The Evora is the biggest milestone for Lotus since the Elise was born 13 years ago. This hand-built sports car will be available from early 2009 with a price tag of less than £50,000.

The new Lotus Evora is everything a sports car should be; sculptural, stylish and fast; considerably faster than the famous Elise and more refined at speed than the track-focused Exige. Lotus promises its trademark exemplar performance credentials and suggests the Evora will achieve a maximum speed of 160 mph and a 0-60 time at less than 5 seconds!

Less than 2000 will be made a year, making it quit exclusive. Despite the economic crisis there is a very impressive list of celebrities who want one. Yes, we want one as well! Just can’t figure out where to get that £50,000.
