Really? A 3600 lb Ferrari 599 competitor with a folding hardtop? It may sell, but I doubt it. If I were in the market for a touring car like the Ferrari or an Aston I suspect I'd pass the new Elite over regardless of it's performance. Thoughts?

I think dealers still have new unsold Esprits.....

Colin would be rolling in his grave. Thats not adding lightness. I guess only hp sells these days. Sad.

i was disappointed at the evora's weight.. this is just sad...

Definately not a fan. Why do they have to keep putting the Elite name on cars that dont follow the Lotus ethos (except for the original Lotus Elite).

Folding hardtops are for women and male hairdressers. Bad move Lotus.

Looks a lot like a Hyundai to me. I could see that being the next Genesis, but not a Lotus.

looking it closer, it could pass for a honda s2000 coupe..

but even then, i don't think honda would make an s2000 coupe that heavy. i still can't believe lotus made the evora as heavy as they did.. ridiculous..
