mdavies 72 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Other high profile posters have done on this topic previously, so I shall risk putting this link here too. I wonder if Gordon Murray will take my Evija as a trade-in? Quite a lot of detail apart from the incredible power train.

Likuid 116 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 (edited) Aesthetically I still think the Evija is the better looking car (from what I can see anyways). This is still awesome though. Gordon Murray was on the Lotus podcast and it was one of their better episodes IMO. Edited July 23 by Likuid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giniw 275 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Well if one is in the position of buying one of them, he would probably be in the position to buy both so it's not like anyone has to choose! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdavies 72 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Giniw, surely depends if a buyer wants a XXXXXXXXXX or a YYYYYYYYYYY. No, I'm not going to elaborate! Each to their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post robington 132 Posted August 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7 I saw the Evija this evening at lotus Lotus Silverstone. I must say it's a fine looking machine, I was very impressed and was grateful to the team at Lotus Silverstone for putting the event on and giving people the opportunity to see it. A nice end to the week !! 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post NedaSay 824 Posted August 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7 That design is the best design of any car in I don't know how long really... Regardless of being an EV, an hypercar, a mid-motor layout or a bank robbery in the making. It is a masterpiece. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotty435 951 Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Did see you drive in. The +2 looked stunning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post LotusLeftLotusRight 1,099 Posted August 7 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7 That is my Evora GTE. The Evija was truly stunning to behold. According to the host, it was painted Solaris Yellow. It looked similar to Renault Liquid Yellow, which everyone knows is one of history’s great colours. I think Lotus should have used it as the Launch colour last summer, particularly after that all yellow convoy through London to the original Evija launch. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotty435 951 Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Stunning photos Dave thanks for posting, happy to see your plus 2 yesterday, shame we never got the opportunity to chat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdavies 72 Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Accepting the Evija's appearance on its own terms and without comment, seeing those photos makes me wonder about the status of that particular car. As presumably it was intended for viewing fairly generally - Lotus Silverstone's guests? Some club? Invited by Lotus?. Potential purchasers? - I imagine that it was intended as a show car, and the bright yellow finish was an intentional aspect of displaying it. Given that the Evija's very heavily sculptured form is evident whatever the colour, wouldn't something quieter - the traditional metallic silvery grey for instance - have better represented a £2m plus car? The photos of the car park show "obviously real" cars in quieter colours. (The Plus 2 is lovely.) The Evija's yellow on any car makes the sort of attention-grabbing statement that some would prefer to avoid - I know that I am not the only one. On the Evija, it accentuates the intensity of the sculpturing to a degree that it made me wonder about film props, or an advert for some forthcoming Pixar cartoon. Really, I'm not commenting on the Evija's appearance in itself - the sculpturing is functional and fundamental to the aero design. That colour however, for me, does seem to highlight it "beyond reality". The photos showing the interior through the open door give me no such issues! Perhaps it's my age (although my Lotus is Vivid Green!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
