(edit edit: name confirmed!)

(edit: It seems this may be a hoax name placed by Evo to trap the unwary like me... take with a huge pinch of salt...)

Well, after the Eagle/Ethos debate, that rather came out of nowhere.

As a name with no attached baggage, it should let the car itself build the image associated with it.

We know how it looks and what it's called. The important question: how does it drive?

Just received this :

"Hi all,

It's what we have all been waiting for!

"The Eagle" is about to land at the British International Motorshow tomorrow morning, (22nd July) with the official unveiling taking place at 11.30am.

Staff at Lotus HQ who are not attending the event will see the unveiling live on big screens across the factory. It is an exciting time for us all and we hope that you can share this special moment with us tomorrow by logging on to:

Kind regards,

Evora! That would be plain awful!
At least Ethos has meaning, They can call it eagle if they want to but Evora, I seriously hope it's a troll!

Looks infinitely better in the footage than it did in the press release pictures!

The car looks so much lower and better than it did in the first pics! It looks composed and ready to jump at any Cayman coming its way!
