The EVO VII is a pretty rare sight on Dutch roads, so when I was given the chance to shoot this example I immediately said yes. The car belongs to Henry who imported the car from the UK. After he bought the car he didn't change much except for the eye catching orange Gram Lights 57D. As the name suggests on the windshield Henry is part of the Streetgasm team. It is one of the more well-known teams in the Dutch tuning scene. The car has a lot of carbon touches. It starts at the front with a chunky...

As soon as I think of Mitsubishi EVOs, I think about all the different styles and ways people modify them. From time attack, drifting, drag racing and circuit racing to clean, appropriate street cars such as this. In the hands of modifiers, the EVO is a truly versatile platform. For this month's Street Cars & Sleepers theme, I uncovered this gem that prowls the streets of Sydney, Australia. Being a street car, this EVO IX isn't built to crush opponents on the track. But that doesn't...

"It started as a stock street car, but once I got the racing needle in my arm the rest was history." That's a sentiment that many people around the world would have heard before. For Sydney coffee shop owner Nik Kalis, his addiction wasn't to brewed caffeine, but for time attack racing. And to ensure he could get his racing fix regularly, he decided to transform his daily driver into a street registered TA monster. The black EVO IX that you see here is, believe it or not, still...

Besides offering a much more affordable way to own your favorite cars, scale models can allow you to build stuff that might not be feasible in real life. Take this scale Evo X for example, which has been outfitted with the front end (and rear end) from a Golf 5 GTI. This custom creation comes from the same talented builder that did the EK9 Civic I posted a few months ago.
If someone were to build this in real life it would spark plenty of heated "discussion". Is the same true for its scale counterpart?

Let's jump right into the second part of my look at Mitsubishi Owner's Day 2011. This black Evo X dropped on orange TEs is fine way to kick off the conclusion of my coverage....

With all due respect to Mitsubishi fans, they have always seemed a little low on brand pride. Sure the Evolution is one of the all-time greats when it comes to performance cars, but it never seemed that Mitsubishi generated the same sort of excitement among its owners that other brands did. After taking a trip to Mitsubishi Owner's Day on Saturday, I found out I was very wrong....

After I got an email from ‘Maus' the head honcho at the Streetgasm club in Holland I arranged a meeting to see what they had to offer. Maus now drives a EVO X after he sold this EVO VI to a good friend of his. I'll have a feature on the X later on but first I'll feature this EVO VI that belongs to Tom. While searching for a cool spot to shoot the car we started in an underground parking garage, but the lighting was terrible so we quickly went looking for another spot. In the end...

It has been a while since we had an EVO in the limelight. But we are in luck because I have a shoot with two EVOs coming up; in the mean time I can show you this EVO built by the guys at SVA Imports . I was attracted to the car by its immense rumble that it had while in idle. The car was waiting in the pits at the Zandvoort Circuit during the Japanese Car Festival . It was like it screamed ‘get over here' just like Scorpion in Mortal Kombat. While I was standing right next to it my entire...

Here we go with part two of my coverage of the Japanese Car Festival at Circuit Park Zandvoort. The R33 Skyline owners were out in full force. The cars ranged from the GTS version to the top of the line GT-R model. This very wide 350Z belonged to Tim Coronel, the twin brother of Tom Coronel who races in the WTCC. Tim used the car later in the day for a drift demonstration. A completely different 350Z was this version built by Fullcartuning. To fill the grid of the Time Attack, the organizers invited...

I couldn't help myself but to take a closer look at the Precision Racing EVO IX on Wednesday. The last time I saw this EVO it looked not nearly as crazy as what it does now. As I've chosen to do a spotlight on the car I've tried to gain as much information as possible and failed. I spoke to Paul Ruzic, the event organiser and he mentioned that the car is kept very quiet, apparently the team is trying to top Australia's fastest EVO. Taking a look inside the cabin, it looks like serious...

Mike Bradley is no stranger to drag racing, and he has been a keen fan of the triple diamond brand from the start. Cutting his teeth in his 4WD EVO 2 ‘LTZPLA’ he got the drag racing bug bad, but despite a powerful engine package Mike never really had much success in the EVO2. Mike was smart enough to see the light and quickly realized that 4WD drag racing was never going to get him the sort of times he wanted....

Hamish from New Zealand sent us this photo of his Mitsubishi Libero GT.
To be honest, I wasn't too familiar with the Libero, but as you can see Hamish has essentially turned his into the early Evo Wagon that Mitsubishi never built.
Awesome car and awesome backdrop. Thanks for the photo Hamish!

The Mitsubishi Lancer Register is one of the biggest and most active forums in Europe. They host several trackdays a year, one of them was on the 30th of May this year on the circuit of Spa Francorchamps. This vid was made by the guys behind RPMonline.
Enjoy.

We've featured our fair share of EVOs on Speedhunters and I personally never get tired of seeing them. In standard trim, they can look pretty aggressive but when built up as a Time Attack competition machine, there's even more potential for pure fearsomeness. We all know the Sierra Sierra and Cyber EVOs but now there's a new kid on the block from Redbrick Racing in the UK. Let's have a quick look. Last year they ran the car in a different spec, but Red Brick wanted to be more competitive...

Tarzan has done it again, the time of the Cyber Evo/Garage HRS has come down to an astonishingly impressive 1:30.587. The pressure is on for the other teams and we just heard the Sierra Sierra Evo has blown a head gasket so they are now trying to get fixed before the next session in the afternoon. -Dino Dalle Carbonare

One of the main reasons I attended the Tuning World Bodensee event was to meet up with Bene Janssen from Japo Motorsport . I had been talking with him through email and he was the one that invited me to come to the show. You may remember his replica Z-tune R34 . Well let me tell that when you are confronted with that machine in the flesh it just blows you away. But Bene had some more surprises for me in store, like this EVO IX GSR in full Time Attack mode. This R34 is Bene's personal ride that...

By now you've probably heard about the the record-setting 228 MPH run of the AMS Evo at the Texas Mile.
Here's a new video clip released by AMS today documenting the feat...

I've been shooting time attack events in California for a while now, and at each event I always find myself gravitating towards the cars built by Evasive Motorsports. Part of it is the fact they are usually at the top of their class, but another was their perfect resemblance to the Japanese time attack cars we love.
Needless to say, when Evasive main man Mike Chang asked me to come out and have a look at the shop, I couldn't turn him down....

I have been following the Battle Evome series for a long time, so it was cool to see that our own Speedhunter in Japan, Dino, was able to catch a glimpse of the series with his latest feature. The cars keep getting better and better so I want to share the three fastest vehicles that raced last Sunday here. I think most of you are familiar with these cars.... First up, the Arios Okuyama RX-7. They came in at 1'00.035 making them the third fastest of the day. Not at all bad when you consider that...
