That's a mean diffuser.

Slipstreamer · 09-11-2009, 10:19 AM

Does any of the dealers take deposits now?

I was always a fan, but seeing it in motion (and person) completely changes everything. Youtube either Fifth Gear of Top Gear and see it moving, especially shots with a wider lens, and it really makes more sense. It's a very handsome car.

My enthusiasm for the Evora has been restored.

Vulcan Grey · 09-11-2009, 11:02 AM

Awesome!

DeanG · 09-11-2009, 11:42 AM

My prayers have been answered, well at least some of them...

Go Lotus. Beat Porsche.

and to think I found it rather tame compared to the IMRP diffusers for the exige/elise

ZJChaser · 09-11-2009, 12:29 PM

Well done lotus...I dig it!

buzzy · 09-11-2009, 01:11 PM

Love it. I especially like seeing the exposed chassis from the inside view.

I find it amusing how someone will post a thread on here of some news or a scoop and it seems, almost inevitably, we get these redundant duplicate threads by the 'administrator' on the home page.

In this instance, The Viper posts this news here and this afternoon, this thread is upstaged by a senseless repost of the very same subject matter that is already being discussed.
Lotus Builds ‘Type 124' Racing Edition of New Evora Model

You would think that whoever posted the topic first would take precedent and any subsequent posts on the same topic would be called out or merged into the original/first thread.

And if the point is to bring attention on the homepage to news, then just post the original thread...

Just seems silly - I am not getting it.

ok - end rant.

Yep, Pferdestärke:

...m... · 09-11-2009, 02:52 PM

...PS stands for pferdestärke (german for horse strength) and indicates metric horsepower...it's roughly equivalent to our customary mechanical horsepower, but you can multiply by .986 to be more precise, 394.5 HP...
