@@miljororforsprakpartiet290 the problem with evo is its Lack of horsepower and its turbo having a lot of turbo-lag and replacing the its engine with a bigger and heavier engine would hurt it cornering performance which is suppose to be the advantage/strength of its AWD system
A little turbo lag, easily prevented by high rpm's and quick shifting, is a minor price to pay vs. rallying a 2 metre wide, 2 ton heavy RWD supercar one inch off the ground.

I've owned an Evo IX for 6 years, and despite driving cars like the M3, GTR, 458, 911 turbo, Viper GTS, Panamera turbo, 5.0 POS mustang etc, I have never found a better car where you can feel the road through your arse and the drivers wheel and drive it on the limit with as much pleasure as the Evo. The only thing comparable to a crisp 4cyl, spooling turbo, and blow off valve (in my opinion) was the 458 with the symphony behind your head. Yes the interior is plastic, yes i've spent an ungodly amount of money on mods, yes the turbo takes the better part of a decade to reach full load if you're at low rev, but walking out to it as a daily driver makes you smile every time you let off the pedal and let the BOV flutter. I cycle through cars faster than my grandma uses colostemy bags, but this car is the shit, and its the only car I can confidently say I will never sell. Three year update since comment = 152k miles at 400whp on stock block, no issue but the fuel pump.

Watching this video both makes me so happy and so sad. Gone are the days of Japanese automotive ingenuity and originality. The 80s to early 2000's were truly the heyday of Japanese cars. From Toyota to Honda to Nissan.
GTR? or to a lesser inexpensive degree what he said(370z) or a 4 door G37. 330ishHP is more than enough to burn a set a tires off swinging donuts. I made a video.

0-60 in 3.5 seconds is insane today, so in 2004 it was ridiculous. I wonder how many production cars in 2004 had a faster 0-60 times. Maybe only the Carrera GT, CC8S and Atom?
Did you really believe that the 0-60 MPH time of the 2000s 270 horsepower rally car was 3.5 seconds? Know that Japanese cars can never compete with European supersport cars. real 0-60 time is 4.7 seconds don't believe these lies
I was shocked by this car's performance in NFS and thought it's so unrealistic but after this episode, i changed my mind. The Mitsubishi is absolutely crazy ...
A 2004 Evo producing 400 hp and 3.5 seconds to 60mph and recently carwow people are creating a big hype about A45 AMG 2.0 litre producing over 400hp. Japanese were decades ahead in terms of big numbers from small engines
that doesn't deny the fact that their sedans are some of the fastest 4 door cars around the nordenchleif ! And also baring the highest top speed records !
Damn playing Hysteria by Muse in the background as the cars race is something else. Makes the Evo looks like it's chasing its prey rather than trailing after the Murcielago.
Years ago I witnessed a Subaru Impreza beating a F50 during a 3 lap race on a closed track. Both drivers had raced professionally. The F50 driver was furious for losing to such an "ordinary" car.

man a 4 piston keep up to a 12 piston good work mitsu, and if mitsubishi wanted to make a car faster than the lambo there can just there are in rally so take your time
+Filip Gereg But see, that's the brilliant side of the Evo. You can afford one. I can pick up an Evo 8, here in the States for 15k. Even new, they're only 30-40k, for the performance of a Lambo on a track. It's fantastic. But, won't look near as nice, nor sound as nice.
Thats my car, only in silver. My daily driver. 19 years old, 278,000 miles. Virtually everything was rebuilt in 2020. Bought it new, always maintained, serviced. Looks and drives like new. LOVE it!
This will always be my One of Favourite EPISODES!! I wish Paul.W saw this.. its so wild how at 4:50 the FQ MR Evo by HKS and Ralliart (Which was mainly known with the Evo 9 MR FQ360) just launches out of that corner like a ROCKET🤤🤤
These days you can get a used EVO in good condition for around 50 thousand, a Murcielago on the other hand will put you back around 450 to half a million. Lambos always appreciate in value.
i've had an Evo 8 MR since 2013 and it is by far the easiest car to drive in my collection. my wife regularly daily drives it. i've done about 7 grand in engine work and on an eco tune it makes about 680 bhp. i've rolled the fenders, jumped up to 265/45r18's and have it sitting on FEAL 442 coilovers and the rest of the suspension upgraded with Cusco parts. finished it off with a set of Kansei Roku wheels wrapped in Falken rubber. the only car that i prefer over this in my collection personally is my SR20det FD rx7, guess that's a good thing though as the wife tends to keep the MR.
The evo has a big advantage over the Murcielago in weight terms. The evo weighs 3,264 pounds (1,480 kg) and the 2009 Murcielago is 4,058 pounds (1,841kg). The Murcielago has straight line speed but the weight really holds it back. I have to say it handle very well for being 900 pounds heavier than the Evo
Let's not forget it's a supersport car and it's meant to be fast. So there's no reason to appreciate it's acceptable handling because of its heavy weight.
I know right? My dream car is the Nissan GTR, but the Mitsubishi EVO is an amazing car. It's nice to see a cheap Japanese car take on an expensive supercar and is on par with it. Goes to show that the supercars are not the only super cars.
torogami2 well in my belief a four door sedan like the evo shouldnt be tailgating with the lambo,put it this way a proud kid whos so proud of himself because his fit and rich and decided to join a marathon with a proper training coach while another kid shows up lesser than his status no training still beats him. its still bullying putting someone or something to shame that should not happen because of its price and impracticality and speed was just laugh at by and evo running around corners.

mitsubishi can keep up with the lamborghini! wow! great work little tiny mitsubishi,AND you can still have back room to put your things,luggage and other things so its much more practical too!
Go to the highway and we will se if that mitsu will keep up, the murcie aint build for the track.
man a 4 piston keep up to a 12 piston good work mitsu, and if mitsubishi wanted to make a car faster than the lambo there can just there are in rally so take your time
TheShunon y so pro driver you must be , put you foot on pedal an gg
Marko Marić atleast i own a murcie and my brother just sold hes evo ix.
TheShunon y good for you i own ford focus and im happy
I love that they used Muse's best song in this episode
crazy to think mistubishi was once at lamborghini level
The EVO is a factory sleeper. Amazing piece of engineering.
Sleeper evo is is evo with base model lancer body
6 years later still as awesome as possible
Jeremy: it's almost impossible to crash this
James: hold that thought
Best Top Gear Episode Ever
It's been well-known EVO is king of corner
Handbrake turn and oversteer solves the problem
J. O. Still corner king.. the steering is so direct you don't need a big turning radius
I'm reading through Initial-D and there's an Evo arc. let me say, the Evo in that book is tough and scary to race against
Actually the Lotus Exiege is the king of the corners
@@ShanesAutos no Evo 5 are the best for corners
Seems like the masses are all for the Evo. I prefer the Murcielago tho. But the LP640 one.
Not like I will ever own any of those two lol.
+Filip Gereg the only reason i would prefer a lambo over an evo is because of the sound. Nothing is more satisfying than listening to a lambo
Yes, and the looks are so mean but elegant, you can't explain it, and there is no as much turbo lag. A Murcielago is a Murcielago.
+Safin azizi gushy
+Filip Gereg But see, that's the brilliant side of the Evo. You can afford one. I can pick up an Evo 8, here in the States for 15k. Even new, they're only 30-40k, for the performance of a Lambo on a track. It's fantastic. But, won't look near as nice, nor sound as nice.
you'll never have enough money to buy it
Thats my car, only in silver. My daily driver. 19 years old, 278,000 miles. Virtually everything was rebuilt in 2020. Bought it new, always maintained, serviced. Looks and drives like new. LOVE it!
The shot at 3:39 is so beautiful, reminds me of one of those Gran Turismo wallpapers.
I really like sporty 4 door cars like this. Their price is pretty efficient and they are kinda the best of the both worlds
Muse! :)
Hysteria!!!!!
:D
sub to my yt NOW or ill deletle ur fortnite aaccount
@@Xrex-li1yb you are sad
Fuze - nope
”Almost impossible to crash this thing!”
James May - Hold my beer!
This will always be my One of Favourite EPISODES!! I wish Paul.W saw this.. its so wild how at 4:50 the FQ MR Evo by HKS and Ralliart (Which was mainly known with the Evo 9 MR FQ360) just launches out of that corner like a ROCKET🤤🤤
Yea im pretty fucking sure we all know what car that is..
“The wing mirrors are modeled like shrek”
The best thing i will hear from jeremy clarkson himself.
yes but its the smoothness of the ride, the response and fuel consumption among other things, not to mention the 4g63 was engineered incredibly well
At least once a year I revisit this video. I get goosebumps every time. When I go to bed, I dream sweet (unrealistic) dreams of owning an Evo 9.
3 times more expensive? More like 10
at the time the fq400 was £50k and the Murcielago was £170k
Suggestive Biscuits 50k
Yes 50000 pounds / 75000usd / 88000 aud
These days you can get a used EVO in good condition for around 50 thousand, a Murcielago on the other hand will put you back around 450 to half a million. Lambos always appreciate in value.

i've had an Evo 8 MR since 2013 and it is by far the easiest car to drive in my collection. my wife regularly daily drives it. i've done about 7 grand in engine work and on an eco tune it makes about 680 bhp. i've rolled the fenders, jumped up to 265/45r18's and have it sitting on FEAL 442 coilovers and the rest of the suspension upgraded with Cusco parts. finished it off with a set of Kansei Roku wheels wrapped in Falken rubber. the only car that i prefer over this in my collection personally is my SR20det FD rx7, guess that's a good thing though as the wife tends to keep the MR.
Done bragging, champ?
What utter BS. Lol.
1:23 "Look! One finger" - Jeremy Clarkson
This is what sold me on the evo, ever since its been a dreamcar and when james picked it for the scandinavien roadtrip it prove it self once again!
The evo has a big advantage over the Murcielago in weight terms. The evo weighs 3,264 pounds (1,480 kg) and the 2009 Murcielago is 4,058 pounds (1,841kg). The Murcielago has straight line speed but the weight really holds it back. I have to say it handle very well for being 900 pounds heavier than the Evo
ok
2009 Murcielago is the SV and it weighs about 1600 kg
This is 2002 Murcielago, the slowest and heaviest one
Let's not forget it's a supersport car and it's meant to be fast. So there's no reason to appreciate it's acceptable handling because of its heavy weight.
Rest In Peace The King of Rally (EVO)

@@tungabunga4107 You have one in your profile pic
@@emulatorgaminguk2751 yea and?
My dream was having this car and now I have it ❤️
4:03 thats the one, that downshift. That V12...that EVO. This is absolute peak Topgear!!
“You never had me , you never had your car”
even assuming they have same price, I still pick the lancer..
Same I'd stick the evo. Just better looking body & turbo.
What have you been smoking bro
any day of the week I'd choose the evo
+AzraelPercussionNEO the lambo doesn't have a turbo, crazy italians
+Ivan Christiawan Budi lol me too i mean come on its 4doors + AWD
Can we appreciate the algorithm . . .
And the fact that that they’re playing muse in the background of like the best show ever
This video further cemented my love for the Evo and what it's capable of
This reminds me of nfs carbon... i used to defeat Wolf's murcielago with copy pasted kenji's lancer evo
it makes me so proud, my dream car bullied an expensive v12 bull!
I know right? My dream car is the Nissan GTR, but the Mitsubishi EVO is an amazing car. It's nice to see a cheap Japanese car take on an expensive supercar and is on par with it. Goes to show that the supercars are not the only super cars.
It kept up. It was far from bullying
torogami2 You're missing that it kept up casually with a professional touring car driver pushing the bull to it's limit.
torogami2 well in my belief a four door sedan like the evo shouldnt be tailgating with the lambo,put it this way a proud kid whos so proud of himself because his fit and rich and decided to join a marathon with a proper training coach while another kid shows up lesser than his status no training still beats him. its still bullying putting someone or something to shame that should not happen because of its price and impracticality and speed was just laugh at by and evo running around corners.
Top Gear VS Life. The most fun is driving cars on an airplane runway, it looks nice, when there are good photographers, and smoke effects and camera angles. But how is it in real life??
5:47 LOOOOOSERR lol i laugh so hard every time he sais that throughout all the series
2:43 NICE!!! They got some Beastie Boys playing in the background! And it’s one of my favorite songs!!!
