It's an interesting thought... as an example of such a person, I could maybe offer some insight: Sports cars, almost by their very nature, are emotive purchases.  There's is very little objective

It’s interesting how we all share a passion for Lotus but have varying expectations of past, present and future cars. I grew up with posters of an Esprit, Type 72 and Countach on my wall.  My dad

Love the looks.

Agree with most that the expected launch spec of circa 4.5s 0-60 is disappointing and slower than all the outgoing cars. Needs to be circa 4.2 to get any attention from other markets.

I think there has been a miscommunication somewhere re the engines I have seen a few outlets say the same thing, this is what it says on the Lotus site

I think the 4 cylinder will be 60k 360bhp the v6 will be 70-80k 400 bhp

the configurator does a much better job selling me on the car!! 

Well I think they avoided all the details on purpose, letting it be disclosed by all the third parties videos ready to be launched that just popped out.
It's probably better to generate some noise around the car. If we knew it all already, we might not have watched a couple of other videos already.
It's better for the brand that these third parties videos have a lot of views.

What a lovely looking car, well done all at Hethel.

The power figures seem ok to me and are far higher BHP/Ton wise than the first S1 Elise’ so I am sure there is fun to be had in this model, although I realise they are two very different types of car. I realise some people want more BHP and a little less weight, and I am sure that will come along in time.

As I get fatter and older this car is very appealing to me, auto box, low door cills and a few gadgets, But if I was a youngster I would feel truly cheated that I had missed out on the Elise/Exige range. It would be great if in the future Lotus could make an MX5/ 60’s Elan type budget sports car, but realistically I think those days have been and gone.

Disappointed to see the Toyota V6 still hanging around, But pleased to see they are using the AMG which I believe has many relatively cheap upgrades available to it.


I felt for Mr Windle, I thought he looked exhausted

By the way, especially in the yellow pictures above, anyone notice how much lower the engine is sited - much lower than the Evora if you look at the view out the back!

That bodes really well for CoG and handling.

That’s what I would do! Not sure if I can wait until next year though. I am tempted to put a deposit down though! Would have to have the black wheels 🤔

On the Evora it's the chargecooler & compressor which is on the top, isn't it? At least the chargecooler might have been relocated?

Nope look at the top down pictures. The wider stance and body changes has meant the engine is lowered. Nice.

Surprised no one has enquired about the cost of a clutch change yet :)

It's normally the first asked question from someone looking to buy an Evora.

Some re-writing of history here. Back in the early 2000s, you could buy a Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ400 with 405 bhp (411 PS) from its 2 litre in line 4 cylinder engine. It’s taken AMG nigh on 20 years to match that.

Ah, but (a) emissions regulations and (b) how often did you need to service the Evo :)
