The Black Evo 10: A Journey of Performance and Style
The Black Evo 10 is not just any car; it’s a 2008 Mitsubishi Evo 10 FQ400 Replica that has become a symbol of our passion for high-performance vehicles and innovative design. This remarkable car was meticulously crafted by Jap Performance Parts to showcase our extensive range of carbon and hydro-dipped parts, including interior trims, door mirrors, and interior vents. The attention to detail and commitment to quality in this build are evident in every component and modification.
The Build: Crafting an Icon
The Black Evo 10 was transformed into an FQ400 Replica, featuring a full FQ400 body kit that significantly enhances its aggressive stance and aerodynamic efficiency. The centrepiece of this transformation is the custom centre exit exhaust, which not only looks striking but also improves exhaust flow and performance. Complementing the body kit are the 18-inch Volk Racing TE37 rims, renowned for their lightweight construction and durability, which provide both aesthetic appeal and functional performance benefits.
JDM Spec and Performance
This Evo 10 started as a JDM spec SST model, known for its advanced technology and superior driving dynamics. The SST (Sport Shift Transmission) offers lightning-fast gear changes and optimal power delivery, making it ideal for both track and street use. This performance-oriented foundation set the stage for further enhancements that would make the Black Evo 10 a standout at various automotive events.
A Star at Drift and Static Shows
The Black Evo 10 quickly became a favourite at drift events and static car shows, turning heads and capturing hearts wherever it went. Its debut appearance in Malta was met with widespread acclaim, and it continued to impress as it traveled across Poland and Romania. The car’s presence at these events not only showcased its performance capabilities but also highlighted the quality and innovation of the parts and modifications developed by Jap Performance Parts.

The car’s unique features and exceptional build quality caught the attention of Total Evolution Magazine, which featured the Black Evo 10 in one of its issues. This feature brought further recognition and prestige to the vehicle, cementing its status as a remarkable example of automotive engineering and design. One of the standout modifications highlighted in the magazine was the custom ducktail boot lid, a one-off piece that adds both style and aerodynamic functionality.
