Nissan GTR vs Mitsubishi EVO FQ 400 - Fifth Gear

In this classic Fifth Gear clip these two Japanese super cars are going head to head to see which is best, first is an autotest and the second a 2 lap race!

2:13 I hate how nobody's mentioning how that was one of the best J turns I've ever seen in my life with that Evo. I rewatched it 5 times I was that impressed lol.

[HEXONE]

Evos will always have the number one stop in my heart... They are just beautiful..

[missionwong]

I'd take the Evo over the GT-R, even though I love the GT-R, the Evo takes corners a bit quicker, and the 4b11 motor is just amazing allowing a two liter engine to hold 1000+hp without spinning all the way down the road

[MADrgn]

He fucked up a gear shift... In a automatic... Well that's new.

Very nice! However, the Evo is NOT a supercar. It's just a 4door saloon that happens to go really fast.

GT-R $200, 000
EVO X $70, 000

I don't care about being the fastest on the roads, since your not suppose to drive like a nut and cause accidents anyway.  The Evo is by far fast enough for me and is much better looking IMO.  I'll take the Evo. Besides why would anyone compare a car that costs over 100k with a vehicle that costs over 30k. If the GT-R lost the race, that would be pretty pitiful.

The EVO never was a supercar. It was the underdog but this FQ400 is set up quite badly.

[amapolishplummer]

I know the Nissan is the much better car and everything but the Evo FQ-400 just looks so fucking badass.

It would be a hard decision for me.

[lukekindred]

Whys everyone sitting here moaning about the price difference and 'oh its an evo why compare it to a gtr'. That's one of the evos biggest selling points. The fact that it can outperform many machines costing 2 or 3 times what it does is staggering

It's hard to believe EVO X was launched in market in 2007.
She is still more beautify than other sports cars launched in these years, even in 2020!

[DucksDontPuck]

Two of my favourite cars in one video :)

[bactablack]

Don't know why, but I'd prefer the Evo...

[scrolex]

I am a fanboy of both cars but I think he didn't know how to drive the evo. I have seen Clarkson do better. But today's GTR is a beast. 

[MannyFreshx]

That evo is beautiful.. can't believe I said that about a X.

[Motorsportsinjapan]

The Evo raped the GTR on the first test, it's just a case of each car in it's element. The Evo is better in the tight stuff and in poor conditions, and the GTR is faster on good tarmac when it can stretch it's legs. Yeah the GTR is only 8k pound more than the Evo, but maintenance cost are killer by comparison. Always interesting to compare, but really they are different animals. Both are really great cars :)

[skirmich]

@0:38 Holy shit if the EVO had the power to back up those looks.... It looks so much better than the GT-R and the GT-R looks good to begin with, that's hard to beat.

[phareztrinimand]

good race now let us take it off road :)

[idigitalclic]

You can tell they are in real life true friends, because of the look that was given after comparing track slalom speed times. Priceless.
