lets see your Lotus(s)!
Discussion
Norfolk Mustard Yellow and Compomotive MOs
Here's mine in a bit more detail;
Nitron suspension, AP ali bell discs, S1 Exige alloys, S2 Exige driver seat, flush-fit 4 fin rear diffuser, Safety Devices a-frame roll cage, Luke Pro harnesses, Sparco alcantara snap-off steering wheel, polycarbonate rear screen and some carbon scoops ... oh and an Audi 1.8T with Audi TT 6 speed gearbox, running 270BHP and 270lbs/ft. It's a monster. Handles like a Lotus, outdrags a Ferrari F430.

That looks fantastic.
Makes me miss my old one
Still no idea what the next car will be when the time comes. Needs to be as rewarding to drive, as good to look at, not common on the roads, mix sports and touring capability as well as the Evora does etc. Currently nothing on the market under 90k!!! The only 911 I like is the 991.2 gts and that is 90k ish.Makes me miss my old one
The Evora punches above its weight in many ways.

Exactly the problem I have encountered!
Any joy with your search or any pearly of wisdom to offer?Had a nose around an R8 and, as nice as it is, I am not sure I can get past the looks and its also fair to say its less practical for European trips in terms of luggage space. Its also a wide ol' beast with the doors opening like barn doors and I have a single underground parking space to contend with.
Aston V8V is the other contender but its just a bit agricultural in terms of its drive. But it is oh so bloody gorgeous to look at and would make for a brilliant GT car. Only problem is I feel I need a second car then that is sharper and a proper drivers car for non-GT work...
Therein lies the problem. The Evora really did everything bloody brilliantly.
Aye, had a ride in the older r8 v10 and wasn't that blown away to be honest. The v8v s looks a good contender but I am yet to drive one as not looking to change for some time yet. I have heard dynamically it is not as good or enjoyable as the Evora. I love the 12c and 991 gts but both are very expensive! The Evora is an incredible car and I feel like I have hit upon a rare and quite incredible package. Not to mention the maintenance costs are small compared to the other cars muted. It also has safe tuning potential from komotec. I am glad I don't want to replace it yet and don't look forward to trying!
