A few weeks back we had the pleasure of hosting Speedhunters at Monticello Motor Club – they came by to do a “Dream Drive” feature with 311RS #01. Save for the cheesy name, the Dream Drive features are pretty cool. They actually get behind the wheel of the car and do an in-depth review. Their […]

Last week we took 311RS #01 to Monticello Motor Club for it’s maiden voyage on track. This was our first track time in a production unit, big day for 311RS! We’ve been tweaking, dialing, and fine tuning the setup for these cars since late 2011. After a 60,000 mile development period with our #00 prototype […]

That moment when you open Robb Report and see your first production car featured on a full page.. That’s when you know you’re doing something right. Robb Report was a magazine Ryan grew up reading for inspiration. Not necessarily because we wanted to buy all of the products, but for the feature stories about people who’ve […]

We are excited to announce that we’ve confirmed our allocation for 11 Evo Xs from Mitsubishi and are slated to launch production this September. We’ve built 311RS #01, now it’s full steam ahead with units 2-11. We’re in the process of owner selection and reviewing many inquiries, but there’s still time! If you’re interested in […]

We brought the car to NYC to display it at Classic Car Club Manhattan, yes. But also to deliver the thing! The owner works in NYC, but lives in Connecticut. It made perfect sense logistically to display the car at CCC prior to delivery. I had a weird thought while I was transporting the car […]

An invite to display 311RS #01 in NYC before most of the major Automotive press? Yes please. This was exactly the case after we revealed 311RS #01 in Minneapolis. The car was all over the net, and because of this we were in contact with a lot of people who wanted to see the car […]

My Great Grandmother Marge is so sweet. She’s 88 years old and still comes to support me at events. The 2013 Minneapolis Auto Show was no different. She was there to witness her Great Grandson deliver his first Production car and meet the Owner of the car. She couldn’t help herself, she had to sit […]

On March 11, 2013 we delivered our first 311RS Evo X to it’s owner at the Minneapolis Auto Show. The owner had only previously seen the car in photos, never in person, bought the car sight unseen.. This was a big moment for us! What started out as a random email, was about to turn […]

Minnesota native Ryan Gates and Mitsubishi Motors are set to unveil the first Production 311RS Evolution X on March 11th, 2013 at 2:00pm CST in the Mitsubishi Motors booth at the 40th Annual Minneapolis Auto Show. The 311RS is a turn key, limited production, full developed Evolution X built on the foundation of Ryan Gates’ […]

Too much is never enough. That has never sounded more correct than it does now. When building your own limited production car, it’s nearly impossible to call the thing done. There is always something more you could do. Here’s a look into a few of the details we’ve put into production, in this case on […]
