Month 9 running a Lotus Evora S: final report and goodbye to the Evora The aftermath of Dany Bahar’s plan to take Lotus back to the big time might, to him, feel like the fuzzy waking moments after an epic night of consumption – ‘There’s a picture of me and Swizz Beatz on Facebook? I should call Bob Lutz about ...

This is the new 2013 Lotus Evora Sport Racer. Available in either standard Evora or supercharged 'S' form, the Sport Racer gets unique paint schemes, a wealth of optional extras thrown in – and a price cut to boot. Usually, less is more with Lotuses. But this Evora gives more, for less? Indeed it does. Starting with those paint schemes, ...

There’s a lot of smoke blowing around right now on the subject of Lotus and whether it has a future. I don’t have the inside track on this, but the amount of mud-slinging from commentators and the reciprocal mud being chucked back by the Hethel PR machine suggest something is ‘going on’ Anyone who loves cars should love Lotus, and ...

As rumours swirl about the future of Lotus and its boss Dany Bahar, one senior executive remains fully committed to the Norfolk car maker. The only problem New York rapper Swizz Beatz, 'vice president of creative design and global marketing at Lotus', seems to have is how to fit his ‘entourage’ (every rapper must have one) into his two-seat company ...

Having staid the executioner's blade from above the Evora and delayed its Elan replacement until at least 2016, Lotus is now pushing ahead with a new range of Evoras. Unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show was the most powerful Evora (and road-going Lotus) ever, the GTE, and a revised Evora and Evora S. So how much power does the ...

Lotus will show the most sporting, toughest Evora yet - the GTE Road Car Concept - at the 2011 Pebble Beach car show this week. As the name implies, it's borne out of the Evora GTE race programme, which sees Lotus's mid-engined 2+2 compete at races across the globe, culminating in the 24-hour race at Le Mans. Lotus GTE Road Car ...

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...
Lotus Renault F1 test driver Bruno Senna took us for a spin up Lord March's front drive at the recent 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed preview day. Watch the video of Ayrton Senna's nephew driving Tim Pollard in a Lotus Evora S in our video player above. It's a rough 'n' ready clip, so we apologise that we lopped off the top ...

In the avalanche of hype surrounding Lotus's future ambitions, the current range of Lotus vehicles has been largely overlooked. With this in mind, Lotus has turned to an unexpected source to inject some media buzz and visual freshness into the Evora for the 2011 Geneva motor show: Mansory. Under the slogan 'Is it always wise to customise? If you must then do it with some style' Lotus ...

I’m all for the proliferation of supercars. If there were more Ferraris, Porsches, big-money BMWs and mercurial Mercs on our streets, our roads would be far more cheerful and interesting. I also generally find supercar drivers reverentially law-abiding. On the wide three-laners, Ferraris invariably seem to be barp-barp-barping in the slow lane, leaving the Transits and Astravans to provide the ...
