I agree and the more I see of it, the more I may be willing to settle for the 4 cylinder AMG DCT, which isn't my first choice. Although it will be cheaper to buy and run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimichanga Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Plan is be competitive with Cayman on price. I think perhaps carrying over the ‘Camry’ drivetrain might unfairly count against the V6 among pro Porsche journalists and customers but agree Geely’s plan looks like they’re willing to take a hit on sports cars and GT4 racing as they rake it back in with SUVs both Lotus and their Lotus developed Chinese brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted July 5, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Looks very much like an Evora. A natural evolution maybe. or could it just all be a nice slight of hand and that’s a mule 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the look of that, but I'm going to guess this is an Evora they've modernised to throw us off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM TomE Posted July 6, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 The picture is at Hethel not Goodwood, so maybe Lotus thought their security and NDAs would keep it secret, in the same way it’s protected the development cars up to now. Doesn’t seem like it’s a Lotus leak, so guessing they’ll be annoyed someone has leaked that. But hey, it’s a poor quality image and we’re only a few hours away from the real thing. How often are people checking the clock today? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLeftLotusRight Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Could the image have been from one of those pesky drone operators hiding in the bushes? 😉 pretty rubbish if it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Nope. Drones take better images than that nowadays unless it was 8 miles away which kinda negates the usefulness of a drone! 1 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.
