Been trying to read up on Evo's this week.

Getting a little lost with all the variations.... and that's just of one model type. Been mostly interested in the Evo 8's, but there seem to be MR's, GSR's, RS's and FQ's.....

Can anyone either point me to a resource or tell me what the exact UK model line up was and their differences?


Cheers. smile

Cheers. Already been there. I can't see any mention of FQ models and it doesn't say what are US, JDM and UK specs. All seem to be limited to 112mph, so I presume it's mainly talking JDM spec.

Thank you very much smile


So from reading that, there's an VIII FQ300 and an VIII MR FQ300?? Sounds confusing.

Either way, I say in one at a dealer the other week and it had a lovely alcantara interior, so I guess it must either have been an VIII FQ330 or an VIII MR FQ340.

Yes there MR's and FQ's and MR FQ's

AFAIK the FQ's are dealer modified so depending on the base model if they modified a MR then its a MR FQ

The Evo 8 fq's are just standard uk evo 8's with different power outputs.

The Evo 8 MR was a different car.It had a few tweaks over the regular Evo8 such as revised suspension,different turbo,lightweight roof,different wheels and a nice black interior.Im guessing the car you saw was an MR as the standard 8's interior was pretty nasty! I think they only came in a few colours too.Grey,silver,red and white IIRC although i might be wrong.

The MR FQ's are therefore Evo 8 MR's with varying factory power outputs.

I had an 8 MR fq 300 and it was a cracking car and a deffinate improvement over the regular 8.

If you are after an 8 pay the extra and go for the MR,you wont be dissapointed!
