  • @hotgirlsarehot because its rubbish and ugly for that money I would buy a Mercedes C-Class coupe or an E-Class saloon or coupe or even an SLK

  • One of these nearly drove right into me on a roundabout today

  • Deciding between this and the Cayman S. This car just has nice supercar styling, but performance wise, Cayman is probably slightly better.

  • @hotgirlsarehot Get this. You will be looked down on for getting a Cayman. Lotus Evora are more rare. Stand out a bit!

  • @Hudsigar

    Why would someone look down on me for having a Cayman? They are sexy cars that start at 60K.

  • @hotgirlsarehot Yeah but if you buy a base modle Porsche cayman you're only going to get seats and a stearing wheel for your money

  • @xXGreyWolf

    That's why I mentioned Cayman S

  • ok this is NOT a supercar

  • @GapperFly It is, tbh Lotus cars handle better than most other supercar, because Lotus makes LIGHT cars. It's all about power/weight. If you only count the horses you might as well call a lorry "supercar", which it isn't. Even the 122hp base Elise is extremely good, not to mention that an R one does 0-60 a lot faster than an M3 @ 4.1s. :)

  • @R4ss3 im not saying its a bad car. id love to drive one because of its awesome handling as well as acceleration. There's something about it that isn't ridiculous like a super car should be. When i think of a super car i think of crazy ass styling like zondas or a lambo, or beautiful cars like the 458. This is just simply a great sports car.

  • overpriced

  • i love this car , its awesome

    

  • The top comment above is so right. The Evora is the modern day NSX in so many ways...

    It is in all respect, what the NSX is: a usable everyday super-car that doesn't need +400hp to get around and is frugal as it would be reliable from something that Toyota made. In the state of gas prices and emissions, this car makes so much sense in a lot of ways. Sure a Ferrari 458 would be faster and more exotic, but who's going to live with that everyday? Also, remember repair bills and gas bills...

  • looks lika a McLaren MP4-12C to me, only in white :))

  • what can u expect from a half arsed malaysian made sports car

  • "where is the track" lol

  • I doubt anyone has bought a car based on a top gear review,the show is basically an ad for car manufacturers,it saves them a fortune in advertising.30 second Ad on prime time telly about £70.000,ish...5 minute ad/review on top gear...nothing.I could be wrong....but i doubt it.

  • I love that I get whiskey ad, on a video of a car review...hmmm....

  • Id feel like kind of a jackass buying a european "super car" with a toyota camry engine in it.. not gonna lie.

  • Poor man's Lamborgini. I love Lotus!

  • i would go for the porsche!! =)

  • corvettes are terrible cars

  • I love it; finally we learn the real reason for the name "lotus": the kids will have to adopt the "lotus position" - good one!

  • We all know what else is soft enough to do this and hard enough to do that XD

  • the only thing i hate on lotus is the hp and the sound.put ferraris engine and the sound of a alfa romeo 8c and that car will be the best ever made:)

  • i think the sound editor needs to unplug his ears or is just me?

  • pause at 0:49

    shit bricks

  • man that is a sexy car

  • does anyone know the song at the beginning of the video??

  • @BioGeometric066 Lol ya it would be ironic to have an audi r8 frolick in the feilds aswell ! being such an angry car! xD

  • I love the look of that car frolicking about in the fields :D

  • as much i like this car witch i do but is kinda a knock off of the elise/exige

  • The car looks a little to happy

  • encuentro que ese automovil es uno de los mejores automoviles del mundo

  • he has the best job.

  • @wzucha About $78,000 as of today's trading.

  • This car almost looks "cute" in the flowers lol!

  • How much is this in the U.S ?

  • beautiful clouds

  • the engine on the 2009-present Lotus Evora

    Engine

    3.5 L Toyota 2GR-FE V6 (280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp)

    3.5 L Toyota 2GR-FZE V6 (supercharged, 345 hp)

  • a massive v a million engin.

  • i wish i can drive like this without worrying having to change the tire every 1000km ;'(.....

  • I like how people cite youtube videos as if they have experienced it in real life and that it makes them somehow a master on the subject... " i saw that on youtube i can proof it"... idiots

  • @mikedmandr It does make you wonder doesn't it! Though the scary thing is, these imbeciles share our oxygen.

  • a killer attack dog and an old sofa. haha

  • Hey fellow youtubers, i'm quite in need of.some assistance. Should I go with this car or the Exige S?

  • @DarkLightOX exige is a two seater, t-top meant for driving. the evora apparently is a safe family car that can be used for going to work, groceries, etc..., therefore, the exige is lighter and more agile, thus to drive but more limited in the versatility that the evora has.

  • Wow 30mpg on a supercar? 

  • Ah Youtube... that wonderful place on the internet where people from all over the world can come together and have an argument.

  • @0Lamborghini Haha - there's a great cartoon with a guy's wife saying "honey, please come to bed", and he replies from behind his keyboard, "but there are people on the internet, and they're WRONG!"

  • @0Lamborghini i disagree :D (TROLL OLOL FACE)

  • i love how people are saying i hate the lotus i mean realy people ITS A MOTHERFUCKING LOTUS ITS NOT MADE TO BE SUPER FAST AND LOUD AT THE DRAGSTRIP THERE MENT HAVE FUCKING GOOD HANDLING AND GAS MILEAGE AND ITS NOT AN ECONOMY CAR AT ALL NO ONE BUYS A LOTUS TO BEAT A CAMARO IN A DRAG RACE

  • Lotus is well known for handling.

  • thumbs up if you agree that the Evora is the modern verson of the Honda/Acura NSX

    1. Mid engine jap V6

    2. easy to drive

    3. easy to live with every day

    4. under rated cause its not "fast" enough

    5. all around great reliable car

  • @fixedWinkie true, never looked at it that way, altho i've always thought the Honda Nsx had a DOHC V8...

  • @fixedWinkie No the new NSX is the modern NSX...

  • @fixedWinkie > Your joking right??

  • @fixedWinkie too bad the new NSX is already here

  • @fixedWinkie do you know that here in Italy is 74 00 euro...i can get more car for that amount of money...it's nice but is so expensive and so tiny...i prefer going in a M5 2005 instead of this midget...yeah for Hammond is good but for me that i'm 1,85 is so small!!!

  • @fixedWinkie not anymore because theres a new 2013 nsx

  • @fixedWinkie I guarantee If you hadn't written thumbs up if.. shit, you would get ten times more thumbs up..

  • @fixedWinkie

    well, it isn´t driven by Senna =(

  • anyone knoe the music or song at 4:44

  • Why am i seeing comments comparing a Camaro to an Evora? You can't compare the two, they're totally different. The Evora is a nice car, but i'd rather keep my SS Camaro. May not handle like a Lotus, but its still respectable, especially for a muscle car.

  • I want a car with a V-a million engine XD

  • Comment removed

  • @MegaSuzukiboy

    You know, some of us live in the part of the world where the public roads are like race tracks, with tight corners and hairpins and everything. It might be hard to understand, but on mountain roads handling and grip is MUCH more important than straight line speed.

  • @MegaSuzukiboy

    If a Hyundai comes by and wants to race with a Lotus, well, chances are that Hyundai driver is a retarded little arse, who wants to prove something just because he/she really can't afford a Lotus.

  • @MegaSuzukiboy Handling is very important.....If you're a keen driver. but a car is only as good as it's driver. a total idiot driving a Ferrari 458 Italia will get smoked by a pro in a elise.

  • @Meatlooaf omg so many retarded people on youtube i have never seen a lotus beats an other sport or super car on youtube or real life on track or straight please give us a proof dont talk bullshit even my grandmother can smoke an elise with fucking ferrari 458 italia i think u guys r playing too much games come back in real life..

  • @MegaSuzukiboy What makes you an expert? fuck you. you obviously no NOTHING about racing.....It's all about Acceleration, handling and Power/weight ratio, This is know since my uncle is a former Formula 3 driver. so....Mr Expert. what makes a straight line speed car better than one with good handling, acceleration and power to weight? it might be more fun to drive (which i doubt, but that's just my opinion).

  • @Meatlooaf hahaha ur mad? yes im an expert what u gonna do u bitch? get a life no one need to be expert for that every one knows lotus cars is slow, im telling u again swift sport was racing head to head againist lotus elise on track i saw that on youtube i can proof it but it doesnt makes that car better than lotus elise right? its same think i can proof it where is ur proof? too much name calling but u idiots haves no fucking proof get a life

  • @MegaSuzukiboy you're obviously a big troll!

  • @Meatlooaf that means u dont have any proof so shut the fuck up and get a life

  • If I will ever have 80000€ this car will be parked infront of my house

  • id rather have a BMW 330 my dads 530 has about the same specs but is 4 door and BIG "boot"

    hehe i like that word

  • Man I love this car. My dad just purchased one about a month ago. Beautiful white with a red interior. It is so f***ing quick. Took a sharp corner at 70 mph no problem. I want it(:

  • Wouldn't mind this car in Chrome Orange. :D

  • that cAR IS FUCKING SMALL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN FIT IN IT

  • 360 at 2:13

  • 5:46 - lady getting murdered.

  • The car looks so cute in the flowers, its "face" is like  :D

  • is this available in the US?

  • for people buying a sports car or a exotic car. the engines of most exotic cars or sports cars have like BMW VW, Toyota, Mazda etc engines in it i found that out. i think the bugatti veyron has 2 mazda engines dont remeber

  • DREAM CAR!!

  • if the seats are...here, and the boot is...here, then the engine is..............here. XD

  • i love how jeremey clarkson always uses similies

  • The lady's dress shopper uses a V6 engine from a Toyota Camry

    Lolz!

  • Thou shall not frolic with a Lotus

  • damn...those slo mo shots are awesome!

  • I tried not steering once & used the power of suggestion with my car! Didn't go as planned!

  • I like this car. Both mechanically and the general looks of it. Sure it's not as light as the elise but im sure its still very nimble. Lotus is good about that kind of thing but it looks generally fun to drive. And the looks strike me as this. Playful yet serious at the same. I dont know. I felt like posting about my feelings about it.

  • @YokoMishu

    Inorder to sell it in USA and to appeal to the Porsche market, they cant sell it as bare and naked as an Elise. They need the airbags and all the buttons. So like all cars, the weight goes up and the engine grows larger to compensate for the extra weight.

  • "and i know what you're thinking, hang on a minute... if the seats are here and the boot is here and the front is full of mechanical witchcraft, where did they put the engine? I'll tell you... It's about here..." LOL

  • PEOPLE, just because it isnt powerful doesn't make it terrible!!!!!!!!!!

  • I want one.... my husband says no....I think he is jealous cause he wont fit in it.... He's 6 foot 5... Im 5 foot 4. But it sure is a nice looking car!!! :-)

  • @LoveWalker88209 Jeremy's 6 foot 5 so I think he'll be alright.

  • choosing a car is like choosing the right person to do the job, some ppl have brains some ppl have brauns. but there are also ignorant dreamers talk no sense in realife and forget about whatever the posted online. a real car lover would humbly shut up and test drives real cars in car dealers, humbly asking the test driver's opinion and go for a spin as a driver and a passenger. All the fucking noobs missed out these steps, its clear they are retard. I drove 1 lotus before, its absolute control!

  • LMAO @ "All you can see on the dials is the reflection of whatever weather is prevailing at the time."

  • Toyota Camry? So can I just get a Camry instead?

  • Sorry, Clarkson, I simply can't take you seriously. In what way am I better off with an Evora over a Cayman? Since the Evora is so overpriced, I could get a well-optioned Cayman S for the same price. The Porsche is also more practical, more reliable and faster.

  • @marshknute In a sense, you are right. A porsche is more daily friendly, lotus is tiny, its just a weekend toy

  • did the sound engineers fall asleep or what?

  • Comment removed

  • screw the car, what's that violin playing at 2:50?

  • @emel60 if you like violins go to a music video faggot 

  • @MsCrappants burn in hell motherfucker, low life wow player

  • Comment removed

  • @MsCrappants I see that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, I never said anything about no camaro or any other car for that matter, I wanted to know the melody in the background and enjoy some british humor.

  • if only the inside of the car is better than this....it would be perfect.

  • to find a better handling car than a lotus you may have to spend another 100,000grand.

  • v 1000000 lol

  • @MegaSuzukiboy new camaros suck ass get an old one from the 60s

  • TopGear is the best car program in the world !

  • BEFORE ANYONE HATES ON LOTUS EVORA'S after watching this please bear in mind that this is the launch edition of the car which has teething problems. The current evora s has been developed based on the feedback from the launch car and is much bette. And also remember that lotus's are all about highly engineered chasis's that offer a brilliant driving experience as well as comfor. They are one of the best in the game at chasis/suspension developmen and the fruit of this is in the handling/comfort.

  • Nice. But is that a basic manually operated rear view mirror?! Cheapcut.

    Also it needs 4 wheel drive, of course that would make it heavier, but I'm a biased Quattro driver ;-) Btw it accelerates only a bit faster than my allroad.

  • @NiallatUTube No no no AWD is german, brittish sports cars are all amout being light and nimble RWD cars. Its the basis for our famously well handling cars.

    The latest "S" edition of the evora (the non-release spec) seems to address most the problems Jeremy highlighted here. The interior is much better now, the engine is supercharged and the gearbox is different. Its a bloody brilliant car.

    The new 2012 v6 exige should be something else. I really hope it gets reviewed by top gear next year.

  • Go LOTUS im still mad top gear didnt fully review the evora s

  • Does anyone know what music goes from 0:00 to 0:21? It is NOT Felbomlasztott Mentökocsi by Venetian Snares, but that's the only thing I can find on the internet. It's gorgeous and I want to download it, but I can't figure out what it is! Help, anyone?

  • very expensive shit car..very slow this car fail..

  • @MegaSuzukiboy The latest evora s with its supercharged toyota v6 engine does 0-60mph in 4.9mph. Not bad at all for a car that does ~35mpg and is very comfortable/easy to drive. And in any case, though lotus's generally are fast cars the detail lies in the chasis/suspension. For example, the ford gt40 and the hyper fast nissan gt-r both have had chasis's developed by lotus. They are one of the best car chasis engineers in the world and that is clearly visible when you drive one of their cars.

  • @cammyammy this car is still slow for the price much slower than the muscle cars that cost half price of evora thats what i mean..

  • @MegaSuzukiboy Not many muscle cars these days are that fast off the shelf. But muscle cars are hopeless around the track as well. The reason why muscle cars are cheap is because all they do is bolt a v8 onto a a chasis thats just been knocked together to hold everything in place. Lotus is all about chasis development and is why they are brilliant to drive (much better than muscle cars). You cant really compare them.

  • @MegaSuzukiboy 1. you can't go with a car more than speed limit 2. Even expensiver cars are slower 3. if you would compare any muscle car against evora on a track (like topgears) evora would win!! 4. Any other complains?

  • @MegaSuzukiboy its one of the best handling cars ever made, you ignorant shit...your idea of best handling car is what? a camaro? PFFFFTTT...

  • @shobin05 swift sport is one of the best handling car too they use it on nurburgring but no one cares, this car is slow for the price just get it losers

  • @MegaSuzukiboy SWIFT SPORT? best handling???

    please tell me your kidding, or you just made the joke of the week...LMAO

  • @shobin05 jwrc champion in 5 years u fucking loser search videos of it before u write, jerremy clarkson and 5th gear says same its not me bitch ;)

  • @MegaSuzukiboy im sorry but you have to be seriously retarded for comparing a rally car to sports car...honestly i coudlnt be less bothered to reply you after this...so have a nice day..

  • @MegaSuzukiboy im sorry but the camaro is a fucking  shitbox

  • @shobin05 Buahaha, A Camaro on best handling? That poor sap Mega must be driving a potato.

  • @ReallyLav Camaro is a clumsy movie star.......It trashes everything, look good on film, flamboyant show car. NOT a racer.

  • @shobin05 omg so many retarded idiots here i never said camaro was best handling car, u better learn to reard fucking loser get a life

  • @MegaSuzukiboy if you think you're camaro can beat this car guess what awd GTR beats crappy rwd muscle

  • @shobin05 Actually, the Camaro ZL1 lapped the nurburgring in 7:41. Its got pretty damn good handling.

  • @shobin05 what do you expect, look at his username lol. he's in love with crotchrockets

  • @shobin05 lol, i love the camaro and it is my dream car, but it turns corners about as well as i can speak that african clicking language.

  • Comment removed

  • @shobin05

    I dont this guy knowz the evo 10

  • @shobin05 LOLLLL! Camaro!! I puked in my mouth

  • Comment removed

  • @scottbux22 evora looks great thats why im looking at it ;) but its slow for the price everyone knows that the truth hurts right ;)

  • @MegaSuzukiboy wow, a reasonable person on youtube, that's a first. my bad. It's pretty impressive though that it beat the gallardo on the top gear track

  • Lotus have just made a gorgeous new factory a possibility Nice 1

  • Lotus Dress Shop ... EPIC XD

  • @rehsa2194 a shit car the boss

  • Good car, but I'd take the new boss 302 5.0 mustang over it.

  • @rehsa2194

    Depends on what you intend to use it for. If you want to be fast on straights only (did I hear an archaic stiff rear axle being used on the Mustang in the year of our Lord 2011??) and use it to drive friends while expecting the value of it to drop like a rock in the first few years (maybe not in the States) then a Mustang makes sense.

    If you intend to DRIVE the car and want something involving that can corner (Lotus's always had great handling) then pick the Lotus.

    Your choice.

  • @McLarenMercedes

    I'm certain the Boss does more than just straight lines. Didn't it lap the Laguna Seca faster than an Audi R8?

  • @MrJplz2514 its faster than the evora around laguna seca too
