The Evolution featured in the advertisement was entirely recreated – using CGI, animation and live action techniques – with incredible accuracy. The sound for the advertisement was done by Best FX, and all the elements combined result in a photo-real experience that completely embodies the spirit of the Lancer Evolution and its rally-bred heritage.

Here's the tale of the tape — how GM's Bob Lutz and his Cadillac CTS-V matches up to me in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR heading into tomorrow's Jalopnik Vs GM race at Monticello Motor Club .

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of our favorite high-performance cars here at egmCarTech. It’s always mind-boggling to wonder how Mitsubishi engineers managed to squeeze out almost 300-hp from a small 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.
