British EVO IX FQ-430 ???

I bought a copy of the British uber-Car Mag. Top Gear - Dec. '05 issue at my local newsstand ($8.99 + tax ). There is a passing reference to an "EVO IX FQ-430", presumably with 430 hp. Does anybody know anything about this? Could it be a misprint/transposition (maybe they meant FQ-340). If you have this mag, look at pg. 198, top left hand corner pic 1 in the article about the Mitsu Colt.

Must be the upgraded FQ400, did you see the video of that one pushing the Lambo off the track?

Yeah, but those are aftermarket tuner cars. The MR FQ series is offered by British Mitsu dealers with a 3-year factory warranty. I'm trying to find out if anybody knows if there is such a thing as an IX FQ-430.
