The LA Times Reviews the New Lotus Evora
The accolades continue to pour in worldwide for the new Lotus Evora. From EVO to Top Gear, the lightweight sports car is rapidly becoming the object of choice for enthusiasts who want a fun exotic at a reasonable price.
The first all-new Lotus since the iconic Elise made its debut in 1995, the Evora is the world’s only mid-engine 2+2 sports car. Powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 276 hp, and weighing less than than 3,000 pounds, the Evora offers breathtaking performance.
Recently, Dan Neil of the LA Times reviewed the car. What did he think about the new Lotus Evora? Enjoy this video and find out why it may be his car of the year, even though 2010 just started! http://www.latimes.com/videobeta/watch/?watch=54d6cbf3-5772-4987-8b60-d24599127e28&src=front
In addition to its excellent performance and exemplary handling, , the Evora offers a more refined ownership experience than Lotus’s existing smaller four-cylinder models with a contemporary, hand-crafted and elegantly trimmed cabin and an equipment list including such high-tech features as an advanced touch-screen multi-media system incorporating a state-of-the-art Alpine satellite navigation and audio system. Its a fantastic car that can not only carve up the hill country roads, but also be driven everyday.
True to the Lotus value of “performance through light weight” CO2 emissions are expected to be a class leading sub-225 g/km (prototype figures) while testers report fuel consumption in the region of 30+ miles per gallon on the highway (pending formal homologation testing).
Only a few thousand will be built worldwide each year, so the car will exude an exclusivity that matches its performance and stylish good looks. Lotus of Austin is proud to be among the few places to snag one. Take one spin in the new Evora and you will agree it seems as though Lotus designed the sports car with Austin in mind.
