[Gally]

Charcoal and carbon grey!

Lairy colour are for exige's!

 

[Justin]

Carbon Grey is a very nice colour in the flesh, in fact it was a carbon one I test drove. A Lotus needs to be a lairy colour though!

 

[m4rkie23]

carbon grey with red interior....maybe

 

[Justin]

The interior pack (Premium pack) gives the different colours, black leather is standard, and extended leather. Quite pricey though

 

[m4rkie23]

your a walking talking money machine.

get it done

 

[Justin]

Its not worth it. The red interior look alright, but its not quite red enough, almost like a maroon colour. Plus the interior needs to work with the exterior

 

[m4rkie23]

what colours you thinking then?

 

[Gally]

Yeah if it's an extra it's going to cost, I think leather options are usually £1200+ iirc.

£3k for the different leather colour and extended.

Orange

 

[Gally]

The evoras are cracking but do you really want one over a hot exige Justin?

 

[Justin]

Its 10x better. Rear seats (albeit small), more toys than the RRS, comfy, Recaros, easy to get in. V6 makes it torquey aswell.

Exige - been there, done that.

The Exige is far too track focused, uncomfy, small boot, pain to get in and out. Great for a blast, but pretty annoying at other times.

 

[Christopher]

Orange Evora?

Hero.

 

[Justin]

Indeed.. Like this but black wheels :approve:

Recaros FTW>

 

[Gally]

Sexual!

 

[Justin]

Red is nice aswell.. Its the 'free' colour.

 

[m4rkie23]

Orange doesnt do anything for me. Unless the paint looks better than that in real life.

 

[Gally]

Red is my favourite car colour.

Those RS4 seats are the greatest seats God ever invented!

 

[Justin]

Burnt Orange looks good, but only in good lights...

OR..

 

[Justin]

Red is my favourite car colour.

Agreed. They are awesome!

 

[Gally]

How dull does that orange look out of the sun.

Even your lambo looked bright with no sunlight.

Test drove one yet Justin?

 

[Christopher]

Stunning.

Orange with black wheels looks amazing!

Yeah I have, and I know I'm biased, but its the best car I've ever driven. Seriously. There are too oranges, Chrome (similar to the Lambo) and Burnt, which is the darker, more dull one

Persian Blue is nice!

 

[Justin]

Stunning.

Orange with black wheels looks amazing!

A Man with taste!

A car like a lotus needs to be a loud colour IMO.. Some other choices..

Aqua

White

 

[Christopher]

Chrome Orange. Gloss black wheels.

Done.

 

[Gally]

Kinda performance/imperial ford blue.

I like a lot!

 

[m4rkie23]

Aquamarine Blue. Anthracite Wheels.

 

[Englebert]

Undecided if i like them or not! I wouldn't go too lairy on the colour. It's quite an organic shape. It's not loud or aggressive like an Exige, so i'd go for something more restrained. Could probably get away with white though...

 

[Justin]

Chrome Orange. Gloss black wheels.

Done.

Believe it or not, there are no Chrome Orange ones in the UK. The one I posted is a development car (LHD)

Kinda performance/imperial ford blue.

Yeah. Much better than the Silvers/Greys IMO

Doubt I'd ever buy a white car if I'm honest, I'm just not keen on them. Also think you need to drive one to appreciate it. I agree it looks quite understated.

Much prefered it to the various others I've test driven recently.

The black does look quite nice, but looks quite anonymous

 

[Millsy]

That Red one looks awesome tbh.

 

[Justin]

Yeah I like red. Most of the press cars were red I think

 

[Herr Flick]

how much are they?? they look like a £100k+ car in some of those colours/shots!
never been in to lotus cars but that looks great.
performance??

 

[m4rkie23]

£50k iirc

 

[Christopher]

You can buy an off-the-shelf turbo kit for that Toyota engine too. Few zip ties later... monster!

 

[jamesp24]

I drove past a black one today looked nice and stealthy only downside is 280hp.

Its not hugely fast in a straight line, like most lotus' its the corners where it excels. Think it laps the top gear track (if that even matters) quicker than a Gallardo to give you an idea how well sorted it is chassis wise..

Depends what you're after. I test drove a GTR recently all set to buy one, but just wasn't my thing. I can see why people buy them as they are a superb all rounder, but I wanted something a bit more different.

Hugely fast, but no character/soul. Felt like a very fast Automatic to me, hardly any drama.. All my opinion. The running costs are truely scary aswell, and I thanked the salesman for being honest! LOL.

 

[Padso]

Dont buy a black Evora from Preston if you go for one as a customer bent a wishbone and wrecked a wheel on the new car driving it over a kerb at some show.

 

[Justin]

Orange for me! Black is nice, but arsed cleaning it every day!

 

[DynamoDave]

Looks great in the orange dude.

Looks pretty bland in 'normal' colours but the brighter colours make it look a lot more special. Red is nice also.

Having the seats in the back jast makes it that much more practical and easier to live with IMO. Kind of why I had my RX8 over a 370z tbh.

Would love a nosey at it once you get it - Aberdeen meet?

[Justin]

Definately. We'll organise a Cairn O'Mount run in the summer if you like!
