Me likey



Info here: Evora by Mansory press release

Found this bit rather Interesting:
Let’s be clear on this: contrary to media reports, what you’ll see in Geneva is NOT an Evora facelift. It’s a taste of the future of Lotus product customisation. Merely the first toe in the water and a showcase of the potential future.

So anyone want to guess how much?

Very classy for MANSORY, but not that exciting either.

Me likey too!

Saw my typo now. Anyone know if it's possible to edit thread titles?

The quality of the work is very solid, like stone!

Evora Carbon with a nose job?

[Buddsy]

Ohhh so that was why Bibs was after the "Pimped" pics!

I do like that it looks much more supercar than the first Evoras. Looks like its now got a body to compliment the machine underneath!

Must say that after the Autocar pic of grafting a Elan nose on an Evora, this actually comes out quite cohernt. Not sure if I prefer it over the standard Evora nose, but certainly is more agressive. And lashes of carbon in never a bad thing, is it?

I'm actually also quite intrigued by the rear end treatment. Reminds me of the pre-facelift Elise S2

That looks awful. The Evora has quite a classy/clean/timeless look. That looks like something a 15 year old boy would draw.

No thanks

I had a long chat with Kourosh Mansory a while ago, was going to do some business. But am glad nothing came of it, the quality of materials and fit is only satifactory and often not as good as the original car.

I've downloaded the two full size pictures so as to be able to get a proper look without them flipping.

Hmm, ignoring the fancy carbon, I rather like that front .......... and it looks to connect on to the same panel line as the present design........... retrofit?! Don't know about the underpinnings of course. Been trying to visualise all in white as the rest of the body. Any Photofit artists like to play?

Irrespective of who designed it, it does seem to follow the Lotus "new range" look, so accepting that there is no current commitment, I would have thought that a Mansory/Lotus deal might not be unthinkable at some future point.

Using that for the S would underline the distinction, and the S has the grunt to make such a look valid. The base Evora - which I love - could carry on the present appearance continuing the "grown up Elise" concept.

Now wonder if they have any product planner slots going?!!

[gtornes78]

Any chance you could post up the hi-res pics?

[mdavies]

Not sure, there is a limit on the pixels here (as I found with my pics for my great TomTom technique!) but if you follow the link in the first post, then might have to register - no problem, I just said no organisation and Evora Owner, you get to the Lotus Media site, and then click on News on the top menu and you can download the pics - its worth doing, they are good. Might be useful for future access to media site too - only took a couple of minutes.

PS, and just below the miniatures on the News page is frontal Evora pic for comparison.

That looks like... the usual mansory job.
I guess customers will have to chose between pink, green and purple snake skin for the interior, with a 10 billion dollars diamonds option and gold plated door handles.
That's pathetic IMO. They will ruin the Evora like they did with many others.

[Bibs]

Another recent Mansory monstrosity....

[Roger the Dodger]

I can see the DNA

[surferphil]

That photoshop carbon wrap hurts my eyes, the real thing will look as cheap as the visualisation then? No Neons though!

Where do the side intakes go, are they blanked off? Ohh nasty!
