HKS prepped Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Plex

Most of Japan�s tuners are focused on the arduous task of cracking Nissan�s Fort Knox of an ECU in its GT-R supercar but that doesn�t mean they�ve forgotten about one of the country�s other tuning favorites,

Mitsubishi�s new Lancer Evolution X. Turbo performance experts HKS has now revealed its full specs for the Mitsubishi including a 376hp version of the car�s 2.0L mill.

The engine pack consists of a higher power turbo, an upgraded intake manifold and a modded ECU. All these goodies push output to a license-threatening 376hp while torque gets an additional boost of 40 Newtons, now delivering a meaty 480Nm.

To make the most of the extra performance, HKS also upgraded the chassis and installed a new suspension set-up. Not only is handling improved but the car also gets a lower ride height, 19in alloys and a full carbon fiber bodykit.

If you only know HKS from the �Fast and the Furious� movies, rest assured the Japanese tuner certainly knows what it�s doing. The tuner has been in the business of modifying cars for over 35 years now - during which it�s produced a number D1, Super Lap Battle, and other race series winning cars.
