Such a great channel
We agree wholeheartedly – German cars are meant for precision, Italians are
stunning things (even if they do have occasional fire issues a la 458) and
British sports cars are… a little rough around the edges and that’s why
we love them so.
Noble, Ascari, Ariel, Caterham, Morgan, BAC. He forgot to mention McLaren.
Better. Drove the Cayman S and the Evora (not S). The Evora was both more
connected and exciting. To be honest, when I got out of the Cayman, I was a
little bored. Picks up speed, but you don’t feel it and there is a drumming
like a slightly open window at 60 in top. Apparently the all do it but only
some folk are sensitive to it. I’m in my 40’s now. A Middle aged man in a
Lotus looks like an enthusiast, the same guy in a Porsche looks like a
crisis! I’d plump for the less obvious choice.
What is it with you brits? Huh? Why are you guys so good at making car
reviews? Do they teach you this in school? While youre in your mummies
belly? Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Evo, Chris Harris on Drive, even Car Buyer…
and now XCar. Keep it up guys, great videos
Of course we love McLaren also. Our recent review of the 12C explains why
we see it as more than ‘just’ another supercar. Go check out the video.
If I had the money to get any kind of expensive car, a Porsche wouldn’t
even ever be a consideration for me. Completely uninterested in them. If I
wanted a small, light, mid-engined sports car Lotus would definitely be one
of my top choices easily.
The Italians fixed the 458 problem quickly… The brits became cocky and
tried to replace the whole Lotus range, and yet no new models to date…
Great as always
Did you try the Evora? What did you think?
The Exige is Lotus’ most hardcore model. It’s the keenest handler and the
maddest. Same power as the Evora, mind.
Mohamed, I once compared the Elise SC to the Cayman S, and went with the
Elise SC. The little Lotus had soul, an intangible way of connecting with
you that cannot be described. Pure emotion. When I sold the Elise SC (the
roads where I live just cannot support something as raw as the Elise), I
looked at Aston Martins, Porsche 911s, and some American performance cars
(Vette, Viper). Again, without fail, Lotus delivered another winner. I
bought Evora and never looked back. Everyone loves it.
This guy is going to be the next Jeremy Clarkson. He’s charismatic and
speaks well. Well written segment, mate!
They need to get aggressive and bring down the price then….
I think you need to keep on learning how to drive fast. It would improve
your reviews.
Oh yes, I forgot. The brakes!! Wow. It stops.
The Evora is head and shoulders above the Porsches in handling, steering,
braking feel, efficiency. And it’s more distrinctive. Its a car for
drivers. If you want to cruise, play with electric seats and dual-zone
climate control, and do the occasional fast B-road blast, the Porsches will
be more than adequate. But not in the same league as the Evora.
agreed. The showroom is finally opening next month and so far the lotus is
winning out
well they are finally opening next month.
Great review and great music. Anybody know title?
Hey guys! Keep on with those videos! Amazing work! Cheers from Poland! :>
4:01 2012 like scene. You guys should have tried out for the 2012 filming.
Just kidding. Lotus has been one of my favorite brands, and sucks that it
wasn’t in the Shanghai Automotive Show this year. You guys are awesome, and
my favorite video has been about the Lotus Exige S, and the Evora S seems
pretty cool too, but with less power, but at such high end, it doesn’t make
a huge difference.
whats the music at 0:23?
What is the song that starts at 0:23?
No track ID as yet? I would be truly grateful.
yes.
Im in love! Such a beatiful car!
The best Lotus belong to Esprit 🙂
For us it’s largely subjective (as all reviews are), but the Cayman offers
incredible feel and awesome driver involvement, where as very few things
handle like a Lotus… Have you driven them both? What did you think?
Excellent review as always.
Lotus all the time!
