Matt FarahHOST
Uh, "I have a supercharged S 2000 with 356 at the wheels." That sounds spicy.
Matt FarahHOST
Uh, "I have plans on getting into a, uh, Evora GT or a Mira eventually." I don't...
Matt FarahHOST
Okay.
Matt FarahHOST
"I'm looking for back road fizz.
Matt FarahHOST
Am I looking at the right place, or should I expand my options? I've got 100K and I want a stick, and I do not want a car with ADAS." I love an Evo- Uh, uh, I, I do love an Evora GT.
Zack KlapmanHOST
Yeah.
Zack KlapmanHOST
Evora GT is fantastic.
Matt FarahHOST
Pretty-
Tom O'GormanHOST
And I kind of got to watch like what Dave Montgomery and Fred Zust were doing in the first heat.
Tom O'GormanHOST
Because I think those cars are more in the realm of what the Lotus Evora that I was driving is capable of and like... not so much time wise but just in like pace wise i could just it wasn't like watching uh something completely foreign so i i got a little advantage with that too i think um so i led day one by eight tenths and i'm not sure if there's anything else about the day that was particularly stand out other than getting that many runs at that course and i got all my reruns at the finish So I got like full runs.
Tom O'GormanHOST
I got to like enjoy the car.
Tom O'GormanHOST
That was the best part.
13 MINS LATER
Tom O'GormanHOST
Right.
Tom O'GormanHOST
And by the way, Chris put me in XB.
Tom O'GormanHOST
And I was co-driving with Donner Sizemore, who was basically the inventor of the Lotus Evora in autocross.
Tom O'GormanHOST
No one was running Lotus Evoras until Donner popped up.
SeanHOST
They're, they're...
SeanHOST
They say a lot of things, but, um, when we were doing Top Gear, we had a, a comparison test with the C8 Corvette, the Evora GT at the time, the Emira wasn't out, and the Cayman GT4.
Ryan LopezHOST
Yeah.
SeanHOST
And I drove the Cayman GT4 back to back with the Evora GT-
Ryan LopezHOST
Mm
SeanHOST
... and really walked away loving the Evora GT.
Ryan LopezHOST
Mm-hmm.
SeanHOST
I will say the drivetrain is where the Porsche just smokes everything-
David BrownHOST
But of course, it starts rolling.
David BrownHOST
Now, a mate of mine had a manual Lotus Evora that he had the tires changed.
David BrownHOST
And when he got in it, the young millennial hadn't put the brake on.
David BrownHOST
Because he was used to it being automatic.
Tom O'GormanHOST
I don't know if we have solved any problems there, but I wanted to talk about that, especially because people asked about that video and stuff.
Tom O'GormanHOST
But I'm driving Chris Mayfield's Lotus Evora again, but I'm driving it in XB, mostly because he told me to, but also because the PAX is still softer than XA.
Tom O'GormanHOST
And I don't know why I care so much, but I like really, really, really, really want another guitar.
Tom O'GormanHOST
I want a real one, not one that I got because I got second and the guy who gives away the guitar got first.
Marcus VandenbergHOST
to the
Ufuoma ElvisHOST
Lotus Evora.
Marcus VandenbergHOST
Yeah, true.
Marcus VandenbergHOST
They had two plus twos.
Marcus VandenbergHOST
Great.
Ufuoma ElvisHOST
Tell me another car that does the same thing.
Ufuoma ElvisHOST
Like the Lotus Evora does.
Ufuoma ElvisHOST
The
Gareth JonesHOST
I don't get it.
Alex GoyHOST
If you look at where Lotus is now currently, so if we, actually if we rewind to 2021, '22, when the Emira came out, Exige, Evora, and Elise production was coming to an end, and the whole idea was that they were going to reinvigorate the factory with this global car, the Emira.
Alex GoyHOST
That was going to be the sports car that was the heart of Lotus.
Alex GoyHOST
That was what Lotus was good at, and then it was going to build EVs.
SeanHOST
That's up here
NickHOST
... higher mile Evora.
KenanHOST
Great choice.
NickHOST
Which I think captures everything you're going for-
KenanHOST
Good GT car.
FilippoHOST
Or, or a Vig or Evora, like something in that, like, lightweight-
KenanHOST
Yeah
FilippoHOST
... rougher.
Mark RectorGUEST
I, I have, my wife and I have a Jag each, and I've had the Esprit.
Mark RectorGUEST
And, and so I went back to Lotus and I got a Lotus Evora Supercharged, uh-
Jamie KozubHOST
Nice
Mark RectorGUEST
... which is literally within milliseconds of the speed of the Diablo.
