Default Evora evolves...

As predicted

Didn't see the soft top 2 seater coming though!

Seems like a good S progression (albeit double the price!)

Good vid

Really want to see one of these in the flesh, not sure about the looks yet, couldn't really see very well due to the colour. Still looks like every other Lotus to me

I'd like one in yellow, please. My dealer emailed me the pricing on one recently, and even though I know it will be a fantastic car to drive, the price just doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense in three years' time.

I'd like some more technical details; there are some delightful details to the car, of which I firmly approve.

Viz, they crash-tested one. Unbolted the front sub-structure, replaced it and were able to crash it again 12 hours later and it STILL did fine! A great piece of body design!

Saw that the other day. TBH I'm not surprised Lotus are going to bolt on a charger. They have done with the rest of their range of cars of late.

Have to admit I thought the Evora already had a targa top. I'm surprised Lotus didn't go with the targa roof
