mg4lotus 135 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 @scotty435 almost the same colour as your Evora. Did anybody there notice or mention it? It might have been interesting to get a juxtaposition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotty435 1,029 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 To be honest it was a lot nicer colour than my Evora with the metallic flex the Evija looked stunning. But like you say similar. Love my Evora and would not swap it for anything, I tell a lie Bell and Colvills Liquid Yellow 430 could force me to put my hands in my pocket again lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdavies 73 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Bibs , thanks for the link to the launch video. Indeed that grey for me - I'd drive about quite inconspicuously then....... I note your description of the yellow one as "other worldly"- rather supports my questioning of the colour. Lotus are asking for £2m plus of this world's cash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,225 Posted August 14, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Great pictures @Bibs. The subtle detail on that car is just amazing. It really is a work of engineering art. Superb! 2 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero.

Popular Post Bee 85 Posted August 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Honestly, the more I see the Evija, the more I appreciate that the styling really is something else - just epic! I dearly hope that major styling cues will feed into the future Lotus models; if versions of those Venturi tunnels with afterburner-effect wrap-around lights don't make it to some of the new cars, it will be a massive wasted opportunity! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cor 79 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 This car is soo beautiful ... it deserves the cosworth t50 engine. Imagine this car with that sound Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mg4lotus 135 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 The space where the engine goes would negate the rear open spaces. So not possible. I'm sure if it were possible then Gordon Murray would have done it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NedaSay 835 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 98 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 post Share on other sites

Hello Paul 34 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(!)

stephenwhyte 1,898 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 post Share on other sites
