    All lotus cars should come with the f1 style stickers and paint looks amazing

      They allready did! You can get the Evora with F1 style, like the one Ayton Senna drove. :O

    "It's partly dry and partly wet"
    6 words that sum up England perfectly

    I've only ever seen 2 Evoras in person. Always very impressive, they are so small and low.

    I notice whine in a lot of race cars which are not present in the 'standard' production version of the car. Is this transmission whine?

    • @arjuhama
      @arjuhama 9 років тому

      +Quertreiber(QT) I thought it came from the supercharger.

    The gearbox sounds at low speeds are on the one side horrible and on the other side so extremely nice! :-)

  • @michaelsmith4387

    According to the Cosworth website, they build this engine in different specs, up to 495hp naturally aspirated. Air restrictors change output levels based on class. One hell of a motor!

      Supercharged....not NA.

    • @michaelsmith4387
      @michaelsmith4387 9 років тому

      +Craig U search the Cosworth website, it states Naturally Aspirated in the second line of engine specifications. Not supercharged. The whine you are hearing is from the straight cut gears in the transmission. Search "cosworth 2gr" on Google and it will direct you to their website

    • @michaelsmith4387
      @michaelsmith4387 9 років тому

      +Craig U The first comment I had stated that the engines we rated for up to 495hp, not necessarily this particular car.

      Michael Smith you wouldn't know where one could purchase the cosworth 2gr-fe? I've looked everywhere. even emailed cosworth themselves, no reply

    • @michaelsmith4387
      @michaelsmith4387 8 років тому +1

      I do not. I believe they discontinued the 2gr evo program, but I'm not positive

  • @Knezicdex

    I would much rather buy and build a racecar then dish out ~150k euro for a done car. Anyways, I hope I can afford to have a racecar one day and drive it on circuits.
    Good video, subscribed.

    I believe here in the US it's GTE not GTP and I know a team used to run an Evora GTE in the ALMS a few years back. I did a little research and as it turns out there was a GTP class in the ISMA WEC but that was back in the 80's and those cars were more closely related to Group C cars or modern Daytona Prototypes than the current GT classes of cars. I don't want to sound hypercritical I just wanted to point that out.

    • @v_alexiadis
      @v_alexiadis 10 років тому +2

      Racing tyres are measured differently. I think the sidewalls are in mm while for road tyres it's percentage.

    • @tmh44
      @tmh44 10 років тому

      Huh, good to know--the rear tires seemed to have 'normal' dimensions.

      It does not have a sc, it's the straight cut gears in the tranny ;)

    video reported for being misleading. all he did was cruise around the track!
    on a good note. did away with the toyota 1.8L engine, and went for a V6 makes sense. better engine, still fits as its smaller length wise

    • @Malc180s
      @Malc180s 10 років тому +4

    much cheaper than the aston GT4... probably faster too

    but for that much money you can get something faster like a gt3 or gtr...

    • @joeweaver5712
      @joeweaver5712 10 років тому +4

      This car would annihilate both round a track and also in a straight line GT3 no chance, probably very close with GTR given very similar hp/w ratios. It's for those people looking for a hardcore racer, not a road car that can sometimes be taken to the track...

    • @CaldeAilis
      @CaldeAilis 10 років тому +5

      I believe it's the regulation. Exige V6 road car being lighter makes no sense. A proper race car should be always lighter than a road car with the same engine if not restricted. And if it IS the regulation, a lot of weight should have got put on the front and that should have given better balance to the car.

    • @CaldeAilis
      @CaldeAilis 10 років тому +2

      And I know Exige V6 has rally version and it is also heavier than the road version because of the regulation.
