Ride & Drives of the New Evora in Austin!

EVO magazine named it their Car of the Year. Top Gear lauded its handling and named it their 2009 Sports Car of the Year. What is this supercar that has the media in a tizzy?

The Lotus Evora.

Unfortunately for American enthusiasts, this mid-engined Supercar has only been glimpsed at events and in the pages of car magazines. This weekend, John Eagle European, AKA Lotus of Austin, will bring the lightweight Supercar to the Texas Hill Country. For two days only, Lotus and John Eagle European will conduct a ride and drive event for a lucky few.

The Evora marks a new chapter in the history of the storied British automaker. Bigger, more civilized and more elegant than anything else in the Lotus lineup, the Evora retains the principles ingrained in every Lotus since Colin Chapman founded the company in 1952. The chassis is lightweight, putting the driver in complete control. It’s as if the razor sharp suspension has been hardwired into the driver. The brakes are magnificent and the motor is flexible and tractable.

The engineering masterpiece is clad in a modern suit that is as stylish as any Seville Road suit. With a construction of composite materials, it is functional and lightweight.

Austin is the perfect home for the Evora. Only a few hundred will make their way to the USA and even less to Texas. In fact, this may be the only opportunity potential customers have to even drive one before purchase.

The John Eagle European ride and drive should be one of the most talked about events in sports car circles this year. What could be more fun than piloting an exotic, lightweight European sports car on the Texas twisties?

I can’t think of a thing….
