LF1 564 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 That car has a lot of options on it if you look at the option sheet. I bet we see a 120k+ tag on it in that spec. Quote Lotus Register - https://www.lotusregister.com Link to post Share on other sites

JayEmm 1,272 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 First thoughts 430bhp. Predictable, but disappointing. I see the gearbox is untouched bar a cooler. Not surprising. 250kg downforce is genuinely impressive. Do not like the look of the front end. Not sure on the rear end. Love the wing. Am sure it will look much better in person. Adjustable ohlins = cool Interior seems to be going the right direction - looks much more luxurious than the 410's, certainly in the press car spec. Carbon backed sparcos is how they are meant to be! So nice touch. Price not known, will make a big difference to my opinion although I can't afford it in any case.

Cypriot 92 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I love how focused this car is, and yet it not only has power folding mirrors, but they are also heated!!! brilliant!! What a machine though.... the front reminds of the pre 400 evoras! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,101 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 The 'optional' Sparco's are beautifully trimmed and now include a solution to the creaking issue.

DaveC72 778 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I know @C8RKH will hate it... ...but in that colour. Want. So. Badly. I am seriously impressed with the attention to detail on this car (not that my opinion really matters in the grand scheme of things). The CF looks spot on and the aero package has enhanced the 400 look. Figures look pretty tidy across the board. It's looking ominously expensive - but very much worth it. GT350 anyone? Weapon.

Bibs 11,101 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I can't comment until the press release goes out chaps. If I did, TLF would lose the kind of access we have so please bear with. 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.

JayEmm 1,272 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 @430CUP I wonder if it will be NCO as in the 410. Perhaps Lotus are just keeping their American market in mind, where the 410-style Exige seats are not legal.

Buddsy 1,608 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think it looks awesome apart from the hanger rail spoiler over the existing spoiler at the rear. Just looks like a bad design. Im sure its there for serious reasons but it does look like shit aftermarket halfords add on. buddsy Quote "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites

JayEmm 1,272 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'll be honest. We haven't heard the price yet so we could still be shocked, BUT - I suspect this is going to be priced close to a 911 GT3. That's 111K plus options. Yes, I know, you can't buy one at list, but that doesn't stop the comparisons happening (Read any comments section of my GT4 videos). A 911 GT3 has 500bhp and a mega gearbox, I am sure the Evora might be a sweeter handling car but it becomes very very difficult to justify this kind of money for that kind of power. @Cypriot No, it isn't.... I know everyone here thinks I hate the 410 but I really do have a soft spot for it in the right colour and spec. 1 Quote James Martin (JayEmm) Director of Photography & Car Enthusiast Follow my Lotus adventure online! www.jayemm.com Link to post Share on other sites

Stuno1 317 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 looks epic but the spoiler is a shocker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
