Imagine this car with that sound I think it would be just far to slow. 0-200mph In over 10sec. Who would buy that!!

NedaSay Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Well just looked at the spec of the car on the website, the weight went up to 1750kg from a target of 1690kg but Popham now mentions way more power possibly exceeding 2000bhp so there's that.

Popular Post yeller77 Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks a beauty in the yellow. Just happened to realize, those tunnels and curves must be a b**** to paint, wonder how it's done. I'm sure it will be all spelled out in the (inevitable) Making of the Evija video. Looking forward to it. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Paul Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Nope, that's just a wide angle lens on a crappy phone distorting the back end. I have some gorgeous 8K(!) RED camera footage here showing that exact yellow car looking nicely proportioned at the back. And no, I'm not going to post any of it here!

stephenwhyte Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 I love it and really admire the effort that’s gone into it. I really do believe that the Evija will be much admired for many years to come......Lotus have played a blinder!👌😎 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeller77 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nice to get another view of an Evija in motion, but what exactly would the "tach" be indicating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMick Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hope this is not ominous for the Evija? Just started saving for mine ( may get there by 2098!!) https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/williams-lotus-launch-multi-million-123342800.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Paul Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 I'm planning to pop along to Stratton Motors next Friday to take a peek at the Evija. I have a theory about cars in photos and real life: Dull cars look better in photos/on video than in real life. Exciting cars look better in real life and photos/video just can't capture the drama.

mdavies Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Having acted as expert witness in more than one multi-million case between big outfits - really big, much more so than Williams and Lotus (though perhaps not bigger than Geely in one case) - I can vouch for how juicy the details can be that each party unearths from the dirty laundry baskets of the other through the stages of the formal "disclosure" process. When purely commercial parties are involved, whether details "leak out" likely depends on whether it is in the interests of both parties to remain silent. One or the other may judge that there is no reason for silence on their part. From the fact that a fairly descriptive outline has emerged - the Telegraph also had the story - it would seem that the latter is the case. The sequence of the news report and the statement by Lotus would also seem to indicate who did what here, assuming that it was one of the parties, rather than an extremely well connected reporter. Could be fireworks to come! Edited September 3, 2020 by mdavies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Popular Post Alfa2Evora Posted September 18, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I had a 'by invitation only' viewing today at the new Scottish dealer, Parks of Hamilton. What can I say other than various slightly used body parts, such as a kidney, a lung and part of my liver, will be appearing for sale on Fleabay in due course, 😜 . 5 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stephenwhyte Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 It’s a beautiful thing for sure - I was shocked at how good it looked in real life. The design team must be so proud of their work!👏👏😎 Even my other half loved it👍 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerley Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Pictures don't do it justice. Quite an astonishing piece of kit. I did fit but it was very awkward getting in an out despite a bigger door opening and more space than my Esprit. Then it dawned on me, left hand drive. 15 years muscle memory wiped out. Leading with my right leg felt most peculiar. So I'll pass I think, if there's no right hand drive 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I know ... LHD only! I don't want to sound unsupportive of my favourite car company by far, but there's a certain sour taste left in the mouth when the phrases 'British hypercar' and 'LHD only' end up applying to the same motoring product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
