sold thr 991 S in June and finally replaced it with this Lotus Evora S -IPS. very good deal and Lotus threw in $4k as i already own a Porsche. test drove a base & was very impressed but got the S because it was there & the supercharged Torque should be amazing:








here it is before i removed a bit of wrap

 

Would like to hear some comparisons between the two? Also, what was your reason for leaving the family?

 

i still have my GTS so there is still a Porsche in the driveway.

i think this will have more feeling and connection with the road and steering communication. everything i have read about the suspension is blows you away.

i was in a test in montreal and we went on a clover leaf - very rough road and very fast on the ramp but the back end didn't bounce, hop, move, or anything like that. it absolutley stunned me.

 

Here's a CaymanR/EvoraS comparo -- due to the mid-engined nature, those are the two that usually get compared. Interestingly enough, they give the steering feel nod to the Porsche.

great review. i can't believe i haven't come across that in 6 months of reading?????

they had a really nice PDK'd 2014 Cayman S that i was looking at but i just couldn't get as exicted about another Porsche w/o at least trying the Lotus. as well, those back seats in the Evora do ad some versatility.

 

Nice looking car. Enjoy.

 

didn't i see you just bagged a deal on a C2?

these Lotus' come in with lousy leasing. the residuals are rough as over here at least no gaurantee on that value. in Vancouver may be more robust so a residual there makes them friendlier.

 

Congrats! Great looking car! Is the backseat smaller than that in the 911?

Did you pick it up from Gentry Lane in Toronto?

 

Nice car, great lines.
