Lotus 131 reveal
Discussion
Looking forward to seeing the car in person at Goodwood FoS. Very tempted to place an order. I’m not convinced on a 4 pot because engine sound is a big part of the driving experience for me. However I’m going to hold back deciding on what I go for until the launch. Hopefully we will get some good honest reviews out soon.

I can’t believe it’s the reveal for this tomorrow and there seems to be no mention or discussion of it anywhere other than on the lotus forums.
I can’t believe it’s not been leaked! Shown to press last weekend and sat on a trailer waiting for Goodwood right now. Still nothing leaked anywhere!worldwidewebs said:

Snatching PR defeat from the jaws of victory, having kept it under wraps until the very last minute.
You don't think that was a deliberate leak? I'm reserving judgement until I actually see it. I still don't like the Evora in photos but its very different up close (better)

Confirmed what most thought - an Evora with a new dress and underwear?

We knew it was going to be mid engined, I don’t think it looks particularly Evora derived. The point of VVA was always flexibility. I'm reserving judgement until I actually see it. I still don't like the Evora in photos but its very different up close (better)

I also nearly put an order in but speaking with the dealer they indicated the pre-order numbers are pretty low, and seeing as this won't be a limited production run, anyone that ordered one would get one so it made me put away the cheque book and await the launch and prices etc. If it means waiting a couple of months extra next year for delivery then so be it.Shnozz said:

Something looks odd about that picture on reflection - it's the small wheels and arch overhangs, and the almost deliberate fuzzy/pixelated look.
..could this be a deliberate 'smoke bomb' to put us off the scent I wonder?
I think you massively over estimate Lotus' PR department...could this be a deliberate 'smoke bomb' to put us off the scent I wonder?
