I'm not sure what to think about that. I mean obviously the bullet holes are real, but if they were really firing live ammo the entire time they could have easily accidently killed him.

It was a trick with the editing. They obviously couldn't shoot live ammo at the car when clarkson was in it. It was kinda painful to watch, but at least that evo went out with a bang instead of being crushed.

It called an overlay. All you need is a tripod and 2 seperate shots from the same angle. One of the oldest trick in the books my friends.

Kinda sucks that it gives the rep that evo owners are all drug dealers... no wonder cops target these cars :-(

it would have been a much better watch if it was a comparison between two cars.

And why do they even pretend they're really shooting at him or that he was in the car at the end??? It's insulting they think their views are that dumb.

Seriously?

How in any way did this video insinuate that all Evo owners are drug dealers? A drug dealer in the United Kingdom happens to drive a modded Evo VII and suddenly every Evo owner on Earth is being profiled as a drug dealer? Hell, he probably sold drugs to fund his obsession with the car.

This show isn't even filmed in the United States. I can guarantee you that the reason you are being targeted is not Top Gears fault.

Sad?...of course yes. But it's even more sad for us in the United States where Evo VII's are much rarer than in the UK. All the same, as any sought after car is demolished for the sake of entertainment. Poor Evo haha damn you Clarkson!

Depressing for sure. At least in the US, these cars get sold at auction. Would have saved this poor car from that fate.
