Thats actually just the camera car (obviously) and its a company that actually buys cars like the Evos and mods em (I think that one is putting out around 400hp) to use during chase scenes, so they know the car will keep up with whatever car is going to be filmed. They also have a Mini and a modded Porsche Cayenne Turbo as well. They showed these cars on Street Tuner challenge actually.

They use an evo because it has the ability to out maneuver any car that needs to be filmed. It is painted flat black so you cant see it glare of the cars in the movie. They had a section on speed about this car.

You got to it before me! Yup guys, they use performance cars for chase scenes and the Evo is one of them. They use a mini cooper s with the Cooper works package for tight area chase scenes.

I don't believe he owns it, but he was working closely with them.
