Two absolutely gnarly-sounding rally replicas took to a back lot in Spokane, WA to settle the score: who can get more sideways? We think there's a clear winner, but it has nothing to do with slip angle. More »

A mixture of snow and black-ice caused major accidents across the Mid-Atlantic yesterday, including a 30-car pileup in West Virginia. This dramatic video from a GoPro-enabled Mitsubushi Evo driver shows exactly how this accident (and accidents like it) happen. Warning! Completely-understandable NSFW language inside. More »

One would think that a 400 hp Mitsubishi Evo IX would have little competition when pulling away from a traffic light. Certainly not the kind of competition that leaves it standing like a sloth observing a Saturn V. Yet that is exactly the kind of competition offered by a certain rear-wheel drive GT-R in this video, shot from the Evo. More »

Ever since a little story evo's Chris Harris wrote for us — you know, the one about "How Ferrari Spins" — he's been banned from test driving Ferraris. That didn't stop him from getting into a Ferrari FF to test it out for the British buff book's "2011 Car of the Year" award. More »

Owning a Pagani Zonda may be a pain when it comes to paying insurance or removing caked road salt from its intricate carbon fiber nooks, but it has its upsides, like doing 200 mph with the grace of a gazelle on drugs. That, and getting invited to Pagani owners’ events to hitch a ride at insane speeds in the new Huayra on the twisty public roads of Sardinia with Horacio Pagani, who’s totally cool in a polo shirt and shorts.

Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution Facebook page has a photo teasing a concept to be revealed Friday by asking if it's "the next Evo." It's called the "AF-J" — as in "April Fools' Joke." Hey, Mitsubishi, it's not funny to joke about things you've killed. More »

Because apparently the existing FQ360 wasn't F-ing Quick enough, the report from AutoExpress is that Mitsubishi has now greenlit an FQ400 version of the Lancer Evo X. We didn't have much of a chance to open up the taps when we drove the 291 HP 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR, but seeing as the FQ400 name indicates output of 400 HP, we can only imagine how much faster it'll be than what we have in the states. That's right, the FQ isn't coming here, as it'll be tuned in the UK, where it will likely receive an upgraded turbocharger, exhaust, engine computer and fuel system. The results will be stunning.

The Nissan GT-R, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Studebaker hot rod, disfigured Bentley Continental GT, and lifted Toyota Tundra you see here are the five cars Toyo Tires will be bringing to the upcoming 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. But what's the one thing they all have in common—besides wearing Toyo rubber? They're all ridiculous caricatures! Well, the 1931 Studebaker Model 54 hot rod might not be so bad, but if the rendering pictured is accurate, its non-existent ride height means it's nothing but a trailer queen. The most subtly tuned of the rest is the Nissan GT-R, which sports some carbon-fiber body parts, an Amuse titanium exhaust and Endless six-piston brakes. The rest of the bunch are a bit more radical.
