It'll probably be a twin plate like the last one - they can take some getting used to if you've never driven one before as there's not much slip in them.

does FQ still mean what I think it does images/smilies/lol.gif

not looking forward to this car, actually. 400 hp is awesome but waiting 3,5 years for the turbos to spool up isn't

images/smilies/rolleyes.gif The previous FQ400 made max torque @ 5,000rpm I think which is far too high, and frankly rediculous when you can upgrade an EVO 8 with a 20G turbo and make the same power and torque, but the torque will be maxed @ 3,500 - 4,000rpm.

I think you'll find the new one will come on a lot faster, and have a lot more than 500Nm like the previous FQ400, because the EVO X FQ360 already makes 500Nm @ 3,500rpm with the stock turbo!

Remember kids, ''turbo lag'' is there for people who can't drive.

Turbo lag is to give V8s a chance. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Fuel consumption? Who the fuck cares about fuel consumption when buying a ludicrous sports car?

The previous FQ400 set a record at the Top Gear test track. 3.6MPG.

0-60 in 3.5 seconds? Holy crap. But lag is gonna be a huge problem.

Just make sure you get the manual non MR DSG option cuz otherwise you will be changing the tranny as well.

True, but I think most people who buy the Evo know that..

There is an FQ340 SST model in the works as we speak. Reliability and durability testing has been going on for the SST tranny for some time.

Like I said, I don't think lag will be much of a problem considering the FQ360 model is already making 500Nm (370ft-lb) @ 3,500rpm. The FQ400 will probably make something around 400ft-lb (540Nm) @ 3,500-4,000rpm, meaning the car will mjake boost down around 2,000rpm onward. 0-60mph in 3.5s is brutal, and probably 0-100mph in under 10s. Not bad for a 2L.images/smilies/cheers.gif

I hope there is a gas station after you've done 1-100 in 3,5 sec, because you'll gonna need it. images/smilies/tongue.gif

but it is indeed a stunning car. The previous Evo's had always to small fuel tanks I hope this one is different though, but I'm afraid that won't be the case. images/smilies/sad.gif
