Surely if you are involved with this in some professional way you are under NDA? There are people here with knowledge of this car that are not saying a peep and they have no professional involvement at all.

That's why I didn't say anything confidential about the car.

[LF1]

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...

Anyway not long now and everyone will know everything

Here's a thought.

It is a big tease and is just a sheet hanging on a wireframe.

EVORA CUP 470!! OMG

 

How cool is that engine bay

[DaveC72]

Massive apologies to everyone, but... (I am not actually suggesting this, but I'm browsing the net whilst waiting)

[trcm]

I really really hope when it is announced, that there's a new  / totally revised manual gearbox in it!

Won't be called a gte as they don't own the rights. Even the gte's weren't gte's! ? 

[JayEmm]

One last bit of speculation, before the announcement proper...

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

No point having a brilliant track car if it's banned from most track days

[lotusmad2001]

Bibs already said titanium. Does the titanium exhaust push out the sam db's?

Thought you were going to say the squeaky seats! 

[Snoopy1969]

@lotusmad2001 guess so, as it is often mentioned that the internals are the same

[21gg]

Obviously must be nice biscuits they're having with their brew ? 

[LF1]

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. 

[Snoopy1969]

@Instinct_NZ it will be so lightweight that they have saved the seats completely

[Instinct_NZ]

Maybe this is going into production...

[Bibs]

I'm not sure Lotus would want to produce a car that catches fire every time it goes out on track

[Snoopy1969]

This is actually not a Forum, more a scientific test how Long we are willing to wait before destroying.... 

[430CUP]

It's like waiting for a warranty repair !
