So by now you all may have realized that I am particularly excited about the Lotus Evora 400. Yes, I've been chatting it up quite a bit, but the thing is I really, really liked the 2011 Evora S when I drove it.
I wouldn't be so keen on an all-new product unless I had reason to be.
While there's plenty of philosophical reasons why you'd want a Lotus over a Porsche or any other sports car, ultimately it all comes down to how it drives. That's what separates the men from the boys. The wheat from the chaff. You know what I mean.
But, for the curious, here's a few of those philosophical reasons:
- It will be more exclusive than a Porsche
- It is hand built, which means it will either be special or in the words of our British friends, "rubbish"
- While I like the original Evora's design, the Evora 400 still looks far more interesting than say a Cayman or 911
- Just listen to it
Aside from that, I'll let you be the judge as XCAR gives it a proper review.
The new Lotus Evora 400 should give those that want a Porsche pause for thought. Can this handmade sportscar change their mind?
