Just out of interest, how has the Evora been selling? Has it been selling as well as Lotus had hoped? I still have not seen another on the road (other than a planned meet)
I think it's no secret that it hasn't sold as well at Lotus have hoped; I don't think I've sold that many but it's more than anyone else! A great car though, it just needs more cars out there and "bums on seats" for people to see. Lots of things coming to- and having driven the IPS (Auto) and the S, I can confirm that both are very good - and the Auto S, when it comes, will be superb...rapid....
Graeme,
You know I keep asking but is there any word on a cabrio?

They won't be doing a cabrio....auto and S are peanuts to develop compared with it, and all funds going into the new cars......my take on it!

Just had a look at Pistonheads and the supercharged cars for sale have stock Evora wheels? I liked the wheels on launch pics of supercharger, are these coming later?

I think these are 19" wheels in the launch pics but are available as optional extras.
If I am wrong I'm sure Graeme will correct me.

Looking at the Lotus Evora website it appears the 19" will be standard but Stealth Grey

so suspect you are right that the 20" will be available as an optional extra.

The 20''s are an extra £2.2k I think. Pricey!

The 20" wheels are indeed an option, but everyone will want them; they also come standard with the new Rossa Corsas developed with Pirelli, as opposed to the stock 19" wheels with the standard P Zeros as previously fitted to Evora (having tried both "in extremis" I can confirm they have more grip....!)
All the dealer demos being delivered have been ordered with 20" wheels but delivered with 19"s so far, 20"s to follow - the cars are ready before the wheels, and the holidays and snow have got in the way. Expect to see them on the demos v soon...I got mine today but haven't even seen it yet, up to my neck in selling cars, believe it or not.

Does that mean that we aren't the last to buy an Evora from you? Looks like you are going out in style
