The Kent-based company will unveil its new QBE87G heavy-duty six speed sequential transmission when the show opens at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. Based on the acclaimed, proven and successful QBE69G unit, the QBE87G fulfills a requirement for an all-wheel drive transmission suitable for high powered motorsport and road cars. Specified for power outputs of up to 750bhp, the QBE87G features Quaife Engineering's state-of-the art gearchange mechanism, which allows for a choice of user defined gear lever locations, or the option to upgrade to a closed loop semi-automatic paddle shift system. Also making its debut is the Quaife Evo X front ATB differential. Designed to reduce cornering understeer and improve front end traction during acceleration for all versions of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X super saloon, it comes with a lifetime warranty, even for those using it in motorsport. Installation requires no modifications or machining as the differential is designed to be a direct replacement for the original Mitsubishi model, and is suited to all Lancer Evo X RS, MR, GS, GSR and GSR SST variants. “Autosport International is always a key part of our strategy,” explained company director, Sharon Quaife-Hobbs, “There are lots of networking opportunities, so the show is a perfect chance for us to generate new relationships and develop new business. The show has been a major event for us at Quaife for a number of years now; I can't imagine starting the year any other way.” Quaife Engineering
