EGTE 168 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Every time I think perhaps a McLaren would be great fun, I remember the Evora is 95% as good for less than half the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM jep 1,026 Posted February 7 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 7 Evora is magic. But 12c just does everything that bit better. Switchable suspension the deal-maker. I'd happily have 200bhp less if a 12c were cheaper to run. For the money, Evora is the business. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LotusLeftLotusRight 1,400 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Don’t think Hornsey is in North East England. Otherwise nice report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EGTE 168 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I don't disagree, Jep; I've been watching tons of videos on 12Cs recently. I just don't think it's the time to buy, plus the Evora is as you say the business. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do think in the future the Evora will get the recognition it deserves as one of the most capable cars in it's class. 1 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

Gold FFM jep 1,026 Posted February 8 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 8 @EGTE - I am sure you are right but.............. I would be amazed if anyone who loves driving an Evora would not love driving a 12c. They are very similar in terms of dynamics. Money no object and having to choose one, I would have the McLaren. On any sort of budget, Evora. Put another way, 12c is the girl of your dreams but she has an expensive taste in jewels. Evora is the girl of your dreams, has a lovely family and cooks your dinner.
