After watching the first episode of Top Gear Season 13 I had to find more about the Lotus Evora. This car looks fantastic and seems to perform as quite a capable track car. With a V6 from a Camry wedged into a much smaller car it looks like a bunch of FUN.

According to Clarkson it is so much more refined than the other Lotus of the past. It is actually a lotus you could daily drive.

Power will comes from a Toyota 3.5-liter V-6 with variable valve timing, tuned to produce 276 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, and Lotus says the car clears the 0-to-60-mph sprint in less than five seconds and tops out around 160 mph. You also get a nice alpine stereo.
