It seems that the UK is the only left place on earth where true petrol head still dictate Manufacturers release… Already our dear British friends had the pleasure to enjoy both the Evo FQ-300 and FQ-400, but they will now also have the possibility to choose an Dual Clutch SST Evo X boosted to 329hp… I mean come on guy this is not fair… Can you be kind enough to re-export them back to Japan ?

You can count on private tuners to remind us of just how exciting Mitsubishi’s cars can be. Especially that thing they call the Evolution. UK-based tuning blokes, MML Sports, has come out with a little something something for the 2009 World Rally Championship (WRC) season.

Essentially a Mitsubishi Evolution X RS under the sheet metal, MML’s Group N-spec Evo adds a custom made roll-cage and enlarged fuel tank. Also slapped on are some BOS dampers, upgraded springs and modified gearing for improved ride. Because WRC’s Group N rules prohibit tweaks to suspension geometry and engine, a MOTEC ECU has been employed to get every possible bit of performance out of the turbocharged 4B11 four-cylinder.
