Lotus Evora now available in Malaysia

Lotus Malaysia today officially launched an all-new Lotus sports car ever since the Elise - spawning the many sporty variants - which debuted in 1995. Being a 2+2 mid-engined coupe, the Evora is unique in that it is one-of-its-kind with a rear bench that fits two, albeit only small kids. Prices range from RM443,480 to RM490,210, excluding insurance - for a 3.5L VVT-i V6 (Toyota's 2GR-FE) powered sports coupe, available with only standard 6-speed manual transmission.

Claimed performance figures are 5.1 seconds to the century dash and a top whack of 261 km/h with a claimed fuel consumption of 11.5 kms/litre.

From Porsche Boxster to Cayman in 3 months!

This is a little hobby project I had taken up since I got my first Porsche this year. It consumed all-in-all about 3 months (and quite a sum as well!) before this end product: a hardtop coupe i.e. Cayman 2.7 look-alike. Hence the new badge! :)

Well, a little nip & tuck plus facelift did do wonders to hide better a vehicle's age, much like a person...no?
By the way, the coupe you see above may be for sale if the price is right. Hmmm...a larger displacement 911 (997 series) would be nice, in the 'evolution' of things!

Email me at forwheels@gmail.com if you're interested. (Sorry, for sale in Malaysia only)
