Stunning. Absolutley stunning.

Yep - looks nice if a bit predictable...maybe it will look a bit bolder in the flesh...?

2+2 though....if its mid engined then the motor is ahead of the rear axle...looking at the photos and the position of the rear of the front seats...where are the rear seats....? Are they rear seats ala XK8, DB7, etc...in which case hardly seems worth putting them in!

You can leave the rear seats out, its called the +0 option.

Here are some pictures of the back and the stunning interieur:

The best interieur Lotus ever had !!!

[clarencegi77]

want one, now...
not so sure bout the angluar rear windows though.. still the rest of it's brillant! lokks way better than the previous photos for some reason.

[Andy T]

Where are the pictures of what is essentially the whole point of the car though? THE BACK SEATS!?

I think the car looks great and I'm sure it will drive brilliantly but I want to see this 2+2 capability!

[gezkc]

Beautiful car, though I'm not sure about the name...

Wasn't 'Evora' one of Vic and Bob's catchphrases on Shooting Stars?!

[stuart-b]

Even comes with optional airbags! I'll take those

[tridave]

Nice colour MMMMMMM

[raceboy]

All of a sudden TVR's 'Relaunched' Sagaris looks very old, and very expensive, well done Lotus, lets hope it goes as well as it looks.

Yes Please

Thats my next car, although I'll have to get one 2nd hand. Not sure I'll want to sell my S1 Exige :-(

Tis beautiful though

I agree... it's fookin' gorgeous.

Still not worth selling your S1 Exige for.... the Evora might be hot, but it's not THAT hot

[Lord_Colin]

Evora is a City in Portugal and listed as UNESCO world heritage site.

[PompeyM3]

That looks lush !!!!!!

Wonder how much I'll get if I PX my 1988 Esprit ?

[charlescrawley]

Really like it... Will definitely consider getting one 2nd hand in a couple of years...

Or should that be come on Malaysia since Lotus is owned by Proton? Whether or not you like the PM what has this story got to do with Gordon?

Have to agree - It looks fantastic in that colour, even more of a head turner! The more I see of this car, the more I like as well. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

[rico28]

The Evora looks great and to be honest I don't even mind the name. I'm not so fussed about the back seats - really they are just for luggage or a child seat so it makes little difference exactly how big they are or what they look like. Won't be swapping my S2 Elise for one just yet but it has real future potential.

Big thumbs up to Lotus from me. Like several other people here I will also be going to check it out at the show tomorrow.

[VladD]

Evora? Is that the Evo version of the Europa then?

[marshalla]

Watching BBC News 24 over lunch. Mike Kimberley has confirmed that the next 2 projects are the Esprit replacement and the Elise/Exige replacement.

[Sivraj]

WOW that's stunning !!!
Anybody want to buy a spare arm, leg, lung, wife ......

[GingerWizard]

Nice very nice indeed, it looks like a Tommy Kaira (think thats how is spelt) mixed in with a 430.....
It would be a pleasure to see one of those out on the streets..... very pretty car mmmmmmmmmmmmm
