The MLR were recently invited to Norris Designs for an exclusive preview of their new demo car. There will be a full write up including an in-depth interview with Simon Norris in the next edition of Wastegate Chatter out on 1st October, but here's a brief rundown of the car and some pictures as the final build nears completion.

Exactly what the new Norris Designs demo car is has been the subject of much speculation and Simon's kept it a closely guarded secret whilst creating what is the most unique Evo ever seen.

Believing that the only way Evo performance can take a big step forward is with drastic weight loss, Norris Designs have built an Evo that should weigh in at just 1080kg. With a power to weight ratio of nearly 800bhp per ton it's almost 300bhp per ton more powerful than the old Norris Design Evo 7 demo car!!

To build an Evo this light has meant the car has undergone some major weight loss and incredible engineering, including a substantial amount of the bodyshell being removed to make the car shorter and lower. In fact it is 10inches shorter and 3inches lower than a standard Evo 9 shell. With the shell customised this much, the rear doors have been removed creating the world's first Short Wheelbase 2-Door Evo....

one word....


WOW

*drool*

Oh my god, my pants have just become very moist

That looks gorgeous!! loving the 2 doorness!! the black on paint looks a bit max flower-ish but the car itself looks fantastic!!

Them figures look rather fetching, cant wait to see this thing in action!!

black paint?? on the bonnet and front bumper ya mean??

its all carbon fibre

the roof is also fully carbon aswell so i hear

I know, i mean the black(carbon fibre) contrasting against that awful green

it makes it look really mean

1 min and ill find you a front view picture!

and a pic of it next to a normal evo!

engine... WOOF!!!

madness!

i was just gonna post pics of the engine but you beat me too it

Thats what im thinking!!

hate to be the c*nt stuck with the job of cleanin the engine bay tho

Oh sweet mother of jesus, thats one hell of a god damn sexy mother ****in evo. mmmmm get onto to its engine bay!!! Oh my god look at those wheels!! Yummy those mirrors are the dogs and i love the whole colour scheme. FAST FAST FAST ahhhh front bumper is delicious, oooo ahhhhh look at the bonnet. *drool* *dream*

I want one!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrr

I think laura's tryin to say its alright like

Looks like that MG supercar!
And did Emily Bishop sew the interior I wonder?

yeah its alright like, wouldnt have one ahahaha

side-exit

I like the blue one

Mint idea but the snot green and carbon dont do it for me.And the '9s front bumper is crap compared to the '8s.Even tho it is a carbon copy(get the pun?) Maybe if it was a darker colour(like the purple '6 next to it) id be proud to own it.As it is i'd just own it and not like the way it looks,ave it for the speed.

Laura wants to make sweet love to it i think

^ I like the Evo 8, but that Evo 9 looks like a sl@g.
