Anyone test drive or read of a test drive on the Evora? Anyone? Bueller? - LotusTalk

At 3000 pounds powered by the Toyota Camry mill I'm just curious.

A thorough decent one.

No reviews - noone outside Lotus has had a test drive yet

Can this be like a movie release where they don't let Rednecks review it and it goes straight to DVD?

Not good amigo.

Dickedup, none have been delivered yet in the UK so that's why no reviews but I'd imagine that in a couple of months you'll read something right after the first ones are delivered to customers. Here in the US, we'll have to wait a bit longer but no doubt you'll have a better understanding by then. Are you possibly looking into getting one?

ADIOS amigo,
Abe

Here's our new car. It's been tested all over the world. Let "Lester" et al from Road & Track take it for a spin.

That's how it typically goes before customers get their grubbies on a car.

Normally.

Curious about this Lotus but looking at her specs she'll be just slightly quicker than your average Looky@Me Conveyance.

The new Esprit should hopefully do it's thing.

Buenas noches.

Lotus has more than a few pre-production mules zooming about. Well past the prototype stage mister.

If you recall Mazda sweetened the pot hard when the very first RX-7 was introduced. Everyone lost it by the time you could actually order the car... in a good way.
