Does that badging come stock? From browsing the Mitsu UK or Europe site, I can't find another pic with that badging.

Yeah those badges are stock. Tony's (the dealer) evo is the first MR at a UK dealers, and as so, other pictures will be of the MR before it underwent it's FQ'ing...i.e. the Japanese/US style of badges. The badges you see are the same as the Uk evo VIII, except they are black not silver, and have MR in red after. I have some more pictures of a red one in Germany, although he has put LHD lights in (silver) because the black RHD lights cannot be used in germany...I hope he doesn't mind if he sees...if he does, I'll remove photos (this car looks great though)





and some more red MR pictures...and some interior ones (both press released so you might have seen them before)







hopefully the photos should be fixed now

We've had automatic climate control on the standard 8, and I think even the 7 had it...not sure...but definitely the 8

also notice that the UK cars come with anthracite wheels (not BBS) see the Red car with graphics up there...and compare with the press release photos which show the anthracite BBS...they are different. This is because UK mitsubishi wanted to make the MR special without making the customer buy the optional BBS wheels, as it only comes with the standard 8 enkeis from japan.

US just have the manual A/C.

I love the Ralliart mudflaps. I wanted to add them to a Grey MR but did not know how they would look. Cool now I know.

Is the German car RHD?

I want to know what black mud flaps look like on red though, as that's what my dealer is putting on for me. I think they shoudl look pretty good because other bits and bobs on the car are black.

Thanks again, Matt, for letting me steal your pics -- and you posted them correctly. Looks like you'll be this website's pointman on informing us about the MR (in it's 320 form). Please post more interior pics and a review when you get yours.

You're welcome, and I certainly will post some more pictures when it arrives. Just to add that to give you an idea about this car, the headunit came out and hit the back seats under 2nd gear acceleration...bit scary, but in a good way

Meanmud and I both added the HKS 264/272 cams this winter. Shiv retuned the cars at Altered Atmosphere, along with Rocky and John's cars. All the cars made 320+whp. Some as high as 335whp with race gas. Meanmud and I both added new springs and new wheels. He has black, 18" TE37's with a black MR-style wing. I have the same wheels as the FQ320 in these pics, but silver. They're Team Dynamics Pro Race 1's from UK. I'm looking at Vishnu's Stage 2 kit for the future.

I thought you were looking at M3's.

SWEET!! however I second the losing of the mudflaps.

You know I read an article that says that they are also releasing or in the works of the Evolution VIII MR FQ -330 and 340

Hello,

The vortex generator is available as an optional extra, as it would be with you in US.

The 340 is released over here right now...over the 320 it just has a piggy-back ECU, leather seats and sat nav (same upgrades that the 330 had over the 300)...the really exciting news is that there is an FQ400 (or 450 or 500...not confirmed yet) coming out in september...for £45,000...approx $80,000.
