pickle Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 If it's anything like the 400 the engine will keep loosening up and getting stronger. I'm 3500 miles in and it's feeling better all the time..... and I thought it was good to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkyfingers Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Another great review, even if the bloke looked about as enthusiastic as a wet weekend in Scunthorpe. I really can see myself in a 410 at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Car looked and sounded great. The reviewer is the real deal as a driver but didn't appear to be driving any faster around the track than he did on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuno1 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 The more you see the reviews you appreciate this is a different animal to the 400. This is more of a track focused car that can tour but not ideal for it but the 400 can tour and do track work but now as well on track as the 410. Glad lotus have made both as they appeal in different ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephancock77 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Finally another video review of the Evora 410. Looks fantastic on the move and sounds great as we all would expect. Is it just me or has this amazing car from Lotus been seriously neglected by the media?? To me it seems like this is Lotus's very credible answer to the GT4 but despite the clamour for just about every journalist to talk about and mention the (unavailable new) GT4 at any given time this Lotus product once again is probably only going to be ever known about by the very few. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think they invited 3 UK publications and 3 European ones to the launch of this and the same for the Exige Sport 380. I was offered one this week for 2, yes 2 days but it's -6 here overnight and not much warmer during the day so I can't do the car any justice, certainly not enough to review it properly. I did have a few cancelled plans in Nov/Dec to have it for up to a week but again the weather isn't ideal to be testing this kind of performance.

Trevsked Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Get real bibs, two days is just enough time to drive to the south of France where it's warm and would photograph better too.

Gold FFM DaveC72 Posted January 25, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I thought it was a great review, and seemed to know what he was talking about. The 410 really is getting glowing reviews across the board. What worries me, is seeing @Bibs up and about at this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubox Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Or Friday night ferry Portsmouth - Santander, arrive Saturday evening drive to Picos.

Trevsked Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nice idea but time may not be on our side if Bibs can't have the car too long.

LF1 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Glad we're back on topic and no more pictures of that God aweful red steering wheel. Nice review, I quite liked the guy's approach. Looked very late on track. We can drive to the south of France in a day - quicker than ferry. Pretty sure an Elise 235 Cup should be in the mix.

Gold FFM DaveC72 Posted January 26, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 If Lotus do indeed read this forum (Hello), surely the road trip that seems to be building here would be a fantastic piece of practically free PR. The fact that members of this forum would give up their time, pay their own way to see and possibly drive one of their cars speaks volumes. The list of cars building would make a truly epic sight travelling together and provide a great photoshoot and write up.

Trevsked Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I really don't know how this will pan out and whether Lotus will play ball but if it does happen then I would suggest 6 cars max. The two day idea appeals as it won't take me away from family/business for too long. Trevor. Quote I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm sure we'd be lucky to find 3 people that will actually go through with it! Weather in Europe isn't great anyway, it's forecast to be warmer in London next week than Madrid! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast-video/21417162 I know bah humbug! There's only one destination for it though: http://www.evora-portugal.com/index.html What about a TLF tour to Evora for the spring anyway? Hopefully Lotus would see the benefit in joining in with a Sport 410? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalli Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Well i'm in! I'll either be there in an Exige V6S, or if I remain foolish, an Evora 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
