To the people being sad about the Evo, Ben Collins (The Stig) said in his book that the the police was supposed to destroy the car because it was bought by drug money. Instead the gave the car to Top Gear to have some fun with it. One last ride.

British law is fucking weird
Most of the fast driving of the Evo was done by Ben Collins.
destroying that evo hit me right in the feels

Atleast she went out with pride, unlike what its fate was going to be planned for.
So clean

Somewhere right now, there's a Evo fanboy crying hysterically under their bed.
And somewhere else there's an Impreza fanboy giggling with Excitement.
I drive an STi and feel bad about the Evo getting destroyed even if it was a crime car.
I like subies too but feel really bad for that evo
I just watched this episode and cried the whole time. =(
What did the Evo do.... it was the drug dealers fault not the car lol.
Aaron Cordeiro
I do hope you're talking about cars... :D
I'm a Subaru fanboy who drives a WRX--and I feel bad for that Evo too :(
6 stars in gta be like
😂😂😂
and almost ' WASTED '
boi this is 7 stars
I've like doing that while car chasing 😂
This is when you accidentally get too close to the airbase
I'm starting to think this video isn't about the car, but about showing off military equipment
you're a bright one
Yes jeremy has always been a fan off the army he even did a documentary about a Commando Raid in WW2
SGT Norgan And about the PQ17 disaster.
Corey Whitt That's not a bad thing though....well the car getting destroyed is...
One of Jeremy’s relatives actually won a Victoria Cross in WW2
My chest engine hurts :(
mine too
+Usama Urfi I'm sad, Vtec Kicked Out
+Usama Urfi Mine is broken into pieces!
Noooo Rip rvo
Mine blew when that EVO got destroyed
Lol....Best part was when he said ''Good Luck in your Ice cream van'' to that soldier...
Shuvam Chhetri yeah boy 700 hundredth like
Offroad armored ice cream truck with a gun on it
With a gun on top, that is.
Damn the car had only 23,500kms.
@@straightbusta2609 Yes I would know I used to own that exact model car a few years ago, sold it last year for almost double for what I paid.
@@Tomoslb1 damn, I wish my country had lancer Evos, looks like by the time I'm able to leave my country they are all gonna be out of reach classics
@@straightbusta2609 I bought it in 2016 and sold it last year, it had underbody rust issues but the guy who I sold it to didn't care. He was looking for a track car and so he didn't worry since it'll prepped for racing. Kind of cool to see the car I spent a decent amount of money on to get it running perfect now surviving it's final days a race car.
@@Tomoslb1 Well if it's gonna be used as a race car does that mean it's gonna be driven hard? Good then, someone's using it properly then
That drug dealer has a good taste of cars
Confiscated for dealing in cannabis..... most likely. :'(
*Condom man
@@carlsagan2371 which is a drug
for those that dont know and are upset about why the car got smashed, it had to be. It was under court orders as it was seized from a drug dealer, so they figured either they leave it to a crusher or destroy it in a manner that entertains everyone
Source?
@@Donts_blackwell British law. Unlike US, when criminal assets are seized they are to be destroyed rather than sold.
@@System0Error0Message The idea behind this is there is less motivation for the police to seize assets through easily forged crimes for monetary gain.
@@System0Error0Messagehere in the Philippines....we literally just crush cars with road rollers or excavators.....in cars I mean Porsche 911, Lamborghinis, everything
@@symphinitystugiii3476 waste of money.
Today, we all would like to pray for are fallen comrade.
R.I.P. Lancer Evolution
NOOOOO, NOT THE EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes the Evo >:D
>:D
love to see this
I will buy this car soon lel 2fst4u
+MrSwordFish SourCandyIDK there's like 500 Millon more lancer evolutions out there
man im more excited about that tank that just deployed a massive bridge within seconds
+HYITHOi know right, what a machine
MR-MONTY yeah! pretty cool stuff
HYITHO the army really does have everything coverd, EVERYTHING
+MR-MONTY there was even an experimental Russian tank that was supposed to be capable of surviving a nuclear blast and the following fallout to continue fighting
MrSwordFish SourCandyIDK why would you need that all your enemeys would be microwaved
why destroy the evo????? =(
nah bruh
rip evo will always be remembered as a hero
it's an illegally moded evo that was used to smuggle contraband. And cars like that are sent to be destroyed either way. They talked about it during the show.
oh, but why even take the evo that criminal way??? =((((
+Dovydas Daunoravicius I love how they destroy cars that have been involved in criminal activity it's like take it to court I sentence you to life hahaha
"Because it's part tank part bulldozer, it's the king of wherever it damn-well wants to go"
This line gets me every time
Epic!
This could have been the greatest Evo advertisement ever
There is a reason why Top Gear always uses Evo for their challenges...king of off-road.
Now you gotta use those tanks to fight off the angry Evo fanboys.
ur missin the point..??? for some1 out there to destroyed a or any beautiful piece of a performance machine just for the hell of it like that ......its very disrespectful to the eyes of a real car enthusiastic ......!!! but i dont expect a guy wit NAMEs like... smileyLEGO to understand......
VAS THUM
Just take comfort in the fact that it was one of the proper WRC rally cars.
....???
VAS THUM
It could've been one of the WRC Lancer rally cars.
Luckily it was just one of those aftermarket jobs.
BTW. It meant to say "Just take comfort in the fact that it wasn't one of the proper WRC rally cars."
VAS THUM If someone were to do the same thing with a Morris Marina it wouldn't be ok.
1:33 "Best of luck with your ice cream van with a gun on it"
This video made me cry
I love evo :"(
says the black dude
Tyler McClain says the racist dude
That's not racist^
plysqwmack e GalacktGamer ^Stop using the politician's false claimed "racist" definition to win arguments
me too.
It's painful to watch an Evo get destroyed like that. :( (@7:13 I can't watch)
Agree mate! SCREW THOSE RICH ASSHOLES :(
Jared Moore y
Rip Evo :(
@@yapnop2 This car was supposed to be destroyed. It belonged to a drug dealer that illegally acquired the car. But it is painful to watch this anyway.
@@alpenstarss could'nt they had auctioned the car off then
I felt the pain deep in my heart, and Im actually a Subaru guy since eternity... Rest in peace my old friend Evo, you didnt deserve this.
Im sorry but what the is the logic behind the government destroying the car of a criminal? It was him who did the crime, not the car
and that EVO can be put into auction and bought by someone who will cherish the car
although I will admit this is one of the coolest things Top Gear has done
Interceptor810 top gear buys most the vehicles it destroys from police auctions of seized criminal assets just like the rest of the bbc.
yeah, the car is now going to waste, sell it and give the money to a childern hospital or something like that, i'dd 4000 pounds that car, but no, just scrap it
+Interceptor810 Yeh true it is very pointless and a waste of a good EVO. Suppose the Judge's argument is that the car was bought with drug money so it has to be destroyed.
oh noooooooo!!!!
what did the car do??!!!
why the car!!!!!!
noooooo
I agree with you 100 %
It's been this long and I'm STILL pissed they destroyed that Evo. It barely even had a few thousand miles on the clock, it was almost brand new.
When Apocalypse comes you better have a Evo.
Or a trojan..
"This is Top Gear, we don't mess about."
Oh haha! Good one Jeremy :)

I'm sure that a lot of evo fanboys are upset about the evo getting destroyed but it's worth mentioning that this evo probably was never intended to be run on the road ever again and most likely impounded and destroyed. I'm sure there's plenty more on the road that you CAN buy.
I think I read somewhere that the evo used in this show had it's airbags removed, to be honest it sounds like it was used by a drug dealer, which wouldn't surprise me because dealers love evos. If that's the case then it was probably already sentenced to death before this show.
Aphev It's not for sale, it's likely an impounded car that was used in evidence.
Put it this way, it was sentenced to be crushed way before top gear got a hold of it, if anything they did it a favour by driving it for one last time.
It was a drug dealers car the police took it of them because they got it from the money they got from selling drugs
he did say earlier in when he found the condoms that the airbags were disconnected
That car just cruises over the rough terrain like it's nothing. Pretty damn cool machine, even when compared to tanks and armoured vehicles it's still impressive. I want one. Shame they cost so much...
Sell cocaine like the drug dealer did. Youl be able too afford one in no time !
Just drive it better than whoever was driving this one when the police chase you 😂
i cant believe they wrecked that evo
EnglandForEver ya to say the truth i didn't, but even though i could have chosen to wreck a normal lancer and keep this one.....
rami9941 just sayin breaks my heart to see cars like that getting smashed
@Ken Norcott he is lmao
6:57 "What I am doing is genius"
Spoke too soon.
Dude y destroy the evo? It's like killing a dog :(
Haha I feel you, but if you ever watch the whole full episode it actually belongs to a drug dealer who got arrested. The court wanted his car to be demolish however Top Gear decide to propose and use it in this event :)
but why does it need to be destroyed in the first place? its not like the evo did anything wrong
No. Killing a dog is worse.
AdventureMinerPro // MCPE no its just the same amount of disappointment
Hanif Purbaya but what was wrong with the evo in the first place
I miss this type of top gear though
All the huge tumbles that car took... I never once saw the front bumper separate from the body. Amazing.
are those condoms on the floor at 7:19
I hope so
+Alex Verbov 2 questions!!!
1. Why?
2. How?
Yes
yuppp
Alex Verbov watch the whole video
If the kaiju ever rise out of the pacific rim again, we don't need jaegers, we just need the beaches patrolled by a fleet of trojans.
I feel bad for that EVO and plus that made me cry! ;(
I wish I could have had that car
6:25 "Run Away, Run Away!" lol Monty Python humor there
Challenger tank bridge thingy: [ makes bridge ]
Jeremy: thanks for the bridge mates
Trojan: [ A N G E R Y M I N E N O I S E S ]
Very late but.....
No Jeremys were harmed in the making of the video
That is the coolest evo i've ever seen.
Those military vehicles are far faster than I expected
I think I remember watching this as a young kid, probably one of the first times I watched top gear
Impressive machinery they have. Fantastic bridge builder
I cried at the ending :'(
"Eventually he did put me down." Yes, he put you down like a vet puts down a dog.
Nothing beats this show
Pause at 7:19
Why is there couple of condoms on the floor :D ?
IPIZOR cause he opened them. Did u not see the packages in the beginning of the video?
remind myself that it was not yet a classic car of the time of recording
7:14; literally crushed my heart like a thrash can compactor. Oh! The brutality...
Funnily enough, the Evo was originally going to go into a trash compactor, but it was given to Top Gear instead.
My favorite episode ever
These army challenges should be a video game
It's over Jeremy, we have the high ground
Did anyone noticed that Evo had RalliArt's mud guards? Love that show :)
Why destroy a perfectly fine lancer
😭😭😭
The car was owned by a drug dealer and had illegal modifications on it. It was going to be scrapped anyway.
I wonder if they used the WRC EVO and Tommi Makinen will be the Driver. :)
CLARKSON!
Anyone that heartless who does that to a tuned Evo, especially a 7 that is that beautiful deserves to be Hung, Drawn, and Quartered! (T^T)
AHHHHHHH (O_O)
Oh! I weep for that Evo.
It's not his fault though. The car was on death row, it's owner was an arrested drug dealer, and the thing wasn't street-legal.
Frikgeek Fine, Fine, you are right on that but still ... makes me cry to see such a car resigned to such a sad fate.
niceboy60 It is indeed.
niceboy60 Just watch the whole episode and I won't have to explain shit.
Frikgeek refresh my memory since I haven't seen it in a while, but does it's illegality have something to do with it's engine setup not being street legal? The pop-pop-pop-pop of exhaust is something only race-only Evos make I think ...
"I have just found a packet of THESE in the centre console!"
I just love the fact that the old top gear mainly had facts and meme and now the new op gear is as fun as before
"The previous owner liked to be safe in bed while he disconnected the airbags!" *Does Koo Koo symbol* that bit got me!
I'd love to see what other branch of Mitsubishi group would think of this
(Yes, they do defence contracts)
D: poor evo >.< I can't see it :S
lay down, try not cry...
cry a lot...
that last few seconds made me tear a bit .
I'm crying the evo is my favorite car
5:10 - 5:16 is such an epic shot.
lol went the claw grabs the evo, the claw's at the bottom of the window but as they cut to the exterior, it's at the top. Love Top Gear though, car documentation + comedy... pure genius.
fast forward to 2020 where that Evo is now a rare collection .... it so hurts ma heart seeing that 😢☹
i cried in the end
Ever car guy ever just died a little inside watching that Evo get reckt 😭
I’m going 70 mph and he’s right up my trumpet I just lost it laughing 😂😂😂😂
What a creation Genuenly it is unbilivingly incredible. Lancer evo is special for every paul walker lovers. Its a high sporty varient. Very Happy to watch it
he got that wrong, it goes "when in doubt go flat out"
Dam right
Let us together cry Evo fans 😭😭😭😭😭
That Evo getting destroyed was more painful then the fake filming.
A happy Bambi
True, this is one of the cringiest videos I've ever watched.
“Because it’s part tank part bulldozer, it’s the king of...well wherever it damn well chooses to go”
poor evo :(
Kristjan Hočevar so true 😪
Holy crap, the Trojan really would be a machine you won’t wanna mess with
@ammar israr thats what i thaught the trojan looks like its a machine you clearly dont want to be on the wrong side of or simply its one brute of a looking machine you dont want to piss off
Fun fact. A C.R.O.W.S system(mounted video gun turret on the hmvvw) is 3million $ in the us. But ours has night vision and thermal
RIP That evo. It had low mileage and it was an RS model....
1:36 Trojan Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers
That the evo 7!! My favorite...
That hit me right in my heart
I own an evo 7. This video makes me cry
Even top gear shouldn't be allowed to wreck an evo!
i found it a bit stupid that they basically claimed he would be shot at with live rounds
i mean everyone knows they wont be doing that while someone is in the car
That military vehicle has a diesel engine and a petrol tank ? Good Work Jezza, living up to the code.
Best military recruitment video + foreign affairs scare ever
7:19 and tell me what you think you're seeing
Good catch !
A car getting destroyed.
The lancer evolution legend JDM car for me
The British builtarmoured foxhound is amazing!
The craigslist add goes like this! Like new always stored in garage never been in dirt and never had to fix anything! Cal or text now!
my heart really2 when they chopped down the evo
really hurt
So what would have they lost if they gave this Evo to me and said that it was caught and bla bla, i would have got my dreams and nothing changed for them :(
Thats what im saying
old but gold
Now THIS, is what I call Deja vu.
It hurts at the end :'(
2:27 "I just found a packed of these in the centre console... so the previous owner then, he likes to be safe in bed... But he disconnected his airbag" (the guy must be crazy)
RIP Evo.
but god damn this was pure action and I love it so much
"I'm starting to think I might not win this"
After parking and getting out to see what the army was doing.
