Sadly I was not that impressed with the event or the car :-( event was poor, the car was a pre production model where you cannot close the doors, I stayed 30 mins and left. Might even get my deposit back. Evora in a dress and the cars a tad too wide imo, inside still felt low rent, and I have zero confidence that Lotus and the network can support sales and these cars. one of the worse car launch events I have been too if not THE WORST.
As for the poster above stating " When did you get to drive it then?"
I have driven the lastest Evora and it's a better driving machine than a Cayman, was just too expensive and even more low rent sadly where every car you see has parts falling off and that's not even made up. I guess it will drive totally the same as the outgoing Evora with the same, sus, wheelbase and engine, gearing, shift, steering etc etc might even be a bit worst as less power and more weight. Total shame really, but they will make you look when you see them on the road. Real shame Porsche did not fit a new gearbox to the 4.0 GTS Cayman :-( other wise I would be in a 4.0 GTS.
2 very close cars to being great but both sadly lacking, I did have a nice chat to an ex Lotus driver, who switched to a A110 so it seems that's where people have been going.
it will drive well for sure, but it's not my future daily :-( rather buy a Cayman R and some trick bits to be honest. So hard to beat a Cayman R for £50k
