Introduced in October 2007, the final generation of Mitsubishi’s legendary, rally-bred EVO road rockets – the X – was no mere rehash of its forebears. Under the four-door saloon’s menacing Omer Halilhodzic-penned skin lay a brand-new, all-alloy 2.0 litre DOHC engine, the 4B11 MIVEC, which allowed service intervals to be increased from 4,500 to 10,000 miles and a thoroughly revised version of Mitsubishi’s permanent all-wheel drive system dubbed S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) that enabled torque vectoring across the rear axle. Also new was the option of a six-speed, dual clutch ‘SST’ transmission (akin to VW’s DSG or Porsche’s PDK) with steering-mounted magnesium alloy shift paddles. A far more engaging unit than the Tiptronic automatic gearbox it supplanted, SST quickly found favour with those driving at ‘maximum attack’. Unique to the UK and honed by HKS Engineering, the Evo X FQ-300 GSR SST boasted some 295PS and 300lbft of torque and was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and 155mph. Winner of the 2008 Automotive Excellence Awards’ ‘Fun to Drive’ category and shortlisted for the ‘World Performance Car of the Year’ prize, the Evo X was also chosen by the British constabulary for use as a high-speed pursuit police car.

Finished in Lightning Blue with Black cloth upholstery, this particular example was supplied new by the Poole Car Centre Ltd of Dorset (an authorised Ralliart dealer). Serviced at 1,493, 9,594, 10,976, 11,783, 23,008, 34,061, 40,028, 43,739, 51,252, 56,784 and 61, 251 miles, the odometer currently shows some 68,600 warranted miles. Accompanying invoices record the fitment of lighter Girodisc brakes and various suspension polybushes. Under the bonnet, ‘HF08 AFV’ appears largely standard aside from a HKS sports air filter and aftermarket ‘dump valve’. Starting readily and running evenly during our recent photography session, the Mitsubishi is still electrifyingly fast (especially cross country). Practical, affordable and fun, this Evo X is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack, MOT certificate valid until June 2023 and sundry invoices.
