Saw one of these cars parked up at a Pizza Hut restaurant in Lowestoft yesterday evening.
Looked jaw-droppingly good.
True Super Car looks.
Anyone else spot this?
What colour? There was a red one in Dereham pre-christmas, to my eye it looks better in the flesh than in magazine photos.Looked jaw-droppingly good.

About 3mths ago I was on the A14 coming towards Newmarket and couldn't work out what low slung, black, messy looking thing was in the near side lane . .
Turned out to be a test mule, which I assumed was Evora in black camo deflection gaffer tape type hide all stuff. Look nice enough like that, looking forward to seeing the finished beast . .

I was lucky enough to spend Saturday at Lotus having a Lotus experience day, and saw several Evora`s, aswell as the production line with the early production cars and test evaluation cars.
Overall the whole package is very proffesional, well concieved, and well put together. We saw several complete cars, and I have to say for me it needs to be the right colour. There was a white car there, the colour just makes the car look too tall, but conversly, there was a dark maroon car, which looked very slick. I could imagine any similar dark metallic or similar type of paint would work well, or some black lines or whatever around the sills with lighter colours, to make the car look lower/sleeker.
Do not know why they bothered with the 2+2, you can just hear Jeremy Clarkson having a go....should have made it a useful storage area, instead of the excuse for a boot, although to be fair, thats what I would use it for if I ever owned such a car.
Have to say I was very impressed with the demonstration drive by the Lotus instructor, although they do know the cars and the circuit like the back of their hands. I only had about 5 laps driving, and it was time to come in just when I was beginning to get to grips with the car and circuit. Very impressed with the abilities of even the basic Elise.

Saw one on the A47 Norwich Southern Bypass yesterday morning. Turned onto the A11 - probably on his way to Lotus.
Picture doesn't do it justice, TBH. At a distance, it looked really wide and low. Nice looking car.
Apparently some of the directors are running around in them to put get some miles under their belts.

I saw a bright red one yesterday evening on the westbound A47 Southern Bypass near Norwich.
It looked great with black wheels. It had what appeared to be foreign plates (white front and back), but couldn't see the country or whether is Left or Right hand drive, as I was eastbound.

Nice to see you diligently watching your fuel consumption and listening to Radio 2 - 9.05am....that will be 'pause for thought' playing then.
