Description
AMM International is delighted to present this exceptional 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ‑340, finished in the rare and highly sought-after Medium Purplish Grey Mica (factory code A39). One of only 400 UK examples, this meticulously maintained and highly modified Evo represents the ultimate evolution of Mitsubishi’s rally-inspired performance range, combining analogue driving excitement with modern engineering enhancements.
This particular example has been extensively upgraded and refined, now producing an astonishing 605BHP. At the heart of the car lies a fully rebuilt 2.3-litre stroker engine by EvoTune Ltd, featuring a Precision 5858 ball-bearing turbo, JMF manifold, and a Link G4+ ECU. Power delivery is complemented by a Clive W-built five-speed gearbox and rear differential, while the all-wheel-drive system is supported by a rebuilt Active Yaw Control (AYC). The engine is tuned for both low and high boost, producing approximately 470BHP on low boost and 605BHP on high, making this Evo a truly exhilarating machine.
Handling and braking performance have been extensively enhanced with a Meister-R adjustable suspension, K-Sport 356mm 8-pot big brake kit with grooved discs, and Speedline Turini wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The underbody has been comprehensively reconditioned with poly-bushed suspension components, a Whiteline sway bar, and a relocated battery for improved weight distribution. Carbon fibre components including the rear spoiler, roof vortex generator, and Spec-R shock tower covers add both style and performance credibility.
The interior retains the original Ralliart specification, including half-leather seats, MOMO deep-dish steering wheel with NRG boss, carbon gear knob, and OEM gauges. Additional performance-focused upgrades include a Russ Fellows exhaust system, Exedy Hyper Twin Plate clutch with lightened flywheel, AEM gauges, Turbosmart pod, and a touchscreen Kenwood stereo. Every component reflects the attention to detail and quality investment poured into this car, with over £40-45k in invoices spent on upgrades, refurbishments, and maintenance.
This Evo VIII MR FQ‑340 UK Spec is supplied with a comprehensive history folder, detailing its meticulous maintenance and upgrades, alongside two keys and original fob. With 89,650 miles on the odometer, this car represents a rare opportunity to acquire a UK-legal, high-powered, rally-bred performance icon, ready to deliver breath-taking driving excitement.
