What a relief that first impressions of the new Lotus Evora are good. Very good in fact.
The initial pictures made the 2+2 look slightly fussy but on the stand at least, it looks taught, sophisticated and, best of all, very well finished.
The proportions are spot-on and it manages to fulfil its brief perfectly: to deliver all the usual Lotus qualities to a more discerning clientele that might otherwise hot foot it down to their local Porsche dealer.
The basics are all here, now all it needs to do is show its class on the road and from past experience the boys from Hethel very rarely disappoint in this area.
