Evo Car of the Year is..........

.....the Evora, beating the 911 (just) and the Noble. Thats a clean sweep across the UK mags I think.

Wow, it really has got some outstanding press hasn't it? I hope for lotuses sake this ends up in alot of sales, i'd love to see the car developed over a few years to see how good it can end up, makes me pretty excited for a new esprit too!

Lets see if any one at Evo buys one lol.

I think it would be a bit slow for those boys.

I'll take the GT3 thanks

The icing on the cake is the 2-11 in GT4 spec winning Evo's Trackday COTY.

It's amazing, wins COTY even with a 'dull' engine. What's going to happen when Lotus stick something interesting in there ?

Must be an amazing car, to win COTY and beat a GT3 in the process. Surely this should equal mega-sales.

This just adds to the ongoing success:

Evo Magazine "Car of the Year Awards 2009"

Autocar "Britains Best Drivers Car 2009"

Car Magazine "Performance Car of The Year 2009"

Drive one and you will see why the car is so good.

What a load of crud, how the Noble be 3rd? it doesn't exist as yet.........

I've been slow getting through EVO and have only just caught up with the article. Great to see the Lotus do so well "despite its shortcomings".

My ideal would be a 2-seater with the looks of the Artega, the balance of the Evora and a more competitive power output for the price.

Hopefully Lotus can get to grips with those points and develop a car from this launch model which genuinely pushes all the right buttons.
