LF1 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I would have thought saying *anything* about it would break NDA. Surely the fact that you have repeated that you were told it was going to be a limited run...

ramjet Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Here's a thought. It is a big tease and is just a sheet hanging on a wireframe. 1 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit.

As this is evidently a very hardcore, track-focused Evora - have they finally fixed the Evora 400/410's major issue - the exhaust?

LF1 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm not convinced it's an issue. In reality anyone taking a car like that to track won't be doing the nimby track but the big GP like Spa and Silverstone where noise is less an issue. If you are looking at other cars in this *assumed* sector (GT3 for example), whenever they are on reguiar track days they are fitted with silencers that more often than not are bouncing down the pit straight after a couple of laps. Just my 2p, but this is a car i am interested in, and I spend a lot of time on track and i hope it has the noisy titanium exhaust as standard. People driving these cars well won't wabt to take them near a standard track day, you'll get driven nuts by the traffic. I think if you got this car you'd save it for a couple of special track days a year, you won't want to be pounding it every week on some MSV day.
