RE: Lotus Evora Freddie Mercury Edition
Discussion
In America they like the Evora but think it's overpriced for a small european car (importy duties are deliberately high to encourage people to buy American).

Here we have a proper race driver (rather than an out of work former BTCC failure) on a proper race track (instead of an airfield with lines painted on it) lapping the Lotus less than a second slower then the Porsche Cayman R.
Enjoy.
P.S As for the Freddie edition. I think this is because Lotus make great cars and haven't needed an advertising team for a while and didn't hire the right promotions agent. I like the yellow seats, they remind me of the yellow jacket Freddie wore live at Wembly.

Why are Lotus out to make themselves look like a bigger and bigger bunch of idiots on an almost daily basis?
Words honestly fail me - it's sad, pathetic and demeaning to a once great British brand.
Yes what kind of massive unpleasant idiots would donate an expensive car to charity to raise funds for people with a terminal illness? Words honestly fail me - it's sad, pathetic and demeaning to a once great British brand.
Probably the same calibre of man sack that doesn't read before being smug.

Why would you want a car that has something to do with the worst and most annoying band in history?
The one that played to the largest stadium audiences and stole the Live Aid show in 1985 by a huge margin? THe band that have been one of the most successful British bands in history? No idea...Still, it beats the Polo Genesis and Rolling stones editions VW plugged.

You're reading the article. You now know about the car, AND the charity. Its about exposure, and raising money for the charity. ChiChoAndy said:
It is for charity. Someone will buy it. Charity gets money. How terrible of Lotus.
Abso-bloomin-lutely! My beef is with the terrifyingly bad punning.Personally it wouldn't be the car for me, but as you say somebody will buy it, and be very happy with it - and a good cause will earn from it

What? You didn't write it? I thought you were the one who writes all the awful stuff? Personally it wouldn't be the car for me, but as you say somebody will buy it, and be very happy with it - and a good cause will earn from it
