During last year's World Time Attack Challenge I bumped into Andrew Brilliant, a well known aerodynamicist from Yokohama, Japan. Andrew has developed aero for not only high profile time attack cars, but also for Super GT, GRAND-AM Rolex and American Le Mans. One of his recent projects caught our attention: this impressive, all-carbon bodied Evo known as Nemo. ...

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...

It is supposed to be summer in Holland right now but when I look out of my window all I see is rain. So that means the perfect time to work on this story. On the day I shot the Streetgasm EVO VI I also had some quality time with this EVO X. We met up at the owner's house and talked about photoshoot locations. He just moved there so he didn't really have time to scout the area for possible locations. Once we headed out we quickly found this small church with a lot of room in front of it. The...

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....

Whilst attending the first round of the UK Time Attack Series last month, I made a long overdue stop off at the home of Roger Clark Motorsport. Most of you will be familiar with the name Roger Clark and the illustrious history that is associated with it. Founded by Roger himself in 1991, Roger Clark Motorsport is based in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom. Their competition experience has lead to them becoming one of the most recognised tuning companies in the United Kingdom. To call them just...

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...

Time attack competitor, Ryan Gates, took the time to tell us about his experience at the Texas Mile with his driver blog and now Cinesthetics has released a film of his record setting run with his AMS Performance built, 750whp, Evo X. As you can see in the video, he was at the top of fifth at 180mph for the last quarter mile because of the dog box transmission! Nonetheless, the Gates311 Evo is now the fastest Evo X in the America.

Each year when the coverage of the Texas Mile shows up online, I enjoy it but I never think too much of it. Sure, it was cool to see which cars went the fastest, which ones used the most tape and who flipped, but it’s something you have to run to truly appreciate. And it turns out the Texas Mile is the ultimate testbed for a fresh rebuild.... Linhbergh was on point with his camera as we arrive a little late.... One thing about Texas Mile was that we had to work around was the waiting time between...

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...

A few of you mentioned that I forgot the Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 when I did my station wagon retrospective yesterday.
It just so happens that Cameron from Sunshine Coast, Australia sent us this great photo of his Legnum. He's out fitted the twin turbo V6 wagon with a Vouge aero kit, Ganador mirrors, Recaro Seats, A Greddy FMIC, and Enkei wheels just to name a few things.
Just another one of those great hot rod wagons from Japan.

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 Galant may not be the most obvious choice to start with and definitely not the most beautiful car (I might offend a few people with that last statement.) But this car is not so much about the outside but more about what is underneath it's outer shell, so I'll concentrate on that. The chute and Hoosier tires are a sure sign that this car has been built with only one purpose in mind. It is drag month after all ... The amazing clean engine bay is filled with top notch parts and...

Following the somewhat anti-climatic end to the rally car competition at X Games 16, all of us were looking forward to the debut of the SuperRally event.
With four drivers running wheel to wheel around the track, everyone hoped this new event would bring some much needed excitement to the day....

Continuing on with my look at the rally competition from X Games 16, we move on to elimination action on Saturday afternoon.
As we'd soon find out, the biggest hurdle for the drivers wouldn't be their fellow competitors, but the course itself. ...

Well, another year of X Games competition is in the books and as I write this, guys are probably hard at work removing all of that dirt from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Hey, how do they do that anyway?
As you might have heard, there have been mixed reactions to this year's rally competition, but we'll get into that later. For now, here's some of the action from practice on Friday....

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...
