Reviews:





I had always tended to lean towards American, my #1 is a Corvette Z06 (or ZR-1)....  But the smaller, and slower British Evora is starting to woo me some!

What say you?

I mean, you can fit more supermodels in it than most super cars - considering this has a backseat  ;D

Lotus is no longer that UK company used to make Esprit V8 twin turbo. It's now owned by Malaysian car manufacturer proton and powered by a 4 cyl toyota engine

Really?

I knew that they worked together, because I saw Proton cars in Egypt powered by Lotus engines, but didn't know they bought them out!

That 4 cilinder toyota engine is way better than the "twin turbo v8". So who cares.

The Evore will be restyled, and the Esprit and Elan, and Elise will have V8s, and diff styling. If you have followed, Lotus introduced 5 new model Concepts that will go into production. The higher output models at the time it was said would carry Lexus V8s (from the IS-F), now Lotus has stated that they wll do their own V8.

What do you think about Hennessey taking one and making it the Venom GT? Which is essentially a long tail Elise with 1200 hp...

A lot of people are comparing the Evora to the 911....

I've never been into Porsche's really!!!  Though if it was ever offered to me for free...

The Evora is another underpowered but great handling Brit coupe aimed at the 911/Cayman market. The other Brit is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage...which has the looks and hp, but is bloated...
Actually it looks better than the DB9, and is a dream car---light blue.

I digress, anyway. The Evora has two miniscule backseats like the 911, but competes with the Cayman in price and HP (currently it makes 276 from the Toyota sourced V6---which is the same in the IS350 and Camry, the IS makes 306, so look to the Evora to make about the same or more).

For what its worth,

When I had my Lotus Esprit Turbo I would easily smoke Corvettes all day long, including the Z06.  I also had light modding, ECM chip, Exhaust, Freescan software etc...   Not only would I blow them away on take off, but in the corners it was Game Over.

This car has superb handling without being stiff like a cart, sure a Ferari has a 50 MpH higher top speed, but when are you ever gonna hit that?
At 75 grand this car is a perfect hobby machine for the racing enthousiast.

C5 Z06 or C6 Z06? Even though the Esprit Turbos were light, that 4 cylinder wasn't the strongest, so were you putting out over 400 or 500, because the C6 Z06 is a beast and track monster.
