wonder how the new car could look...
in the past there where some drawings but the further we come the more changed in crises and Co2.

just came across this picture, which looks a bit Evora on steroids biggrin not bad.



also what engine will they use...hybrid? or V8 turbo...say the new BMW M V8 4.4 bi-turbo (550<>580hp)





Engine is the stuff of genius, with reverse porting flow (exhaust gases route towards the inside of the V-configuration) ensuring those turbos are always game. First M-car engine to feature direct-injection too.


what do you think and what have you seen so far on the web.

could also be something like this

Mike Kimberly canned the BMW engine a long time ago. It'll be a Lexus of some description, prolly a V10 in at least one version. Top picture is an Evora? Just a photoshopped one, so I hope to hell it doesn't look like that.

Top pic is a zenvo photoshoped with an evora. Pretty sure the new esprit wont look anything like that. Be intresting to see how and when it will appear. They managed to keep the wraps on the evora until it was pretty much ready to be unveiled
