Sounds like your M100s.  I wonder how long it will take to sell. Is the current owner on here.

A brand's “halo car” is often the car that brand enthusiasts dream about and drool over. While the car may not have a halo in actuality, it might as well, being the extravagant symbol of a brand's manufacturing perfection.

The blue evora with the huge diffuser which was being sold privately has gone back on the market. Looks like a dealer bought it, cleaned it and added ~£3k

That's the one. No mention of the original rear wing/spoiler coming with the car though.

But there are 4 on AutoTrader under £30k…

[Rambo]

All the ones under Pissedonheads under £42k must have sold in the last week - there were 3.

People are starting to recognise how good a car the Evora is 👍

It’s nearly Easter. The market always wakes from its slumber at this time of year.

Yes, I'm hoping to be back in this club again soon 👍

This looks interesting, Komotec and unusual colour!

Never seen one in "metallic autumn green" before. Was it a factory colour? I quite like it. Sort of a subdued "toxic" 😎

[exeterjeep]

Ad says autumn gold and also autumn green. Looks more golden to me. Not to keen on the interior golden pieces, around the hvac controls.

[Rambo]

Maybe it's a wrap?

[MrBlueSky]

Stratton had one that colour for sale several years ago.

[TdM]

Yeah that's a nice colour. I'm also not a lover of the interior 'splashes' but I could live with it!

[paranoidandroid]

It must be pretty savage with the Komotec 475, assuming that’s 475bhp?

That reminds me of an old E46 M3 colour - Phoenix Yellow/PY. AKA P1ss Yellow. 🫣

Yes. I quite like it and not dissimilar to Porsches Cayman R colour "Peridot"

I nearly bought a Caterham in a similar shade that the owner affectionately called "The Pissile"..

A nice red 2010 NA has appeared https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202303255622856

Needs a little bit of TLC but the price is nice.  I'd be tempted if it wasn't the other side of the country from me.

Seems to have gone of AT since yesterday.

[Cdm2018]

Not surprised the Red Evora gone it had a few cosmetic issues but once it had a good clean up the red colour comes through and illustrates what a wonderful shape the Evora is ! 
Also the fact that it looks like a baby Ferrari is a bonus 🚗

We know that often people compare the Evora and the 911 when considering either car as their next choice. It has been discussed on here several times.

So, I was playing about with the CHATGPT Aritificial Intelligence for work, and I thought I would ask the question, to see what type of answer I would get back. To be honest, I'm impressed. The response is probably more articulate than two petrolheads would come up with whilst having a beer (or three).

Interesting, same question to Google Bard. This is Skynet really, this is how it starts...

Is the Lotus Evora better than the Porsche 911?

The Lotus Evora and Porsche 911 are both excellent sports cars, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. The Evora is lighter and more agile, while the 911 is more powerful and luxurious. Ultimately, the best car for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Here is a more detailed comparison of the two cars:

Performance

The Lotus Evora is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 345 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 172 mph. The Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine that produces 370 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 182 mph.

Handling

The Lotus Evora is known for its sharp handling and agile nature. It is a joy to drive on winding roads and can be very rewarding to push to the limit. The Porsche 911 is also a very capable handler, but it is not quite as nimble as the Evora. It is more stable at high speeds and is a better choice for long-distance driving.

Comfort

The Lotus Evora is a very spartan car. The seats are firm and the ride is stiff. It is not a car that you would want to drive on long journeys. The Porsche 911 is much more comfortable. The seats are supportive and the ride is smooth. It is a great car for long road trips.

Luxury

The Porsche 911 is a more luxurious car than the Lotus Evora. The interior is well-appointed and the materials are high quality. The Evora is a more basic car, but it is still well-built and has a comfortable interior.

Price

The Lotus Evora is a more affordable car than the Porsche 911. The base price of the Evora is $84,900, while the base price of the 911 Carrera is $96,300.

Overall

The Lotus Evora and Porsche 911 are both excellent sports cars. The Evora is more agile and fun to drive, while the 911 is more powerful and luxurious. The best car for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Does C8RKH have any idea what he's talking about?

I am not sure if C8RKH has any idea what he is talking about. His search results are very strange and do not seem to be related to the question of whether the Lotus Evora is better than the Porsche 911. It is possible that he is a troll or that he is trying to make a joke. However, it is also possible that he is genuinely confused about the question and is trying to find information that will help him answer it.

I have tried to answer your question to the best of my ability, but I cannot say for certain whether C8RKH knows what he is talking about.

At least the AI "knows" who I am!   I suspect yours was a human AI response @Bibs and very good it was too. Made me laugh anyway

[Bibs]

I'm more concerned it gave a relevant answer to what you posted about 30 mins after you posted it!
