Lotus Evora

This is a car that I have very much been looking forwards to. There are a few surprises that Lotus introduced that I didn't know about. For instance I had no idea that a car from such a prestigious company such as Lotus that makes some of the best handling cars in the world would have the engine from a Toyota Camry. Yes you read that right. There was a time when the Porsche 944 was powered by a Volkswagon Bus engine but don't quote me on exact model (getting off topic but meh). That being said it isn't all the quick or fast but you can't call it slow either. After all Lotus's ingredients for their cars have always been small light weight body with equally small light weight engine which equals great handling and awesome gas mileage. In the Evora you should get around 30 MPG (not confirmed) and that's good for a car made to go on a track but of course track MPG will not be that good. Best of all it's practical as well. There is a big trunk and it seats 4. Not comfortably but hey if you're in the back seats you aren't the "best" friend anyways so what do you expect? Admittedly it's not the pretties or fastest car in the world but that shouldn't really matter as most outrageous cars have huge flaws that accompany them.

However I don't agree with everything that they have done. The price is what rumor has it it will be $100,000 (that's Porsche money!) or there about making it the most expensive Lotus ever made to my knowledge.

That's a very sleek car, though I don't know if I'd ever get the urge to buy a car like that. It's got pluses that a lot of other sports cars don't have, such as being economical. The name catches my attention too. I think it's a very fitting name.

I just can't see myself spending $100,000 on a car, christ - I could get a house with that money.

Give me a Mitsubishi Evolution IX any day.





Or the new Nissan Skyline R35 GTR

You can always live inside the car :P

Not that much room though =/

Break and enter would be too easy as well.

The Mitsubishi Evo IX is indeed an impressive car but comparing it to the Lotus Evora is a little much. The Evora is out of the Evo's league not in performance but more in prestige. If you were buying the Lotus you would like all other supercars also be buying the brand. That to people is worth it's weight in Gold. Also compared to the Evora the Evo is about as pretty as the south bound end of a north bound cow.

The Latest Evo solves that problem but it's not exactly cheap either. The 360 Horsepower model will cost around $60,000 and that's an awful lot of money to pay for that car. Not to mention that the Evora handles better then then both Evos and has less power and more MPG to boot.

Yeah...but watching Clarkston powerslide that bitch...ooohhhhh

The Evora's not bad but I rather take the Elise. Lighter, nimbler, and so much better looking. And let's not forget the track-ready Exige.

I still prefer the Evora. If you take into account everything as far as it being a awesome car to drive as well as being very practical it is the obvious choice in my opinion. If you just wanted a track day car you are better off with the other two aforementioned cars or an Ariel Atom or something along those lines.

Speaking of which, they've come out with an Atom that has a 500hp V8 and F-1 style side pods and F/R wings.

Fukken Awesome.

Indeed I have seen that thing and I think it is ridiculous. By that I mean ridiculously awesome. It has something like 1000 Hp per ton almost so that thing is going to fly. 0-60 mph 2 and something seconds but what will be truly impressive is going to be it's 0-150 mph time. I think it will be close to 10 seconds to 150 mph and that is really moving. I am a little bit worried tho about that big heavy V8 being in the back making for some over steer. They did give it F1 aero dynamics but still that's a lot of engine for a car that just weighs a little over 1000 lbs.

Another car from hell + thanxXx.

One thing i'll say is that i love Top Gear, i love the video when they drive a Renault F1 and the guy is like ''OMG!''

X_X Its impossible for me to have that

Lotus just keeps coming out with beautiful cars. It's not fair that I'll never have enough money to afford any of them...

I am going to buy a 40$ Purple and Pink Girls Full Steel Huffy brand bike from Walmart and slam it into this car while you're going 150mph down the interstate and cleave it in half in the most glorious death of all time.

Damn, that's one really snazzy silver beauty of a car. Wish I had that one instead of my Toyota Vios.
