The Japanese fellas at Mitsubishi have, for some strange reason, taken against us Brits. Well to be precise only one of us, but he is one of our best - Sir Isaac Newton. In creating the EVO VIII they have been nothing short of thoroughly disrespectful.
The car accelerates, stops and goes around corners in a way that confounds Newton's previously much respected theories. It doesn't finish there either - Albert Einstein gets a good trashing as well. We have experimented with the car at Classic Car Club and determined that it is actually possible to return from a journey before heading off (this always causes a bit of havoc in the car park as I am sure you can imagine).
Now from our understanding Evo stands for evolution. This obviously begs the question how can this car evolve any more. According to Geoff, our postman (the source of all our knowledge on cars and the world in general), the new models will not drive any better as this is simply not possible. However looking ahead, the Mitsubishi Evo XI due out in September 2010, will be able to fly over traffic queues, turn invisible when entering the congestion zone and fold away into a bag, like a Brompton cycle, when you nip into the shops or the gym.
We have obviously placed an early order on your behalf, but until then you will have to slum it in our physics defying time machine - life's tough sometimes huh?
