2. Lotus has spent the last few years on a rotating basis uncertain, a situation the manufacturer's plans is not used. For a make so focused on sophisticated suspension and structural integrity, without knowing where you are can cause some chills understandable.
   
   
   Good news then, as a new influx of money has stopped the wave of rumors and innuendo, if not revive the previous plan for the new Lotus models in the near future. After an investment of millions of pounds from the Lotus owner DRB-Hicom, themes were set to the manufacturer troubled enough to stimulate a grant of 10.4 million pounds from the Regional Growth Fund in the UK to develop a plant in Norfolk.
   
   
   Previous to this change, a 5-year plan developed by the previous CEO Danny Bahar had been demolished by the new owners, after a rocky 2012. This decision meant the disappearance of these expected returns as Esprit upgraded and that stable Lotus' would held to three models that are currently producing. That said, this was the result of a 2012 that saw only 80 cars roll off lines Lotus, and in 2013 saw the company that produces many vehicles every two weeks.
   
   
   What does this mean for the Evora? While no changes are planned for divisive 2 + 2 the offer of the company, Europe actually see a version of "Sports Racer" the stretched-to-the comfort Evora. This is the first example of the new plan for the Lotus, one that sees a concentration on the "variants" of the current offers examples that promise "more technology and more performance."
   
   
   Unfortunately, the Sports Racer not really up to the name. Sure, offers some optional features as standard and adds some aesthetic improvements in the form of black trim and stitching only inside, but this is certainly not a runner. The Sport package is the big improvement, offering a red line higher, more aggressive throttle response, drilled brake discs, titanium exhaust tips, a rear diffuser and Dynamic Performance Management system Lotus'. For more technology, the runner Sport gets the updated multimedia system with its touch screen and DVD player 7-inch, too.
   
   
   You can get everything in the Evora S, and also in the Base aspirated version, if you want. And the price between the two is hard to ignore, as you can come close to doubling the cost of entry depending on how it is pleasant when the list of options is slapped on the table in front of you.
   
   
   Fortunately, even according to the shape Evora is a machine stimulating. Saddled with a 3.5-liter V6 Camry small 2 + 2 can make use of its 276 hp and 258 Nm of torque to jump to 60 in just 4.8 seconds, if you have the presence of mind and clarity of vision to choose the 6-speed manual. Going with the automatic IPS will lose 0.2 seconds during the trip.
   
   
   To really get away from Toyota reverbs, go with the Evora S, which straps a compressor for the same engine to boost power to an intimidating 345 hp and 295 Nm of torque. That will be cut 60 sprint up to 4.3 seconds with the manual and 4.5 with the automatic.
   
   
   And since the Evora is so light, it can still manage 28 mpg in basic form. In fact, the same dichotomy performance vs. practicality can be found in the suspension, which allows both steering precision in running speed and a minimum of comfort even on city streets trashed. Look for the same split personality in a Porsche, and you will be called for a chiropractor.
   
   
   Not that Lotus has its drawbacks. The rear seat is a joke and should be deleted for the shelf optional package. Rear visibility is worse and a memory family of old standbys like Lotus Europe original. Finally, engaging as the Evora is, is not a private vehicle. For canyon carving, there are few vehicles out there choose any bid Lotus. For longer distances, the lack of a single pedal is enough to drive away.
   
   
   It 'been a bit' wobbly, but things seem to have calmed down for the brand English / Malay. Light is breaking above sunrise Lotus, and the new day seems very promising. The red skies of the last nights have given way to driving pleasure, and Lotus is still strong.
