This 800hp Evo is nearly 100% Carbon Fibre. It weighs only 1000kg, and it's absolutely stunning.

- 800hp, 1000kg, fully carbon fibre. What's not to love?
While we were recently at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, we happened to be sharing a pit bay area with all the cars from GT Auto Garage, including one of the most incredible Mitsubishi Evolutions we have ever seen. Aside from the fact it was made nearly entirely from carbon fibre, with around 800hp and weighing only 1000kg, it was one of the fastest sedans on the track.
Owner Mick Sigsworth tells us that incredibly this vehicle started life as a regular road car, bought off the showroom floor back in 2007. As you can see, it's far from that now!
The car has completely been rebuilt from the ground up, featuring exposed carbon fibre everywhere you look.
We have a chat to Mick about the build and what's inside this beast.

Reported for porn... What a work of art. That intake and suspension, among other stuff, is just amazing. Sweet car indeed
The response on this car must feel incredible. It would be hard to imagine making an Evo weigh any less than this machine.
Sephiroth Aus hero
That suspension setup is quite unique, can't say I've ever seen a more complex modifcation of an existing chassis
most incredible evo ive seen to date
CP9A (Evo 5-6.5 are 1300kg to just under As Stock Street cars so it actually can't be put against how much this car lost being 1450-1500kg ;) If you want instantly light there is plenty more Higher hp less weight cars Evo 2-3 ( 700kg ) 550-600whp , an a Hill climb White Evo 6 Rs is 850kg an Twin charged 800whp ;)
As Australia Goes, the Tilton Evo is the most impressive, if it ever returns with a rebuilt Chassis * since it was stock * just had aerodynamic changes,, an if it was running the paddle setup it would of no doubt gone into the Sub 1.23s, at Wtac, as a Awd that is fast, rwd is no doubt the king of Wtac tho,
Rawky HELL YESS!!!! I’m Honestly lost for words here man! And they used the original Evo Motor which is freaking AWESOME! That suspension man.... So sick with that cantilever setup.... Jeeezz!! So sick!
Cheeky i said the one you listed was a CP9A, this is a CT9A , i have owned both including even a CE9A, its easier to shed weight from something that is originally 200kg+ less weight to begin with its basically the same achievement,, but there is better Evo 6s, an 5s out there then the red one not saying its not impressive,
Indeed.
Looks like about a million bucks. Incredible machine.
1jiveturkey1 looks like 30,000 car with expensive ass parts that still makes the car look like a 30k car.
rps13sr meh.
its basically a new car now man stop hating lol. You cant really compare a car used for racing and one used for daily chores.
You are in the right ball park $$$ from what i have heard, def a lot of money to develop a car this well, it certainly drives well, very fast indeed.
I have a 510kgs LMP3 car and is less than a second slower per lap than this at QR, but my car cost less than a 5th of this to buy.
I can't afford to build a machine like this, but if you want to go fast, there are means and ways of achieving it with far less money.
This EVO is an amazing build and if you can afford to do this, I say go for it, what a hoot for a tin top.
rps13sr wow, you haven't been around the race car scene very long.
This thing oozes quality and engineering excellence.
WOW, the engineering, execution and attention to detail is incredible. Fuel cooler through the air intake, that entire interior with swaybar adjustment in there and under the dash is spectacular! One of the trickest race cars iv ever seen with thought gone into every part of the build.
pretty standard kit for a bespoke race car...
What website you buy that kit on BRO?....?...lol
A masterpiece of egineering under every aspects : F1 scheme pushroads , F1 intake/radiator , full CF chassis and all beautifully integrated.
Thanks for this Porn :)
Unfuckingbelievable. I mean seriously, that's like a feather on four wheels with a demonic engine in the front.
I just love Australians and how dedicated they are for their time attack cars, is just amazing.
Fantastic video, Mick was fantastic at describing his machine, great questions Mark. I have seen Mick and his car a few times now, but never had the chance to talk to him about it or see it up close, this video was what I needed.
I love the fact he has just the right size brakes on, so many go too big, he understands the importance of rotational forces and gyroscopic forces associated with brakes it seems, this is a sign of guy and team who know exactly what they are doing.
I am not sure i would do the fuel cooling in quite the same way, but hats off to ingenuity here, great to see these sorts of mods.
The torque bias in the AWD is great to see too, I always wondered in my 34GTR if going from 50/50 AWD split to a more FWD orientated delivery would be advantageous, I guess I will never know as I have sold the car a while back, but glad to see it working well here in the EVO.
Everything about this car is well though out and simplistically implemented, what a fantastic car and build.
Both the camera work and the EVO build are top notch; thanks for both!
This is what happens when you by an evo, then win the lottery.
This. Is. WICKED!!! Congratulations on your hard work and good luck in your upcoming events. Enjoy the beast you've built.
That's 2200 pounds my fellow Americans, and if you still don't know how much that is. That's the weight of 1 NB Miata.
Thanks brother, I was on my way to Google for the conversion, but you saved me the trip
Also, some more help: 550kw = 738whp on 35psi(only on dyno) but on 29psi(what he runs for racing) it's 458kw = 618whp.
This car has some of the best carbon work I have ever seen!
Stunning looking and the in car footage makes it look so easy to drive! A total credit to everyone involved.
I can't even imagine the forces that you would feel inside a evo that is that dialed. Amazing work all around.
INSANE craftsmanship.. Excelent video, thanks for uploading!
That carbon Fiber work looks very very nice. And no clearcoar? WOW
phasehalide It has clear coat but is added to the mold before making and then sanded with 2000 once fitted and a quick buff.
I have never used a clear coat after removing the piece from the mould. Always gel coat.
shiny mould = shiny parts
so much space in the engine bay
It's nice to see a timing belt cover actually being used! This car is absolutely stunning!!!
CarbonFiber Fever!
The carbon work is beautiful 😍😳 engine looks stunning, paddleshift sequential 😍
You've got to make sure that you "kewwwwl the fewwwwwl".
Wow, that thing is incredible. A++ craftsmanship!
Never in my life i imagine an evo this mad!! Damn!!
Such an incredible car, hats off to all involved!
Id love to see that go up pikes peek would be scary but sick
This is like a formula 1 car with body covering the wheels...I am soooo impressed. Very nice ride. what I would give to drive it for one lap. wow.
Apart from the carbon fibre parts, the rest of the car: parts, engineering and design of the performance parts, and so on is pure automotive p0rn. And then there's the carbon fibre, purely functional and still looking better than on a show car. Mind blowing...
The new Sesto Elemento
nice job on this video mate, perfect blend of tech and driving. i cant wait for WTAC this year!
Wow. Incredible car. Thank you for video!
Amazing car. Great video/interview.
oke.. santa, i want this for next xmass!! 😍
1:10
"Maintain that standard look" 😃 😄 😅 😆 🤣
Gained a sub pimp.
That suspension looks so sexy
I love the dynamic swaybar changes
The stuff day dreams are made of!!!
Great work!!
Mick is my uncle lol, never met him but cool to know the passion for cars runs in the blood lines.
That car looks stunning! Amazing job
Amazing engineering.
Wish we could see Mitsubishi working on these kinds of projects with their machines...
Yuras16 and no one would buy it and they would lose money.
Damn, this Carbon Evo and the Gold bmw might be my favorites from Australia!
Work of art
Beautiful carbon work! Top notch.
It's not a venturi system on the intake,it's the opposite as i know.
The fuel cooler act just as an organiser for a laminar flow,so a better efficiency to fill up the compressor housing.
when you lower air speed ,with a bigger section,you gain pressure.
He uses Bernoulli principles there : lower air speed to gain air pressure to fill up more efficiently.
But the air filter up front is a mistake here,the surface area is way too big,
The rule is about 1/3 intake mouth surface area of the air filter.

omg street registered! killin me
Ben Porter the old one not anymore haha
What a gorgeous machine...
Omg that's just sick dude . That thing is rolling art like the VR38 powered FRS ;)
I'm glad you guys like the car thanks for the comments
Gotta be the sickiest evo I seen
What a piece of automotive art mate, fuckin well done
Only thing left from EVO is the memories
Amazing work
Minus the body, suspension, engine, trans, wheels, interior, windows, roll cage etc; it’s just like a factory Evo
Imagine getting into a fender bender
I'd like to see a video of this amazing car on the scales. Prove it's 1000kgs please!
Just look at it lol I don't think he's lying
This is a evolution of the lancer evolution
Okay I have got to copy that intake air filter setup for my DSM. Never thought about something like that!
holy cow, this is insane
Sounds amazing looks amazing nice ride sir
That guy seems like a top bloke 👌
Damn fine car right there.
Cool the same weight as my SL2, I have a Seibon carbon hood on mine with polymer panels. Mine doesn't have 800 HP though, 350HP, but still should be fun. I'm adding carbon sparco seats in mine too and I have RPF1 15X7's that are 9.8 LBS, I'm into the light car thing myself.
Seems like a ceramic coating exhaust manifold 7:08 a lot of money under this car with all the neat tricks and whistles!
That engine is beautiful.
Thats pretty amazing but lets be honest, that's barely an evo at this point
Nate Sparling This car went full Theseus ship.
My first though was "why evo?" He talks about problems with fitment and axle angle. He could have literally made the car into any shape he wanted with the money put into it. I'm just saying that because the hardest part of my project is getting everything to fit properly.
Nate Sparling seriously idk why these guys don't just build an actual 1off race car
still using the stock engine block i think
Running a stock engine block at 800hp for a 4g63 (at least that's what motor i believe its running) would be physically impossible for the street let alone a time attack car.
First lap and you'd blow it to pieces.
Now if you mean using the same engine that came with the car but not stock at all then yes I agree with you.
one of a kind.. what a beast
Nice suspension setup. I like it. Would love to see how it handles for myself. :D
what a monster!
awesome car and awesome movie thnks!
im at the end of the movie now and all im thinking is JESUS CHRIST WA A CAR
That's fuckiing doooppee. i'm a subie guy, but i'm also a car guy. This is mint
Thats the fastest car i'd problably seen
I'd be curious to know price of all carbon work.
Nice job!
This may seem like a stupid question, but if the car is 100% (or there abouts) aftermarket components, would the car still technically be classed as a Mitsubishi?
An Evo that's almost 50/50 weight distribution - damn, THAT is the most incredible achievement with this car!
[for the record, there isn't ANYTHING "perfect" about 50/50 distribution no matter what any blow hard journalist says - the highest performance cars in the world wouldn't be mid-engine with around 40/60 rear bias if it were]
Them Wiggins clamp😍
is the exhaust collector out of ceramic? white? CRAZY
One beautiful machine
Funny seeing Sebastian vettel speaking with an Aussie accent
Love to see this up against the Norris Evo.
OMG!!!!!! FIRE
Is there any EVO left in this? Other than the tail lights
Holy what a weapon !!
Evo? What evo?
its an evo -.-
Clearly ass hat, hes stripped down and change the car so much its hardly the same car you fuck whitt.
Facade .. Its now become a Volvo 240
Ultimate evolution
the only thing that's evo is the name.
well imagine if a stock civic is nearly 1000kg and make a CF civic, its gonna be light as fuck
Looks obscenely expensive.
I can't read any more comments on this video. It is amazing how stupid/uneducated people are and yet still have to add their .02 cents. Great build. Please disable comments and enjoy your investment
wet weight with passengers? Or just wet weight? or dry weight?
Lil confused, why would you want to raise the engine? Surely the lower the centre of gravity the better?
i love watching a guy talk about his car for 10 mins and drive it for 45 seconds....
it's about the build, not about the driving. It wouldn't make sense to have 10 minutes of driving around a track nobody else in the world has any idea about what is a good or a bad lap time?
Shame that they cannot run the old f1 track config .. kinda skips the best parts of the track on this short version.
Evos rape. That hks one back in the day n there is that crazy carbon one with the giant fenders all custom forgot the name, but think this one is right up there with them for sure
Fuck it sounds amazing.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
Wowww nice job boys
Sick!
What type of Giti tires are they running?
550kw per wheel ? Wtf , what is that in horsepower, im American , kw is electrical, whats the hp to the wheels? Badass evo
Sick
