Black And Gold Lotus Evora S GP Revealed
An 'edition' so special, they're only making three
Anyway, aside from the black paint job the cars feature natty gold graphics including a Lotus decal on the rear wing, and some red detailing on the wing mirrors and around the front and rear aero bits. Inside the Premium Pack is fitted, and trim is SuedeTex with custom red stitching. You also get a reversing camera and forged Diamond Cut design wheels, also painted gold.
The cost is £69,950, which is £7k or so more than a standard Evora S - and we know about it because Bell & Colvill have one in their showroom.
We don't know how much he paid, but we do know he's been to Hethel to finalise the spec of his new acquisition, because there's an item about it on the company website - including an email from the Ginger Wizard himself, which gives an interesting insight into the charmed lives of the rich and famous. Being him sounds almost as much fun as being a motoring writer...
"Great day down with the guys at Hethel/Lotus HQ. I am officially especially excited over what I took a sneak peak at concerning certain future production cars. Time machine required - get them in the showrooms asap so the world can look on in wonder. And as for Gavan the test driver, he should be available on prescription. Woohoo!! I'd also like to thank Gino for his hospitality and muchos gracias to Russ and his design team for helping me spec the Freddie Mercury Tribute Evora S in the spirit with which it deserves. The initial purpose of my visit. There has been talk about a future go in an F1 drive-a-like. Count me in!
...P.S. Noah says he's never had a more enjoyable time at a works HQ but then again he is only two and a half and it was his first one."
It's not real gold, you know?
Jesus, Im glad Lotus havent lost their sense of humour! £7k for a paint job (or sticker set), a reversing camera, tech pack and some stitching!!! This must be to celebrate their recent successes with their similar coloured F1 cars.
Right here and now who wants to pay a premium for a colour scheme resembling one of the back markers on the F1 grid???
Im a big lotus fan, but this continual p!ss taking on special editions commemorating sweet FA is really starting to bug me.
And by the way, Were it next summer I would buy this immediately, albeit not paying the 7k extra but lets face it I'd get a deal. There was an Exige in JPS colours not so long ago and it looked great, anybody got a pic of that?
to both of those.Right here and now who wants to pay a premium for a colour scheme resembling one of the back markers on the F1 grid???
