It’s just a normal Evora S IPS with a fancy body kit FFS
Shut up at the back you gravy drinking bugger!
Gav
Beautiful car !
Hey Gav - that’s a cracker, well done that man!
Not completely sure about the wing, but the best is so much better than the standard car and the 400, the GTE is pretty much prefect. Having the vent behind the door and in front of the rear wheel breaks up the massive bit of nothing, where you can see where they added the +2 bit.
There is a picture of a black standard car with a gte kit but with the normal wing which does look well. Ive heard it mentioned that mine had a normal wing when DB had it but never seen any photos. Either way I love it how it is, it’s just got so much more presence in the flesh.
Gav
wing is perfect
Cheers Thommo, it’s 'all perfect in my eyes. Found it
White is the new black
Its strange, I like the pictures of the black ones but in the flesh they dont work as well to me. Not that all the others on the road are black has anything to do with it!
Gav
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh Gav
So what’s the verdict over the std Evora then Gav? I will have nothing to compare it against.
Mine is not due until July now…
July! That’s a bugger! Its hard to say at the moment Gav. Obviously, as Im running it in, I’m not pushing it and its nearer the limit that I presume the handling will vary from the standard. I always found with my others that they felt very civilised during normal motoring and it wasnt untill you pushed them that they came alive, where my exiges were ‘alive’ all the time. I’m getting use to the gearbox slowly so each drive feels better. Other than that, initially the driving experience its pretty similar to standard tbh. For me the main big difference is the presence it has, even just parked up! Its not for the shy and retiring thats for sure.
Im booked in cpop parade laps with the historic lotus club on the 12th June and first service on the 13th! Bugger should have done that the other way round lol. I do think yours is going to be stunning in silver with all the exposed carbon, possibley the nearest to the original concepts.
Gav
That looks amazing!!!
Cheers,cant wait for Gav to get his as well.
Gav
Seems like an eternity but having waited this long, another month or so isnt going to kill me. i may kill someone, but its not going to kill me. No, Im more than happy to have one at the end of the day, it will get here when it gets here. [“honey, have you seen my whacking stick anywhere?”]
Really pleased for you though, we are both very lucky in the fact there will only ever be a handful of people who will ever get to drive and own one. Cant see them changing hands too often either tbh.
Gav that looks absolutely stunning I’m, lurveing the paintwork hue - and the design touches to the rear end have finally made the Evora design look complete - look forward to viewing it in the fibryglass
Is this the keeper???
The nightfall blue looks almost flat in anything but strong sunlight then it comes alive. Yes I would like it to be a keeper!
Gav
Gav,I feel very luky to get one, im wandering round with a constant grin at the moment!. You’re right, its not something that’s going to come up for sale very often, that’s why I had to try and get one (after seeing it in the flesh). Just got to keep my head down and push on with work so that I can keep it. It will be good to have one in a light colour as all the ones in the dark colours hide the GTE’ness. Have you decided on the spec of your interior yet? Plenty of carbon I hope!
Gav
Do you know what it weighs Gav? I assume some of the body panels are carbon so it should be a tad lighter than an S say?
