Still wouldn't stop me from getting one.

IMHO, if the engineers at Lotus didn't put one in stock, then it probably doesn't need one for most driving. (read - save some $$$ in production)

Also, most of the cars out now use the ABS/Traction control as a sort-of LSD. (I know - a poor solution)

Finally, it's a Toyota-sourced transaxle.... The guys at Quaife already have LSD's (about $1k) for all the other Lotuses out there. I'd bet they would have a fitment for the Evora about 1/2hour after they get their hands on one....

I can't imagine calling something a sports car in this day and age - even a practical sports car - and not putting in an LSD. And considering what those cars sell for...come on. Those should go to quaife for reconfigurable clutch types from the factory.
