Evora Detail Pics
Discussion
Hi all,
I bumped into an old mate of mine at the motorshow who, it turns out, works for Lotus. So I took the opportunity to get up close and personal with it and take a few pics.
Some may know that I wasn't that taken by the looks of it (I saw it last week too), but it's growing on me. That said, I still didn't come away feeling 'wow' - but it's a great step forward. A bit bigger inside than I'd initially thought, but definitely small kids in the rear only (IsoFix points in there too
As you probably know, it uses a 3.5l engine (Toyota supplied). The chassis was a neat setup with 3 sections. The front and rear are steel and bolt to the cockpit section which uses the tried and tested extruded aluminium sections. The great thing is, if you have a 'moment', you can simply unbolt the front or rear and replace it. Much more economical than the Elise where chassis damage was very hard to put right.
Anyway - see pics below...
Chassis rear section
Chassis centre section
Chassis front section
Design looked more cohesive this time
Room for two (small ones) in the rear. Evora has IsoFix fittings too
Dash well designed and looks great
Dial feature very nice indeed
Reversing camera and obligotary sat-nav
Seats look comfortable, but supportive. Remains to be seen how well they perform on longer trips
Door card detail
3.5l V6 from Toyota (and no doubt Lotus fettled)
Rear styling looks very good
Still not sure about that roof line - I think colour will affect it alot, I'm betting black would be stunning
Nice Lotus detail on indicator LEDs
Line between quarterlight and rear window has caused quite a lot of discussion (both internal and external it would seem)
Now I just need to see if I can blag a test drive
