It's incredible - who the fuck chops up an EVO 9 to make it shorter and lighter?! 
and the spec - it reads like the best of everything!
Motec M800
Hollinger straight cut dog box
Brembo 8 pots
etc etc etc

I like the way he hasn't gone for huge discs as well. Car is light and it doesn't need em... indicates alot of thought as well as cash pumped into that.

Big disks = more unsprung weight = bad!

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....
ND Evo 9 SWB - Basic Spec List:
Power
841Hp & 635LbFt (Klotz 118 Race Fuel)
Target weight 1080Kg (Dry)
Target top speed: 215 Mph+
Target ¼ mile: Sub 9 seconds
Engine, Gearbox, ECU & Brakes
ND 2.3 litre stoker
Garrett GT42R roller bearing turbo
ND 4” WRC style custom exhaust system with side exit
Motec M800 Pro ECU
Holinger dog engagement straight cut gearkit
Ikeya sequential shifter with digital gear indicator
Brembo 8 pot metal matrix calipers front & rear
Body
Acid dipped custom 2 door short wheelbase low roof Evolution 9 shell
Custom T45 full weld in load bearing roll cage
Custom air jack tyre changing system
Interior/Exterior
Carbon everywhere!

Awesome Spec & with Simons Knowledge the results will be just as awesome.
Total Respect
Can relate to the Topspeed but the accleration ive no doubt will be
Mine is geared for 216mph for the 5th gear programme so may set him a good Target to be quicker than a 16 year old Sierra
