It's in Dubai, apparently. There's a video of it on Youtube during a post-assembly test drive, smoking the rear tires quite easily. It was posted in the video description that the builders are currently working out a way to integrate AWD with the LS1....freaking insane.
Predictably, the comments were full of typical "OMG displacement is the devil! a 4 cylinder EVO would be faster 'cuz it's high tech!" bullshit.

#1, Well I imagine all the diff maps went to shit together with the original engine ECU, so making it handle properly again will be quite a feat.
Also, they'd need a AWD gearbox to fit that V8... some sort of independent suspension SUV box'?

Waste of an Evo, but it is nonetheless great, especially if they find a way to incorporate the AWD. They could have just done this to a base model lancer, I'm sure they have a driveshaft tunnel.

I'd also like to point out the device on the driver's side of the engine bay. It appears that it is not just a V8, it also has a centrifugal supercharger.

#2, It might incorporate some sort of transfer case, similar to what the GMC Syclone used.

#7, To double the trouble, stock Evo has a transverse (sp?) engine and gearbox layout.

#8, This car already has a LS1 and a 4L60E (I think) in place of that, though. It would just be a matter of trying to find an AWD transfer case that would work with the GM gearbox....the Borg Warner unit out of a GMC Syclone or Typhoon might work.

why not use a 4L80E and Transfer case unit out of a trailblazer SS
also instead of ripping stuff off a syclone, they could get the same transfer case from an astro AWD

#10, Well, there you go.
BTW, I don't think they're actually using stuff out of a Syclone, I was just using that as an example of a possible donor vehicle.
