  1. @LotusLeftLotusRight 😎 ...not that wrong ...:-) ...I think the last tennant of that place was peloton..... (seeing the black bikes and the black bike trailer you think that there is a full new direction.....electric units cancelled, just human power ... 😉
  2. When I picked up my old plastic bucket from annual service in may this was sitting in the showroom. First one I saw "in the plastic", amazing in yellow!
  3. Munich...... (one of the most popular places in munich, just 30m away from the Mercedes "studio" showroom..... )
  4. I have had a look at the Emira interior recently ....well, it all depends (as always) on your personal taste but the interior materials als far away from the lots of leather used for the Evora S1. The non integrated screen might be modern but the old dashboard with atari like graphics and general outlay as a memory of the Lotus Elite will always be special - but if you want a "modern" int. than the Emira will work in proper way ! The Recaro Speedster CS seats used in the Evora S1 are very expensive, I can´t think of a reason changing them but of the cost theme for Lotus.....for me the original seats were fantastic, even after 800 km in a day no problem ....
  5. skipping through old pics in my phone.... no 11 (former user @TBD ) in 2018 after the rebuild (it was sold in the munich area, but I have no idea if the owner kept the car...)
  6. Since July 2012 ......(ordered end of 2011...some delay of the build because...well we know...) Driving could (and should) have been more in the covid years..... yes, I believe it will stay... 🙂
  7. If you choose the 19/20 rims on the Evora you got Pirelli corsa tires in a "LS" specification. Liked them on my car but after some years a hassle to get them over here. Now changed to Mich ps 4s. So IF Lotus create another "LS"-spec it would be nice if they care for LONG TERM availibility also or care for development / recommendation for another tire (and if someone is saying "just change to cup 2 like Lotus did with the 410/ 430 .....cup 2 are not available as 275 20, in Germany you won´t pass MOT if you change to 285 20....)
  8. by the way: I am wondering how many cars actually are fitted with Michelin cup tires (or similar) - I am not sure all the drivers got the "right" temperature within the tires when driving not acessive beyond the speed limits (after LS spec Pirelli corsa no longer available I changed to Michelin Pilot Sport 4s, happy with them, esp braking in the wet...)
  9. the amg a 45s already has 421 ps....... hmm.... 2plus 2 seating always was a huge plus of the Evora (dog and luggage transport.....) .......
  10. after 8 years in the Evora I figured out that the sound of the pioneer radio could be upgraded a LOT by just streaming internet radio from the iphone than using the "normal" radio with its - lets say - "surprising" perception😁
  11. @jep you are absolutely right on pointing out how difficult a proper 2+2 midengined car is to design - tastes are different but I think a F Mondial is an example how proportions might not be in the end of a car design process. I think there is just the F 308 GT4 and the Lambo uracco as proper styled 2+2 midengined cars (the R Alpine 310 has the engine in the back) Also interesting in the design context is to me that the new T50 of Gordon Murray has a more or less "simple" desing, meaning not that much agressive lines (esp compared to other super or hyper cars or whatever they are called now....)
  12. time will show that esp the first design of the Evora with her "smooth non agressive" lines by Russell Carr was a great shot ............(although a lot of complaints about the "not agressive" lines....)
