Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-360 Sports Car

We don't normally do cars on Mobilewhack, but this new car just announced by Mitsubishi is just to cool to pass by and I must admit the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo is one my favorite cars of all time. It's famous for its powerful engine and complicated and cool body design. The new car announced is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX FQ-360 sports car which will be able to produce an incredible 366 of pure horsepower. That is 86 more hp than the old version of Lancer Evo which only attains 280 hp. I would like to know what's under the roof. The FQ-360 features a high-performance Mitsubishi 2.0-litre turbo engine and a tweak ECU. The Engine Control Unit which is located inside the car has been fully reprogrammed making it possible to deliver 366bhp at 6887rpm and 363ib ft of torque at 3200rpm. Did you know that both horsepower and torque play a role in performance?. Torque is the measurement on how much twisting force is at work in order to move all the components before moving the car. Torque for FQ-360 is 363lb ft which is 8lb ft more than the old version of FQ-400. If you bring this Lancer Evo IX for a drag race, you will certainly be the main attraction with 0-60mph in an estimated 4.1 seconds and top 160mph. It will only be available in the UK with the price of£35,504. Will it reach U.S or Europe and other Asian country?
