  • what's the "kooennoennioeggoe..." on the board? koenigsegg?

  • Mitsubishi should fitted twin turbo instead of single turbo to make it more aggresive.... but i guess it will make the fuel consumption become half as what is it now lol...

    And for you who's whining about how Jeremy drive, try fitting the same turbo for that Fiat Stillo and see what happens..

  • 0:01 - 0:07...Is that Chris Evans? XD

  • Shouldve been down a gear for that turbo lag segment, wouldve helped a bit.

  • The evo still looks like a shopping trolley

  • The Lambo will pull you a sexy chick ,but the Evo ...well you will be just pulling yourself lol

  • @Ladyboy69er The lambo will only pull chicks that pull on your wallet

  • @stupidlambo so what , dont they all?

  • @Ladyboy69er 100% not true.. both cars will pull you a sexy chick, specially if you have a suped up evo ... girls like fast cars dont matter wat the name is

  • @AMRsti93 the Evo looks like a corolla with a garish cheap body kit lol

  • 4 miles to the gallon? How many liters per 100km is that? Countries that make decent cars don't do gallons.

  • @DrHeinersSanatorium About 50 by my rough calculations

  • @xNajda 50? That's like a hummer! Hahahahaha! Better buy a Ferrari or Porsche Carrera instead, for economy reasons. (plus all the obvious reasons) :D

  • he is true arangutang! shift down gear and there no lag! daaa. bbc shud change that old cunt

  • kooennoennioggoennnisssoeuggoo­ueen!

  • @adamz1111 you misspelled the name... its actually has 13 more consonants and 5 vowels.

  • wtf is kooennoennioeggoennnisssoeuggo­oueen

  • @xNajda Koenigsegg CCX most likely, i cant even pronounce it

  • It is always easier to blame the car Jeremy...

  • 4mpg ?!! did i hear that right ?? thats like a trip to the gas station and back

  • @shaochiavang You did hear it right, i believe it did about 3.6 mpg, they mentioned it again in another episode. I dont know where you're supposed to drive with a range like that.

  • lets get a jet and race a cow in the mud idiot

  • no one who knows how to drive is gonna keep it in sixth gear

  • derp a derp im a stahl car derp derp im a derp some more -________- da fuck bro that car isn't hard to drive its all timing -_____-

  • @Yummyqt dude, that is jeremy clarkson, i think he knows what he's doing.

  • 4 miles!! thats the worst mileage iv ever heard

  • @opg4 Ya but that's when your trashing it round a track mate not on your daily commute :P

  • there's this thing called brake boosting dumbshit

  • Mentira

    el Mitsubishi va mejor delo presentado!!

  • Dude GTFO out of here, this guy can go suck a cock

  • this evo it has bigger turbo than normal evo with 300hp with it is more practikal the other evo it is only for races and yes it is slow if it has long geae but the clutch is not so bad, and finally what we we talking about this car cost 40000 euro and less now and beats 300000 euro of lambo and others supercars

  • Lol what the hell are people talking about here? "Learn to drive a turbo car" "Learn to drive" you idiots realize hes driven a far wider range of cars then you guys will ever drive. He knows how to drive, hes driven cars with bigger turbos, high horsepower then a evo 8. He is a making a point, you have to literally keep the car in mid-high rpm just to get the power. If you are out of the range there is little power. That's his point turds.

  • @pdavid24 1:38 forward to prove your point for those who didnt listen

  • "....And I hate the stereo as well ! Look at it ! Stupid flashing light ! What's that all about ?"

    LOL

  • Thats fake when you push down ,the car would sound alot louder if foot was plante on ground

  • omfg you faggots complaining about the experiment? it is a ekseriment about the TURBO LAG! he isnt mentioning anything a´bout it is usefull in the everyday life? stop complaining faggots...

  • Does it honestly only go 4 miles ? And the other facts are they true or exagerated? Was thinking of getting this......

  • He was simply demonstrating the downside to having a small engine with a massive turbo. Most modern engines already have a pretty topheavy torque curve, but in this case it's taken to quite an extreme. You absolutely have to rev this engine high to make it move. Some people don't mind that and that's fine, but it was a relevant thing to demonstrate.

    Now if the 2 cars weren't cruising at similar revs then I'd say it was unfair.

  • @yorgle11 i believe cars like this have turbos with changing geometry nowadays so it gives much less lag on lower revs.

  • learn how to drive turbo before talking shit...smh

  • learn how to drive a turbo charged engine dude... pls... ur making no point... turbo lag bullshit...

  • i like the Stig's taste of music :)

  • modpunkoi's mad hahaha

  • Kooenoennioeeggoennissseoggeen­snig :D

  • The Evolution 8 to me is worse to me then the 7. I personally like only Evo 9 and 10, my dad owns a 2008 Lancer GTS and every single time i look at it from any angle I fall in love :)))

  • this pissed me off.. I am not as much of a fan of Top Gear anymore. How can you call the EVO 10 the best car ever and then insult the EVO8 like this? ...

  • track it on a rainy day, and still beat the lambo time.

  • I love Top Gear like any other Top Gear fan, but they pass off a lot of biased shenanigans as legitimate cons of a car. Not cool.

  • never saw a lambo

  • @jowen034 It was on part 1.

  • how can you compare an evo and a lamborghini? evo is made for rally, Lamborghini for style. Seriously.. They're both winners at what they're made for.

  • thats y is a turbo engie hay asshole

  • with all respect i think mitsubishi is paying you to make it look good

  • if you ignore the stupid turbo lag demonstration

    he makes alot of points with maintaining it

  • feeble attempt to discredit other country's superior technology at car technology/manufacturing. But if it makes u feel any better, why not i guess.

  • which idiot starts at gear 6 at 30miles per hours -.-""

  • "You have to be on the right gear in the right time" No shit Sherlock, that goes for any car. You can't handle 30mph in 6th gear, let alone expect performance. This guy is a fucking joke sometimes.

  • Why would you try to accelerate at 30 mph in 6th gear any way? that does not mean there is anything wrong with the car if it goes slow,I mean you ARE in the wrong gear. And by the way at 1:51 it dosent look like you ran out of run way

  • he knows how to drive you guys he's just proving a point, that unless your in the exact gear at the exact right time the car is next to useless. if your in 4th and you should be in 3rd for instance, your hooped.

  • So, a fiat stilo is faster than a lambo

  • silly

  • jeremy is a wanka

  • dude can't drive.....just downshift and the other car would eat dust....!

  • It's absolutely not about the TURBO LAG. That problem is just because the flywheel of the Mitsubishi is much much lighter than the Stilo's one. And when it's lighter you slowdown faster, it's just because the lightweight flywheel can't keep kinetic energy in it.

    So, why does the Stilo has a heavy flywheel ?

    It's just because, when you decelerate you decelerate SLOWER, than a car with a lightweight flywheel. Top Gear is great, but MOST of the time, their comments about technical stuff ARE WRONG!

  • he such an idiot englishman

  • I Want To See EVOLUTION IX MR On Top Gear!!! I Bet It Has Better Numbers Than The VIII

  • look at it stupid flashing lights lol ! :-)

  • im a p plater and i can drive evos better than them

  • Lamborghini is just the best <3

  • The fiat did the right thing, changed gears at the right time. You just put it in 6th and waited for the speed to get high enough for the turbo to kick in.

  • this car as a great design

    

  • Dude, what? How does flooring it in 6th going thirty prove any point? Downshift? Of course its going to lag.

  • @modpunkoi In a V8 you wouldnt have to downshift ;)

  • @modpunkoi Worthless test indeed, just like his complaint about the clutch...the car was engineered and built for those of us that know how to properly drive. I've never stalled once in my X and a buddy of mine has never once complained about the clutch on his VIII.

  • @modpunkoi Have to agree. Unless you're a frickin taxi driver with a mondeo, you'll never be going at 30 in 5th or 6th gear. Pointless experiment...

  • @modpunkoi thats exactly the point. he said if ur in the wrong gear, the turbo doesnt work at all.

  • @ryankalla94 That I have to agreed.

  • @modpunkoi I know, I really don't get why people don't understand you need to work the gears to get the most out of the engine... A couple of my friends who drive are like that as well, just don't understand why nothing happens when they put their foot down in 5th or 6th

  • @modpunkoi it was a joke

  • @modpunkoi "unless you're in the right gear at the right time, you have no performance at all" - 1:39, i think he's aware of that.

  • chick at 3:17 pwoaahhh fine example of british glamour

  • 1:24.8? Really? Faked lap time. No way this ugly ass riced evo can be even close to the gt40

  • @sarconista nope.... american cars suck

  • I really would like to buy an evo 8 or X but unfortunately in méxico we dont count whit those kind of cars :( anyone knows how can i get one form here? :(

  • MITSUSTIGI :D

  • i usually like jeremy, smart guy, but damnit, downshift

  • put the right setting on and put it in the right gear ... duah

  • ask yourself "which car would I rather have, a Lamborghini Murcielago or a Mitsubishi Evo?"...nuff said

    

  • Comment removed

  • @czechers26

    the evo.

  • the evo is an excellent car

  • Evo hahaha lol!!!

  • is that a evo8 or 9?

  • On part 1 I was like. .yeah this car is for me...

    and here in Part 2.. I am like .. Hey wait a min.. its shit!

    and in the end.. I was .. 400hp and 45,000 pounds.. and bad.. definitely not for me.. but theres the 260hp one that sounds good to me..

  • lol jeremy we have different taste in cars but he knows wht hes talking about

  • what if the radio wasn't on BBC?

  • "you have to servicing every 4500 km...."

    Come on, this evo is just for kids who loves to watch fast and furious and play need for speed...

    A classic overtuned car.

    Fanculo mitsubishi.

  • evo is a damn good car! it turns bloody good!I know someone who has such a evo!

    he is damn happy with the evo `n. He has never complained. those who say it is a bad car, just go to hell

  • lamborghini sucks balls! evo rules

  • my 80 suburban can turn a hell of a lot better than that

  • Stop bitching people. This is why a small engine with a lot of power is not a good idea. And 4 mpg...lol big block v8's get better gas mileage than that.

  • @sergsrt8 if you actually listen, it's on 4mpg on WOT

  • @printeh yea i know, so why do people make the excuse, oh my 4 banger gets better mileage than ur v8. But any engine at WOT will have shitty mileage....lol

  • Well this was a very ignorant test. Had to go to the extremes to prove turbo lag, in a way that no one drives in. Thats kinda why you have lower gears!

  • Im an STI owner and fan. I do respect EVO's though. They made the EVO look like shit even though it isn't. They should learn how to drive

  • @code1017 sexually transmitted infection?

  • @code1017 what did you mean when they made the evo look like shit?

  • @code1017: Dude chill, for a 4 door saloon its brilliant, but they made some fair points (and some stupid points).

    I mean if its a 4 door saloon its obviously mean for taking your kids to school or driving to another town but 4 mpg!!! That is even more impractical than a lambo, and that takes some doing... And if they were such horrible drivers they would not have driven almost as fast as a zonda.

  • @code1017 Try watching the video labeled Part 1..You see this one was to show the bad points of the Evo....Unless you still think they drove it bad in Part one, in which case your just stupid.

  • 2:35 very funny i died laughing!!!

  • Professional drivers couldn't keep the boost up on the turbo? Wow that is sad! They blew this particular show to hell!

  • really? i didn't know you needed to be in the right gear at the right time? i though you could hit Vmax in 1st

  • 1:40

    Well of course you should use the right gear at the right time.. fucking dumbass xD

  • 1:40 "Unless you're in the right gear at the right time you have no performance" Just put in the right gear at the right time then! If you drive poorly you'll be slow in any car!

  • Agreed...if you try to floor it in 6th, you are retarded! Of course you are not going to speed up!

  • Turbo lag is the lag it has when you drive at max torque revs and floor it. It isn't lag if it isnt even going to spin :)

    OKAY?

  • @eamh2002~ u got it wrong.  Like most people, u dont know the difference between "turbo-lag" and "boost-threshold". 2 different things.

  • @eamh2002

    But you cant say it's a lag when it doesnt ever boost up, when revs are kept constant and load is the same, like going uphill or having a very long gear selected :)

    If you do a dyno run with a big turbo and a small gear, the engines torque curve is much higher in revs because the turbo has too much inertia to spool quickly, and hits hard afterwards :p

    My dad's van makes a mad jump if you floor it at 1000-1500rpms in 1st gear, but the pull comes on much smoother at 3rd gear :)

  • be at the right gear stupid antigreek punk.

  • wtf what person expects to go anywhere in 6th and 30mph?

  • and its ugly...

  • Clarkson can't use a clutch, can't select the correct gear, what a twat

  • @bob3006 turbo lag is not just about right gears, cars without twin scroll technology always have a huge lag, even after you shift down you need the turbos to pick up speed, or spool, in other words...

    thats why in a typical rolling start drag race of an NA car against a turbo car, its pretty obvious to see spot the lag..the bigger the turbo the bigger the lag

  • It's an UK model fq320 and ofc it will cost more than it should be. I bought my new evoX last year for $42500 and thats a cheap one for a 2009 model with premium package. I really want the fq400 but it will cost me twice than what i pay. But i believe that the newer models is built to be faster. Such as my 4b11t engine will be more versatile than the older 4g63t engine.

  • How dare he drive an Evo like that?

  • So every evo with 400+ hp wont be a reliable daily driver?

  • thats the point of changing the gear, dumb dumb. 6th gear? seriously?

  • $47,000 pounds.........thats about $80,000 U.S. dollars. With that money, fuck the Evo......GT-R is a sure choice

  • @jaex26 its actually $64,000

  • stupid bias

  • why would you compare the 2

  • Yeah a corvette in top gear @ 30mph would STALL.

    

  • @bill3rdshift Actually, it wouldn't. Clarkson himself did a 0-150mph pull in a Z06 on that runway, all in fifth. Granted, it is a six-speed, but 30 is a lot faster to start at than 0.

  • i had a mitsubishi colt gti 96, at 35, 40 kph on fifth gear it just rises speed a lot faster than this evo.

    actually, i miss the gti, A LOT

  • I love top gear but sometimes i get sick of jeremy because at times he is like its so much faster so much better then he is like it is the worst car ever, put some lipstick on your fourhead and makeup your f...ing mind

  • Whats the time for the, KOOENNOENNIOEGGOENNNISSSOEUGGO­OUEENG, think i spelled that right?

  • lol

  • first..they say this car is the best..blah blah blah..lamborghini calls them and tells them to say shitty things because the evo is better than the lambo..-.-

  • Why would you be going 30mph in 6th and try to floor the throttle?

  • @CRXPhil the only explaination i can think of for a professional racer doing a timed lap and dropping of the boost for that amount of time is intentional sabotage. they clearly recieve backhanders from these other car makers and couldnt let the evo top the chart.

  • @CRXPhil he was demonstrating the turbo lag.

  • @CRXPhil

    he's pointing out that the gear has to be perfect.

  • @CRXPhil cause an ordinary family car like the fiat could do that, a nice acceleration from low speed with its small engine. on the first part he mentioned it's a £50,000 car for a three-children family :D

  • @CRXPhil

    it's a good point he's trying to put over, just badly put!

  • Comment removed

  • @CRXPhil they do it for entertainment sake. Just to bring the downside to every good car.

  • @CRXPhil If you're bored. :3

  • Stupid flashing lights... haha damn europeans and their techno!!!!

  • Evo 8 faster than Ferrari

  • If you drive an Evo like this... you should be shot.

  • @Jamerico00 Evo owner

  • Evo owner

  • @Jamerico00 He who does not drive an Evo like this,shall be shot.As well.

  • 3:32 wow doesnt look like he has a problem with turbo lag.....

  • I want that job...

  • Jeremy your Gauges stayed horizontal for 90% of the drag. That's not turbo lag. That's your bs. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • if your going to race while moving why the hell would you not downshift??

  • the lambo smokes it with the last gear... thats the benefits of a v12 engine car

  • Worse review of the evo ever

  • jeremy clarkson driving sucks.

  • brake boosting a big turbo=turbo lag solution

  • @DSMTD05 brake boosting ftw

  • HHAHAHA OMFG XD 2:39

  • Yeah!!! that Evo cannot beat my Murcielago, NEVER :D

  • People, when he does the race with the evo's turbo lag, He's showing that the turbo will kick in at higher rpm, ( about 8000 rpm) and that it's not meant for lower rpm.

  • @camouflagecamaro99 8000rpm the turbo comes in?! no it doesn't....

    the redline for this car is 7500 to 8000, that means you would NEVER use the turbo...it comes in at probably about 4500 - 5000 rpm.

    He is just being picky about it and looking for things to complain about, its not even a problem you just have to make a better gear choice.

  • @Showtek100 true, and thanks for correcting me. also because it's such a big turbo, It's meant for the track rather than city driving.

  • @camouflagecamaro99 no worries :)....

    yeah the FQ400 is more for high performance driving otherwise like he said it is much better to just get the FQ330 or any of the others for daily driving.

  • dope

    

  • But nobody drives around in 5th gear everywhere, or try and drive fast and powerslide like a raving lunatic

  • This Evo looks better than the latest one.

  • u cheated......fucking assholes!!! a lamborghini is a tier one car and the evo is tier two.....how can u compare it??

  • any idiot knows that turbo lag is present in any car going 30 mph in 6th gear...really?! you think a twin-turbo veyron in sixth gear would just shoot past that fiat?! it might catch it, but i highly doubt turbo lag even in a 1100hp car weighing over two tons would help it much in 6th gear over a mile and a half...

  • @speedcrazy94 veyron has four turbos not twin, you said any car with turbo lag is present at 30mph in 6th gear? ever heard of an NA engine? NA engine has NO lag, even it is in the 8th gear acceleration is immediate even if its slow...plus, you still need the turbo to spool, its not all about right gears...turbos that are too big spoils the crispness of the acceleration, Normally good driver's cars are ones without turbos...

    every car has flaws, evo is great bang for buck..
