VAS THUM It could've been one of the WRC Lancer rally cars. Luckily it was just one of those aftermarket jobs. BTW. It meant to say "Just take comfort in the fact that it wasn't one of the proper WRC rally cars."
Im sorry but what the is the logic behind the government destroying the car of a criminal? It was him who did the crime, not the car and that EVO can be put into auction and bought by someone who will cherish the car although I will admit this is one of the coolest things Top Gear has done
yeah, the car is now going to waste, sell it and give the money to a childern hospital or something like that, i'dd 4000 pounds that car, but no, just scrap it
+Interceptor810 Yeh true it is very pointless and a waste of a good EVO. Suppose the Judge's argument is that the car was bought with drug money so it has to be destroyed.
I'm sure that a lot of evo fanboys are upset about the evo getting destroyed but it's worth mentioning that this evo probably was never intended to be run on the road ever again and most likely impounded and destroyed. I'm sure there's plenty more on the road that you CAN buy. I think I read somewhere that the evo used in this show had it's airbags removed, to be honest it sounds like it was used by a drug dealer, which wouldn't surprise me because dealers love evos. If that's the case then it was probably already sentenced to death before this show.
Aphev It's not for sale, it's likely an impounded car that was used in evidence. Put it this way, it was sentenced to be crushed way before top gear got a hold of it, if anything they did it a favour by driving it for one last time.
Haha I feel you, but if you ever watch the whole full episode it actually belongs to a drug dealer who got arrested. The court wanted his car to be demolish however Top Gear decide to propose and use it in this event :)
That car just cruises over the rough terrain like it's nothing. Pretty damn cool machine, even when compared to tanks and armoured vehicles it's still impressive. I want one. Shame they cost so much...
Sell cocaine like the drug dealer did. Youl be able too afford one in no time ! Just drive it better than whoever was driving this one when the police chase you 😂
lol went the claw grabs the evo, the claw's at the bottom of the window but as they cut to the exterior, it's at the top. Love Top Gear though, car documentation + comedy... pure genius.
CLARKSON! Anyone that heartless who does that to a tuned Evo, especially a 7 that is that beautiful deserves to be Hung, Drawn, and Quartered! (T^T) AHHHHHHH (O_O) Oh! I weep for that Evo.
Frikgeek refresh my memory since I haven't seen it in a while, but does it's illegality have something to do with it's engine setup not being street legal? The pop-pop-pop-pop of exhaust is something only race-only Evos make I think ...

i found it a bit stupid that they basically claimed he would be shot at with live rounds i mean everyone knows they wont be doing that while someone is in the car
@ammar israr thats what i thaught the trojan looks like its a machine you clearly dont want to be on the wrong side of or simply its one brute of a looking machine you dont want to piss off
So we finally know the fate of Earl after he got defeated by the player in NFS MW but was not lucky enough to draw the pink slip card. He fled to Britain after his defeat, removed the car vinyls and attempted street racing for which the British Army took his car out with tanks. Should have stayed in Rockport where they will just chase him with corvettes at the worst.
So what would have they lost if they gave this Evo to me and said that it was caught and bla bla, i would have got my dreams and nothing changed for them :(
am i the only one who thinks that these military vehicles are the those who you imagine and draw when you are still a child when it someone says draw a car for zombie apocalypse..?? O.o pretty badass..
