If you want to impress anyone down at the track power is one way to do it, the other is to have a car that stands out from the crowd and this Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Viii does both. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that the guy that built it runs a pizza restaurant and no he does not use it to deliver either.
The car has a huge 893 HP and offers around 667 lb ft of torque so there you have it, the car has the looks and power, in fact there is enough of each for a couple of cars, but it’s all wrapped up in one nice parcel.
Of course being a true import builder, this car is not finished and in fact as with many projects it probably never will be as there will always be something that needs sorting out or as in this case there are records to break including the eight second barrier.
