Motor Trend have published their "First drive" review of the 2011 Lotus Evora supercar. 'Unlike the Coke-bottle Elise and Exige, the Evora slips easily through the air (drag coefficient: 0.33), while its top-exit radiators (in the hood), rear spoiler, and rear diffuser combine for significant downforce at speed. Naturally, it also offers something the Elise and Exige never could: a rear seat. True, it's a small one, built only for children or "5th percentile females" (I think that has something to do with how much they watch "The View"). But it's there (or skip the rear seat if you want and order your Evora with a rear luggage shelf instead). Front-seat room is up conspicuously, so much so that you'll no longer rub shoulders with your passengers.'
