Evora Article in Evo

[cornbeef]

Picked up the new issue of Evo (136). They have their first real independent drive in the Evora. The writer has nothing but praise for the car comparing the b-road ride to a hot hatch. The only negatives he had to say were that the gearbox felt a little vague and awkward to engage when pushed on the track but it was perfect on the road, the entry is still a little tough (but commented an exotic car should have a little drama) and it doesn't have 'the feeling of solidity that Porsche imbues in its cars but as a package the Evora has a lot of similarities with the multitalented 911'. That was it for criticism.

He said it 'proved to be a really usable GT car, yet it also played the junior supercar role in a way he hadn't expected.' and went on to say 'that he didn't think even a 911 would have coped so well with their genuine cross-section of British roads' and that make no mistake, the Evora is a very special car.

He sang its praises on the engine, pedals, ride, handling and of course the steering.

On track it lapped very close to the Boxster S and about a second adrift of the new TTRS and Elise SC. Their Performance Stats read:
0-30 2.1
0-40 3.3
0-50 4.3
0-60 5.6
0-70 7
0-80 9.2
0-90 11.2
0-100 13.6
and the 1/4 mile is 14.1 @ 100.8mph
braking is
100-0 4.2
302.4ft
and 0-100-0 18.8
