I mean. I'm never gonna buy this, nor reccomend it to anyone. Ever. If I need a topless 50+ Sports car, I'll take an Audi A5 and never think about this car. Kinda repetitive with the Elise if it's a two seater though. I’m filing this story in the “Why would I ever care” catagory. I mean. I’m never gonna buy this, nor reccomend it to anyone. Ever.

I can't imagine how hideous the Evora could've been if it had rear seats and a convertible form. This is good news, lightness is the key. Although, with all the strengthening materials, the weight shouldn't be reduced by much, but it's still the way to go. Props Lotus. Finally someone decided to use their brain.

Guess we shouldn't expect a Lotus sedan or SUV anytime soon.. and that's a good thing!
