evo 8 MR
http://www.lancer-evolution.info/history/
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
The Evolution was changed again in 2003, this time sporting Super
Active Yaw Control to handle traction and a 6-speed manual gearbox. It was available with 280 PS (276 hp/206 kW) in three trims: standard (GSR in Japan), RS (devoid of all excess components, such as interior map lights, power windows/doors, and radio)
and MR. RS Editions came with a revised limited-slip front differential. The new Evolution also sported
Altezza taillights.
The Lancer Evolution VIII MR uses slick-response Bilstein shocks for improved handling. The aluminium roof panel and other reductions in body weight have lowered the centre of gravity to realize more natural roll characteristics. Detail improvements have also been made to Mitsubishi’s own electronic all-wheel drive, to the ACD 5 + Super AYC 6 traction control and to the Sports ABS systems. The Lancer Evolution VIII displayed at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show took the MR designation traditionally reserved for Mitsubishi Motors high-performance models and used first on the Galant GTO. Other parts on the MR include BBS alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, and an aluminium roof. In the
United Kingdom, many
special Evolutions were introduced, which included FQ300, FQ320, FQ340, and FQ400 variants. They each came with 305, 320, 340, and 400 hp (227, 239, 254 and 298 kW), respectively. It is rumored that the 'FQ' stands for 'Fucking Quick'.

The FQ400, sold through Ralliart UK, produces 302.13 kW (405.2 hp), from its 2.0 L 4G63 engine as the result of
being specially modified by United Kingdom tuning firms Rampage, Owen Developments and Flow Race Engines. At 202.9 hp (151.3 kW) per litre, it has one of the
highest specific output per litre of any roadcar engine. With a curb weight of around 3200 lb (1450 kg), it achieves a 0-60 mi/h in 3.5 seconds and a 0-100 mi/h in around 9 seconds , top speed is 174 mi/h (280km/h), while costing about £47,000.
BBC's
television series
Top Gear demonstrated that the FQ-400 could surprisingly keep up with and eventually overtake a
Lamborghini Murcielago around a test track.
The Stig recorded a
Top Gear Power Lap Times of 1 minute 24.8 seconds.

evo, the Evolution was able to lap the
Bedford Autodrome faster than an
Audi RS4 and a
Porsche Carrera 4S.[
