New Lotus Evora @ 2008 LAAS

[leloodallasmultipass]

I like the interior but not the exterior. lotus needs to distinguish its cars from one another.

[superyusrie]

Now this is a nice version of Lotus ! It has the comfort for casual use unlike the elise.

[orochiThing]

that sticks bigger than what my penis would be driving that car

[satchboogyfan]

Way too much money for a car that can be beat by a Pontiac Solstace turbo

Which can be found mildly used for lessthan

20k American

[ironintel]

50,000 pounds is 100,000 USD

[iDan245]

gorgeous car

[AedyRyan]

HUHU

[callmefilip]

That is a beautiful car. Way to go Lotus!

[MrMcMartijn]

please look at my channel : MrMcMartijn

[KissBoy2]

lol its an exact copy of the Zenvo st1... LOL

[super00su]

I sent this to lotus

I under stand that you company like to use Toyota engines and i was wounder if there away to order a EVORA with a 5.7l V8 supercharged like the one found in the Toyota Tundra. I would like a car faster then a corvette and F-430 but for a $120,000 price range.

This is a 7200LB truck that is as fast as a SS Camaro OR Subrua RWX STI So in the EVORA you would probably get like 11's sec

[goodguys]

Well, the main problem is the engine size. The vehicle would have to be completely redesigned in order to accommodate such an engine and with an engine of that size, performance would suffer.

[undomix]

its not about the engine size. its arder to make a better car with the lower engine. u think they cudnt ad 1 point to 3.5 and make it with the bigger engine?

[rippx]

Super00su, you can't even speak English, how the hell are you trying to write a letter? Oh and please stop talking about owning exotics, you sound like a little retard.

[super00su]

-wiki

"Edmunds tested a TRD supercharged Tundra which completed the 1/4 mile in 13.3 sec @ 103.8 mph (167.0 km/h).Edmunds previously tested a naturally aspired 5.7-liter V8 Tundra which posted a 14.8 sec @ 93.7 mph (150.8 km/h) time. Motor Trend's test of the supercharged Tundra resulted in a 1/4 mile of 13.0 sec @ 106.3 mph (171.1 km/h). This Tundra needed 4.4 seconds to run from 0-60 mph.

[fastmoneyproductions]

this is mine in 2010. with about 25,000 worth of packages and upgrades, its goin to be nice.

[chltmdwp]

yes that is for Nissan gtr. please read carefully.... when you want to interrupt any conversations.

[chltmdwp]

i've never aid lotus costs 80 grand.... btw.. even 65 grand Lotus sounds crazy to me

[lanceor090209]

Beautiful looking car. I wish I could own one...

[chltmdwp]

lotus is always a rip off. with that kind of money i can just buy Nissan GT

[nicometal88]

nissan gtr is far expensive

[chltmdwp]

are you seriouse? they are in same price range. plux GTR has more horsepower. i mean if you are going to spend that kind of money, you would not nearly care about gas milages.

[nicometal88]

lotus evora:about 74000 euros

Nissan GTR:over 86000euros in my country

[chltmdwp]

well in my country (USA) the GT-R starts at $80,790. and Evora is not available in USA yet

[maxshuty]

I think it would be cooler to say I own a Lotus vs. I own a Nissan.

[chltmdwp]

well if you think that way.

[PoorBoy1979]

I think it would sound much much cooler if you say you own a GT-R instead of Nissan.

[dhug0n]

why would you want a nissan gt? it'll probably just be slower because it's heavier and defenitely in the bends.

[chltmdwp]

the question is, have you seen one in person? because i have and it looks sick. i thought the design was ok in picture, but my once i've seen it in person, i was sold. well i have not seen this Lotus in person, but Gt-R sounds better to me. and what do you mean Gt-R is slower?? are you kidding me? it's faster than this Lotus Evora........

[74bajista]

Watch the Sky Motoring review. They did say that the Evora would match up well to a Porsche Cayman, maybe even a 370z. A GT-R or a 911 will eat this for breakfast.

You are right though, the GT-R is much heavier, but it was built and engineered to go around corners quicker than most cars. I really don't see this car beating a GT-R.

Put a couple of turbos or a supercharger, and it MIGHT be able to keep up. I must say though, it is quite sleek and stylish, but a tad too pricey.

Cheers.

[PoorBoy1979]

GT-R and 911 are turbo cars. The Evora is naturally aspirated car. Put a turbo/supercharger into the Evora than there will be a competition.

[policeman1313]

75k? lol good one lotus.

[stylin60es]

I love what you do for me! Toyota! ha, you guys remember that?

[jemlocks]

My doors have never fitted properly on my Elise, but who cares when a car puts a smile on your face everytime you drive it!

[jemlocks]

I currently drive an elise and I am looking fwd to a drive in the evora. What you have to realise is that driving a Lotus isn't about going fast in a straight line. Lotus make some of the best chassis in the world and they will corner faster than most supercars costing 3 times as much.

[changgang12345]

yo that car is flamin hoooot!

[aimcoclutch]

camry is one of super car then

[zottsguy]

NOT A CAMARY ENGINE more like the Celica engine, but lotus also did basically make the rest themselves which is good. I cant wait to get my hands on that new lotus! its gonna be sweet. Its also not even that bad of a price, Im gonna guess they throw it out at 80k MSRP.

[gmanzeroalpha]

The Evora is something you buy if you a comfortable Lotus. A "Lotus" is not a car its a philosophy. Just like Ferarri, Lambo and Aston Martin. They are creations with a kind of personality. You don't get one because they are fast. You get them because they match your soul. ... and for the record its a Celica engine not a camry... American wanker!!!

[joshfournier]

For that price I think I'd get the GTR instead. But we really have yet to see what this thing can do.

[nezj89]

toyota

[flood77777]

hey shark, do some research before talking about things you dont understand. The 3.5 in the evora is toyota's 2gr-fe, which is almost identical to the lexus IS350's 2gr-fse and is also on Wards 10 best engine list producing around 310hp, the supercharger should add around 70hp, hardly a grocery getter. The final version of the evora is expected in the mid 3 second range, anymore haters out there?

[5150UK]

What about Cosworth? The DFV was the most successful engine ever in F1. The YB turbo in the Ford Sierra Cosworth is a great engine also.

What about Lotus twin-cam engines in the 60s? They were also involved with the development of engines for the Mk4 Astra and Zafira Mk1 - both of which are smooth and reliable.

You'll often find that many great engines have involved British engineers.

[aznhomboi]

dumb shit youre not looking at the power to weight ratio.

[5150UK]

I was merely pointing out that large engine displacement doesn't necessarily guarantee a fast car. No need to get childish!

[5150UK]

As a basic principle you can increase a car's lap time if you reduce it's weight, regardless of engine capacity. Obviously there are other factors to consider such as aerodynamics, chassis design, suspension etc, but on the basis of weight an engine size - power to weight ratio is key. A 276hp engine in a relatively lightweight car is going to be quick.

[Tasus87]

It's almost 1,5 tons and 275 bhb...it almost costs the same as a 911..but it's way better looking!

[Veee6]

horrible car

[nik360playa]

yes... douch. it weighs nothing. so it wont need more bhp it has more torque for pulling. so it will beat quite a few things.

[chewchewg]

007 looking ~ !!! WOW

[drzedburg]

But it's got the economy, If it was the new exige yeah I'd agree but.

It's not so much designed for sport. they havn't supercharged it and I'd bet they'll release another model which is and it'lkl have plenty enough horsepower

[CandyEyeProductions]

this video was good

lets chat 0D

[drzedburg]

Lotus has almost never had big engines except for the Esprit V8. It doesn't need a big engine if it's lightweight. It still does 0-60 in sub 5. Does a Nissan Maxima do that? No.

[rambongo]

anyone know if it will come in right hand drive?

[nik360playa]

of course it will. its made in England by an English company.

[Sh0Nuffthamasta]

HAHA these foos talkin shit like their car would beat it...ya in ur dreams. I doubt any of yal will sit in or even see one in your lifetime. HAHAHAHAHA

[Sh0Nuffthamasta]

Lotus will dip on most cars out...yall sum psychos even bringin up those crap cars and comparing em to those

[sgtnhim220]

75k for a CAMRY?!?!

[sebacoyote]

グミモンってテリアモンとは別なの

[LukeXgamer]

Stop bringing up other cars....

[Metal4TheMasses]

You're just plain stupid. Everyone knows that Lotus makes some of the most lightweight cars. Ok, so it doesn't have as much horsepower as the maxima or TL, but look at the Elise or Exige. They both have tiny toyota engines, but are faster than most "sports" cars on the market today, including the above-mentioned luxury cars. Lotus is known for track performance. Yes, Lotus is using a "Camry" engine, but they put their own spin on it with the exhaust, intake, and electronics. Big change.

[kthankxbye]

yuk

[DatWunKrazieAzn]

nice car. bad engine

[saintsage]

it comes out in 2010 thats when i get my license this is the car im planning on getting its prety cheep i was expecting it to be alot more

[hiimme19]

ya that's the cool thing about lotus there nice looking and not expensive at all

[Claude81]

verry sleek verry slender.......i think im in love

[singqueen]

Damnnnn I want it !!! lol Sweet Car

[airFS]

I think over the next few years, as lotus will most likely update its agressiveness and power, it should turn into a very nice car. Look at how the elise turned in to the exige s240 in a few short years.

[ritualfunk]

it looks like a japanese car

[10RRASK]

I think it looks like a Tesla

[PMDanos1995]

The Tesla is based off the Lotus platform.

[Shitoryumaster]

I always wondered why the Tesla looked so familiar.

[nik360playa]

the tesla body was co-designed by lotus. who also did its suspension.

[antreas22cy]

ouaoooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[candysweetx33]

yeah,i never liked the Elise but ilike this.

[JGATZ1]

Eh..Wanna-be GT40 >.>

[RyanunderslashGlam]

seems like its gonna be there worst preforming car

[drzedburg]

the Europa? It's similar anyway, but this has got a higher top speed.

[JetStreet]

The money is worth it, except for the engine.

[topdinero]

that alot of units 2000 anually every years that good........

[jattpunjabi93]

look at that green rolls-royce at 0:06 !!!

i like this car!

[airFS]

it's some crazy yellow color....i saw it on their website

[Stevenhiggles]

damn, time to trade in the elise :D

[lORDELO2]

it's pornography, this car

[OZilla612]

too expensive!

[inhuman216]

Lotus cars are rare, and they are not really mass produced. it is usually hand built

[gino800]

its gonna be cheaper than 75 grand

probably be around 50

most things dont translate direcetlywith the uk

the m3 costs 50 thousand pounds thats almost 100k usd

while its only 50 grand here in the us

the 911 turbo costs something like 113k gbp

and thats equivalent to like 160 grand

yet it costs 126usd

the evora is probably gonna cost 45-50 grand in the us
