That's awesome, man. Last week I saw an Evora the same color as the one you test drove. Great looking car.

Thanks everyone for all of the great comments so far..

Here are some pics I took this Sunday of my Evora and my RX-8 side by side. FYI these are from my iPhone 3GS (unedited).

Also, here are a couple of vids I captured earlier from my second test drive.. First clip is just getting in and starting up. Second clip demonstrates acceleration sound:

Pricing:

2010 Lotus Evora 2+2 $73,500
Destination $1,175

Options:


Curb Weight, 2976 lbs


It looks like a bad *** car, and definitely will be rarer than driving around in another benz/porsche/merc... but the specs seem underwhelming for over 75k.
The Evora weight and hp is similar to what the 16x and it's car need to be shooting for...and of course for around 30k. If not, even something closer to MX-5 weight and 250hp would be badass.
