    Err... Internet is trans-continental and international all the way. Anyone can have access to information regardless of the country that he resides in.

    So you don't have to be European to search for information on a specific topic!!

    yay great answer! super helpful

    i dont even know of any good magazines and car websites that are popular over there but i figured someone over there might see something at a news stand or on one of the popular websites over there and then put a link up on here, and when it comes out over here we would do the same.

    looks great so far. I think it could use just a little bit more power to compete with the 911. That being said, i would definitely buy this before I would even consider buying a 911

    You seem to be really excited about this car.

    For good reason, though.

    Sounds like a good combination. Seems like they're building too few though. Up the numbers, lower the price, call it a done deal.

    haha its a lotus! i love lotus' they are by far my favorite exotic car company. They could make a go cart, slap a body on it and I would be excited about it! (ohh wait, they already did that)

    i dont know if lotus has has capability of building a lot more of them. plus i think they are probably testing the waters a bit and maybe they will build a few more in the future if the demand is there.

    That is a good point. Let us just hope that they decide not to build a Cayenne.

    Love the rear, dig the interior, but the front looks somewhat robust. Like something penned by an Indonesian F575 fan working out of a Renault design studio. It looks much better when viewed from above though.

    I'd probably pick that one over the Cayman S. Bit of a Lotus fan I'm afraid.

    It's called the APX.

    Thankfully it's just a concept though.

    According to the link below it is more or less sure that they will have a 350 hp+ variant.

    Report: Supercharged Lotus Evora Makes 350-plus HP, 0-60 MPH in Under 5 Sec. | Motortrend News & Auto Blog - Wide Open Throttle

    I don't like the fact that the car weighs 3000 lbs (Same as the Cayman). I understand that the Cayman is the class leader and they had it as a design benchmark, but the whole Lotus philosophy is compromised.

    I would like to see a 2500 lbs car, not a 3000, because after all it's a Lotus. It won't be performance through lightweight, but performance through normal weight and a supercharger.

    Maybe they should try making a version similar to the GT3 (deleted rear seats, spartan interior, buckets, lightweight wheels etc). It could save 200-300 pounds...

    It is a concept that a company called ZAP claims that they will put it into production, according to the link below. I highly doubt it though, as it's been a mighty long time since the first announcement without any news since...

    No Tesla CUV, But Zap! will build the Lotus APX with batteries
    Yay.

    But the thing is, the whole point of the Evora is to stay nimble, but not be as back breaking as the Elise. If you want an Elise, you'd get one.

    But the thing is, I don't think that a stripped out street version is too far away anyway, with the formula of the Exige. So keep your hopes up buddy.
