Evo FQ400 MR in CAR magazine (scanned)!

I had a chance to pick up the October issue of CAR mag in London this weekend. They had the first-ever produced FQ400, that's right 400, MR going against a Pagani Zonda! A few things right off the bat: it beat the Zonda, only 100 to be made for 30 year Evo commemoration, only in UK, they ship a base MR to Ralliart where the engine is rebuilt w/ beefier stuff from several different companies, AND it's fully warrantied. My conclusions:
1) There is no end to the madness.
2) There is always something better coming out next week!!
3) Why did I sell my Evo for a SUV?

The article and pics are incredible, w/ a good amount of details into the mods done to the engine. To paraphrase, this model will beat any supercar out there and take home the groceries for you. I'll scan this article for you guys -- but WILL probably need help with this so please give me your emails anyone.

Sounds awesome, I think if they sold that car here, it would instantly become a classic.

twan, i sent you the email (it has no title btw) w/ the scans; get it up fast for these guys!

good to hear from you meanmud. i agree, the upgrade path you guys have taken is the best one for the US; i really miss that power... but if i were in the UK (and w/ money to burn) this model would be the one.

Ok sorry it took so long.
The scans are here, i had to snapshot them from the pdf he sent me to get them hosted so quality suffered a little, apologies. Although it looks a little chopped up this is the whole article....every picture....every word. I coulda done a better job but i dont have my photoshop software here at work

Thanks for posting the article! Just shows that evos can be reliable with 400 hp. This is slightly off topic but does anyone know what splitter that is?

sweet jeezus! i've gotta go and get this magazine for my collection of "**** your car, your car can't do this" magazine collection! haha -=oP but on the serious note.

its good to see the FQ400 and a complete write up of it too. So, they're going to sell the FQ400 with the Do-Luck lip aye? Great car, a true sleeper too. Supercar spanking with 4doors and a very mild, stock looking body.
