AMS Evolution VIII

Hidden in one of the darker halls at the SEMA Show 2008 was the AMS Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII. So glad it saw it from the corner of my eyes. I first learned of them after viewing a couple of clips over the net. It's best quarter mile run is clocked at 8.42 seconds at 171 mph which is why it is dubbed the worlds fastest Evolution VIII, boasting 1142 All Wheel Horsepower. Madness!









They've really pushed the little 4 pot, 4G63T engines to the next level. Hat's off.

Here are a couple of clips...
