Sounds like £50,000 For that money rather get a M3 or a used Porsche.

EVO FQs have only been available in UK for several years. I wonder why.

the seats look amazing. Recaro ftw

That looks awesome. I love the pic of the engine bay.

I think clarkson tested a 360 and not the 400

The parts list is for Evo 8, not 10?

he says right at the start of the video (0:05ish) "This is a Mitsubishi Evo 8"

Nice pics, but didn't find the review itself too interesting or informative.
