I nearly crashed the car, my Mrs jumped out of her skin in the passenger seat as I yelped excitedly like a little girl!

I saw a development 5-door Evoque on Sunday parked on someone's drive near me, I almost fainted!

Nice work on the pic.. I have to say it looked much better in the flesh that it does in pics. Can't wait for it to be fully road tested!

You know what - I think I saw TWO of these a couple of weeks back.

Damned if I can remember where, but I remember seeing two sportscars that looked R8-ish, but clearly weren't.

Now I've seen that shot I reckon they were both MP4-12Cs...

I live and work not far from McLaren so it's quite possible I guess.

Saw a stunning blue MP4-12C on the A46 near Warwick two Saturdays ago. Have also seen a silver one in Leamington Spa. Not sure if there's a connection to Ricardo engineering or perhaps they use the test facilities at Prodrive in Fen End.

I've seen them in development testing a few times and got photos of them disguised. smile I sent them to Autocar the first time, but never heard back.

I'm surprised it wasn't on the hard shoulder waiting for a re-boot. wink

Seen black, orange and silver so far. Orange would definetly be the pick for me.

There's a few blacks.

Flame Black is the pick of all the colours under the sun, it's amazing.

I have two pictures of one on the A6 near Dijon, white and driven with great restraint.

Had a development number written on the side.

I/we spotted two development Evoques being put through their paces up near Tomintoul at the weekend. The Turbo petrol model certainly doesn't hang about.
