Well the latest copy of EVO that landed on my door mat was interesting. Three days late so they could share a Lotus exclusive.
The development name Eagle has not stuck, the all new 2+2/2+0 is the Evora.
There’s 5 pages of pics and details (that I’m just about to digest) but to keep you going:

Hmmmmm-weight??
About the same weight as the out going twin turbo V8 Esprit, that utilised a large heavy steel girder for the chassis. There was me thinking Lotus had gone back to basic’s with low weight cars??? Not sure the 1350kg weight is correct? 1150kg more likely, oh similar weight to my own 1981 Esprit?
But the wait is nearly over, we should all know the name, and all the other technical bits of this extremely important new Lotus, just after 1130 in the morning.
All speculation.
The name will not be Evora, it will be Ethos.
The Evora name is speculative, and non-coincidental it’s spelled EVOra
The name will not be Evora, it will be Ethos.
Bloody Ethos, sounds like a Mazda.
Off to the Motorshow tomorrow so shall investigate

Thought it looked fantastic…but I’ll never be able to afford one!

Well I’m buggered… Ethos sounded so much better… still it makes up for the minging name (which will grow on me) by being as sexy as fook
E-vora (for us Brits)
Ev-ora (for those Yanks)
or
Evo-ra (for the remaining johnny foreigners)
Make a choice ?
They could have picked another name, something like…
“anything would be bl**dy better than EVORA!”
Wasn’t Evora a mistress of the dark ?
Evora sounds pants - should have stuck with Elite or Eclat.
Turns out Evora is also an old town in Portugal. Wonder if anyone at Lotus owns the odd hotel or two there suitable for weeks of lavish launch parties.

What d’you mean just been announced, I announced at the top of this page!
Blooming cheek!

Apparently you can, as Lotus say it’s the ideal next step for current owners.

A boss here has just tried putting a deposit down and was told the first ones will be high spec at circa �60k!

Very pretty but not for me.
When I get to justifying a Family Perfomance Vehicle (I’m working on it ) a 2+2 just ain’t gonna cut it…esp when a tidy E39 M5 can be had for

I’ve read somewhere (don’t ask me where because I can’t find it now ) that B&C have been phoning potential customers with a full spec price around �65k
Nice car and in principle I’d like one but not at that money.
