Neat idea but it's not good looking, IMO.

seems like the name clashes with the look of the car.

Evora sounds like a dark, evil, dangerous, sinister object that thinks nothing of posted speed limits and sound ordinances.

The car looks too nice and pretty for its name.

Nice but a bit heavy for what I think a Lotus should weigh. 280hp, close to 3000lbs. Why not just get a Cayman? 2600lbs would have made it more competitive.

Looks like they filled the Evora with more creature comforts which of course adds to the weight... Bear in mind it's also a prototype...I just hope it doesn't ADD weight...

I'm liking this one more than the Eagle or whatever is called.

I hope they keep the weight in check. 30 MPG sounds good.
