It's all about the rarity.
The blue one is 1 of 6 Right Hand Drive Evora GT350’s the black one is one of only four right hand cars manufactured worldwide
The black one looks a lot like a proper parts bin special, the wheels are odd!!
On another note, The blue one is also lovely!

Are the cars not the same, wheels aside?
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.
....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Track is wider and it's not just wheel offset - I believe that custom suspension arms were developed (unlike the show car, that had hub spacers!) Reasonable amount of cost, therefore, in getting them roadworthy to sell.

I know all that, i was commenting on Corranga's post that the blue car looks amazing but the black one is a parts bin special.
EDIT : There's a great thread on TLF about the cars, i'd have one in a heartbeat.

Odd, Sanj. I don't rate the above pics at all.
Anyway plenty time.
And presumably EVO will get one soon!

Looks really nice in the pictures and sure it will be even better in the flesh.
Just a couple of minor things that grate slightly with the interior:
- Lotus lettering above the sat nav is pure "Max Power" tack
- Not a fan of the font on the speedo as it looks disjointed with some numbers appearing different sizes
Not too sure whether the side lights are DRL's or whether they are the legal regulation for the US market, but they have been integrated nicely. Presume the side indicators for the UK market will be where the UK flag is?

Pics above MUCH better than the terrible press shots. I mean, not technically better, but do the car some justice. Flipped me from a "don't like it at all, would prefer an NA or S" to "Yup, that's stunning!"
