Lotus Evora ("Eagle" 2+2)

[dsm363]

I love the Evora. If it was Electric, it would be a dream car.

I imagine the Evora is what the Roadster 3.0 will be like. A larger, easier to get in and out of car with 2 tiny back seats but based on the Model S platform of course. And it will look even better.

Impressive that despite its lowly Camry V6 engine (0-60 in more than 5 seconds), the Evora was only 0.3 seconds slower than the Roadster on TG's test track (after accounting for track condition *).

As discussed in other threads, the Roadster's downside is weight distribution. It'll be interesting to see how Tesla fixes that in its next sports car incarnation. The Model S thing of putting batteries in the chassis may not work as well in a sports car type package.


* - See wikipedia for details on track condition time deductions.

How long does it take a cop to get out from the driver's seat if he/she has to chase someone ? Don't forget the equipment they are "wearing" too ! Every crook will get a nice head-start :wink:
