First Road Impressions Of The Lotus Evora GT410 Sport

in ,

A few weeks ago Lotus invited me down to try out some of their cars. Unfortunately we were blessed with some pretty awful weather, however you've got to seize the chances you get and off I went with the Evora to see what it's all about. I have to say the road experience was a bit different to on track and I gelled with the Exige a bit better. That being said, it's still a brilliant car. The interior feels a bit dated when you compare it to other manufacturers but the driving experience is top notch. The manual gearbox combined with the supercharged v6 make this one of the most involving cars on sale at the moment. Check out my video below for the full story.

Lotus invited me down to Bicester to take the Evora GT410 out for a spin on the local roads. It's a shame it was soaking wet but still a fun drive. Hope you enjoy the video.
