    OK, so I'm a bit of a Lotus fan but this baby is gorgeous!

    http://www.lotusevora.com/

    It's a tiny car but they've managed to squeeze a 3.5 litre V6 into it (not very Earth friendly I know...)

    :D

    I guess the site must be under a whole lot of a load at the moment... it's really slow for me.

    Here's info and pics for anyone suffering the same kind of sluggishness. It's a gorgeous car but I just can't see £45,000 in it.

    Thanks for the link - shame they don't have more pictures of it. I would take a trip up to the motor show this w/e to see it but I'm on-call :(

    ...if anyones going I'd appreciate some pictures :)

    Yeah, you're right 45k is too steep especially as I've seen Europa's going for 20k...

    Glad to see that they've put some decent ICE in it - quite a departure for Lotus.

    The site is being hammered at the moment - try the link that ponynugget posted :)

    ...I'm kinda glad for Lotus that this car is getting a lot of attention :) It's just a shame it's not powered by compressed air ;)

    That is a beautiful car, I really love Lotus'. They are amongst the best handling cars on the planet.

    Couldn't agree more - I think it's the driving purists that will be most drawn to this car. I had a conversation with a Porsche/BMW car lover and he wasn't convinced, by his own admission he's more drawn to the quality and prestige of a car rather than pure driving pleasure.

    Unfortunately, having seem a Europa close-up, I'm sure that the finish of the Evora won't be as good as a Porsche. :(
