Juve is still a mountain regardless, and all the other Serie A clubs are mere hills.

The fact that they aren’t in chronological order irks me.

Is that first image supposed to be Totoro as a raccon?

They mainly compete in niche markets ( track toys, small race cars ) which usually don’t cost much. Without a huge markup a low volume automaker can’t make very much in return, but if they priced their cars in Ferrari/Porsche/Lamborghini territory nobody would choose them over the competition.

With the engine in the Ferrari 488 GTB turning out as good as it has ( many were skeptical when it was announced ), I’ve been expecting others to follow suit with small turbo V8's. perhaps even Lexus will follow that path.

Not being independent limits the options I’m sure, but otherwise they can only do it if the other automakers ask. Maybe nobody is asking anymore.

Historically Lotus is all about small light track oriented two seaters. I have no problem with them making the Evora, I just wish there was a more 911 gt3-esque version.

I wouldn’t care if they started selling mini-vans, coke and children if it meant a new Esprit and US market Elise/Exige.

Meeting US safety reg’s, while staying under 900kg could get tricky. I wouldn’t be surprised if they came to the US with some little piglet Elises carrying a few extra kg’s. At least the engines are likely to be legal from the outset.

sweet! I have ideas...

I don’t even think there’s a business case to build one, but I can dream.

I figured as much. It’s not a bad car, but it’s not exactly a Lotus type car.

It’s a beautiful car, but its a bit “domesticated” by Lotus’ standards. Is the Evora 400 more track oriented than the original? I’m not well read about it.

They get bought a lot... Probably not a great business strategy though.

I don’t really think of Lotus as being the same as those three.

Absolutely, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the thumbnail. Very similar proportions.

How?

For me, I would try not to pick two games from the same genre or developer.

If only Arshavin “had it” more then one or two days every five years, he’d really have been something.

The Rio Olympics have been so thoroughly fucked-up I’m not sure I’m capable of believing that it wasn’t intentional.
