Reptilians want one!!

I hated this car the first time I saw it, but am now warming up to it more and more. The next level S-version should be great.

Contortionists? Me wants.

...it's a car which seeing in person and then mulling over afterwards really starts to grow on you...i honestly leaned toward disliking it before spending an evening with the two test cars; now i quite lust for one...

Great Video and the acrobats were a nice touch too

Michael Jackson's ghosts.

JohnnyQuest · 07-07-2009, 07:01 PM

Two Questions:

1. Does he get paid for doing that?
2. What car did he compare the Evora to?

def · 07-07-2009, 11:39 PM

Will every video we see drift the evora more than properly cornering in it?

60K pounds, so about 90-100K US ... if this car is aimed at the Porsche Cayman S, good luck.

I hope it sells well, but if I were a buyer, I'd wait to see what the Evora S has to offer.

mopho · 07-08-2009, 01:17 AM

You can't just convert Pounds to USD, that is not how cars are priced.
The price has been talked about ad-nauseam on this forum and in the magazines, it is estimated to be around $70-75k

robains · 07-08-2009, 07:47 AM

Guess we'll find out in 2010 -- did you factor in dealer markup? I still maintain the price will be around $90-100K.

Did Fifth Gear factor dealer markup in their British price?

Dealer markup is not a part of MSRP, it will vary and it only applies to fools who need to be first on the block to own one, so no, I did not factor it in
