But this new media lot they have working for them aren't too sharp at trying to impress the public...

Can't wait to see what the spec is.

.........waiting for the conversion to become available saying that if it takes as long as regular parts have I might be retired by then!

 

One of the new cars is rumoured to be the new Esprit from what I've heard.

 

Seloc was awash with this this morning as a couple of the guys received the very mail

 

And here it is

Looks good, but I was hoping for a little bit more, like the T124 with a wing on the back.

Just need to find the price now and release date.

 

I can't get past the Evora's shut-lines-everywhere and discordant-vent-fest styling...

 

Sod that, try driving one, I loved it. Looks are secondary, although I draw the line at the looks of a 996.

 

Ha ha! Ok, fair enough - maybe next year will see what the trade in is on an S - if not maybe look at aftermarket.

Max power 350 PS / 257.5 kW @ 7000 rpm
Max torque 400 Nm / 295 lb ft @ 4500 rpm
0-60 mph 4.6s
0-100 km/h 4.8s
Maximum speed 172mph
Vehicle mass (unladen) 1437kg

 

I received the very mail this morning.

I also received the pre very mail a while ago but didn't open it as I did not recognise my contact's secretary's name. I deleted it thinking that it was spam.

Wonder if I am going to be offered an early taster test drive like I was with the standard Evora? They know there is plenty of interest from this community.

 

Jeeeeeeeez thats a heavy car , over 100 kilos heavier than mine and it must be getting on for 200 kilos heavier than an S2000
