Brief
Viewing by appointment only.
A stunning low owner Evo 9 FQ360 HKS with only 22,194 miles & Full History from new!
Totally unmodified.
Without doubt a modern classic & very sought after, particular examples such as this one.
This was the last Evo model to use the 4G63 engine & Mitsubishi wanted to make sure they gave it a perfect send off.

So this car is the end of an era, it has fantastic performance, it also has rarity as Mitsubishi only produced 200 examples!
With the production of the Mitsubish Evolution now stopped, Evolution’s are strongly on the rise, and demanding serious interest.

History
Purchased new from John Banks Mitsubishi on 12th July 2007, with original purchase invoice complimenting the substantial history file.
Also various correspondence from John Banks Mitsubishi is within the file, along with all finance paperwork to suit.
Of course full MOT history from new is within the file, along with various sorn declarations for winter months when the car was not used.
Also within the file is a Mitsubishi shipping manifest detailing all the FQ360 HKS cars when coming to the UK originally.
As you would expect with a car of this pedigree, good & regular maintenance is crucial, even on a low mileage example like this.

Body & Paintwork
We use paint depth measuring devices to be 100% sure of paintwork originality, we can confirm that the paintwork on this example is totally original.
The car has no dents, or car parking marks & all badges are complete.
All glass is original & all carbon fibre trims are in excellent condition.
Lights look stunning all round, with no damage at all.
Only a few very light stonechips are present on the car, these are extremely minor, especially considering how thin & soft the paintwork is on Evo models.
A truly gorgeous example.
Interior & Trim
The interior of this example demonstrates very low mileage, along with great care.
The stitched seats looks superb, with only the smallest of wear marks on the drivers bolster but that is being very fussy!
Piano black dash inserts are again, unmarked & without the typical cleaning marks/scratches.
Everything works just as it should do, original Ralliart floor mats are still fitted, along with the optional stereo fitted.
Rear seats look like they have never been used, & the back of the front seats are as new with no scratches or foot markings.
Engine
What an engine!
The Evo IX MR FQ360 was the last of the 4G63 engine, and Mitsubishi wanted to make an impact.
With titanium turbo impeller, MIVEC, HKS hardpipe’s, high flow fuel pump, HKS exhaust, HKS ECU & more, they certainly made an impact!
With 366bhp & 363lb ft these cars are extremely capable, & fast even by today’s standards.
0-60mph in 3.9 seconds with a manual gearbox & no launch control!
Having ran the 4G63 engine through the Evolution range, from the Evolution I to this, the Evolution IX MR FQ360 HKS, this limited edition end of the run model is quickly becoming very sought after.
The engine bay itself presents very nicely indeed, being totally original without any modifications from new.
This particular example is nice and quiet, both when cold and warm.
No smoking at all, either on start up, idle, boost or overrun.
The car performs perfectly through the rev range, with no hesitations, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Running Gear
As per the rest of the car, the running gear is simply spot on.
The original Bilstein suspension is in very good order, still nice bright yellow legs.
Original Brembo calipers are showing no signs of lacquer peel or ‘pinking’ (very common failure).
Likewise the original Sppedline alloy wheels are in the original finish, still displaying the original ‘Speedline’ print on the rims, along with perfect centre caps.
The underside of the car itself is very good, with no damage or corrosion & it has recently had a light dry ice clean.
The original HKS exhaust system is also is great condition.
All tyres have great tread depth & are of a premium brand, as you would expect with comprehensive servicing, brakes work perfectly, clutch operates as it should do, & the gearbox is a joy to use.
