How does getbig feel about the LOTUS EVORA?
« on: April 04, 2011, 06:25:36 AM »


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).

911 > everything else
