For whatever reason, the crisp resolution and excellent mounting points offered by GoPros and the like don’t always mean an interesting video. The car can be on fire and spinning sideways off a cliff, but having that camera placed at the wrong angle will still make the experience a little dull.

This is not one of those videos. With a 2.2-liter engine fed by a Borg Warner turbocharger, the surge and torque on display is simply violent. Nearly nine-hundred ponies going through the Holinger six-speed gearbox, even if it’s distributed to all four tires, means a frightening spectacle. It’s even slightly intimidating to view the experience from behind the safety of one’s computer screen.

Tilton’s Evo looks unassuming with just a simple Voltex bodykit, but its engine makes it a bonafide rocket ship.

That’s because that power is spiky and far from progressively delivered, and Tsukuba Circuit is tight, technical, and devoid of runoff area. The Voltex aero package and the Yokohama A050 struggle to get that power to the ground, and Garth Walden – a V8 Supercar driver – seems to have his hands full the entire lap.

It’s got an odd mix of characteristics, though. The Evo does show some great low-speed traction with a safe amount of understeer to keep the car in-line. At higher speeds, notably just before passing under the Dunlop bridge at 5:00, the car shows a bit of understeer, which then blends into several quick snaps through the following left-hander; showing it’s still a lively car at speeds which the aerodynamics really play a role. At Tsukuba, low-speed performance is everything, and that’s why Walden was able to wrangle the beast to such a stunning lap time.
