Maybe it's just the right angle. It struck me, as I had always remembered the regular GTO as closer to a 308 (I haven't seen an Evoluzione in the metal yet).
here 's one, as driven by my friend Peter Hardman

as for performance, this is from AutoItalia mag :
"the trusty 288 Evo was recently treated to a rebuild. Brakes, suspension and transmission have been overhauled and the car is at Snetterton for a shakedown.
Before dismantling , the dyno measured the power output of the 2.8 ltre V8 @ 440BHP.The old Magnetti Marelli management system was ditched in favour of a fully programmable Motec system. Without increasing boost, the Motec ECU raised the power output to 550 BHP.The motor was then dismantled and rebuilt and uprated using state of the art pistons, rods , valves, six throttle bodies and water injection. The standard Michelotto race cams are retained as are the twin IHI turbos and twin intercoolers. Power is now 661 BHP - and could reach 700 BHP on race fuel- with just 1.87 bar boost. Charge temperature is the key to to turbo power and the 2888 GTO is limited by the size and position of its 2 intercoolers. Fitting larger intercoolers in an area with high airspeed is not possible without losing the car's character. If it were , then 1000 BHP would be possible....."

Quite sure those are Norweigan, all cars were listed and displayed at a Norweigan dealer for some time before they were taken back to France. Don't know if they sold anyone..
