The way this man narrates and drives deserves a Pulitzer prize for spoken word. Great to see the master testing cars again.

[@randypobstofficial]

Well, thank you very much. Had a great time w the Lotus!

[@jamesinoregon1081]

Big praise from a great driver who has tested and driven many cars.

[@FightScienceAa82]

Absolutely fabulous review! Thee very best yet!

[@black350Z]

I owned a 2006 Lotus Elise for 6 years and tracked it extensively. I would always say, "You drive most cars with the steering wheel. You drive a lotus with the pedals." I would typically point it on turn entry and then control yaw with the brakes and/or accelerator. Only my 911 has ever been close to the same feel. Lotus are amazing.

[@mikewozawski1634]

I really hope I have the opportunity to drive one of these always see such great things about these.

[@michaelcords4339]

Hey, Randy! Nice to see you driving the Evora. I have a NA version - not a lot of power but handles well and is fun to track. Hope to see you again at a racetrack somewhere soon!

[@AlbertoDellaRegina]

I have only one question. How did you manage NOT to drive an Evora until now!? :D Hopefully you'll pick up an Emira soon enough when the cars start getting delivered.

[@randypobstofficial]

Yeah, right? Fun, terrific exhaust note, that light agile Lotus feel.

[@nlxsteve]

@@randypobstofficialdidn’t you drive the blue one on MT head to head vs the ZL1?

[@lambrosstamos4494]

Can't wait for your take on the new Emira. Great cars.

[@patrickstarr87]

💙💙💙

[@sickjohnson]

That was awesome Randy, and that was one of the heaviest cars they made....just imagine one of the lighter ones with that power!

[@Frigobar_Ranamelonico]

Can't wait to se a lightweight electric car from lotus

[@77Sunsetstrip]

Looks like fun

[@andrewveitch1874]

Lucky you to have the track to yourself, I own the 21 GT liquid yellow 1 of 1 in the US with options, is it worth it to fly to Atlanta to do the lotus experience? I’ve been to the GT500 track attack and the Porsche experience both free and lasted half a day, but the lotus experience is only a few hours with just a few laps seems like a teaser…

[@none8258]

Simplify and add lightness!

[@CiottiFPV]

I would LOVE to get some FPV drone footage at AMP (or wherever to be honest) next time you’re making one of these amazing reviews

[@kenthall2861]

Randy, where did you get that collar that was on your steering rack on the Flying Moose? The one that when it came loose gave your volvo a vibration. Thanks

[@johncarlo2630]

I’ve owned 2 Evoras, great cars

[@Nobody-dc8dp]

Why did you have to go through 2?

[@MauroFurtadoMaciel]

Randy Probst and Paul Walker 🙏👑

[@chemicalspore]

I want to see you put the new Emira to the test. That would be something.

[@rkwjunior2298]

1:30? Thats only 3 seconds slower than the viper ACR lap?

[@racesuey]

I can't believe that 3000lbs is considered light now haha despite being a Evora Owner.

[@nobodynoone2500]

My 1800lb civic says hello.

[@441rider]

In bikes the myth was 10lbs equals 1hp. Not sure but there were 125mph 50cc racers once.

[@49walker44]

How does 1.30 stack up against the track record? I'm a fan of Randy's and know his history as a great driver, just wondering how the car performed.

[@wil_leighton1618]

GT4s are faster

[@rkwjunior2298]

I just looked it up. A viper ACR did it in 1:27.

[@rkwjunior2298]

​@@wil_leighton1618 Show us the lap times

[@rkwjunior2298]

​@@wil_leighton1618 A 981 Gt4 club sport did a 1:32...lol

[@wil_leighton1618]

@rkwjunior2298 , cool, but that doesn't mean anything. And yes I'm sure an ACR has done a 1:27, but those aren't official record attempts. For example Chevy did a record attempt at AMP with a c7 grand sport and ran a 1:25. You can just search for it one youtube. I ran a 1:28.5 in my '20 gt4 pretty easily.

[@CarGuy11]

Any word on when they will get Emira?

[@brois841]

next year

[@acceleratedauto]

Reliability? Mine is at the dealership because of that o so reliable engine. When it does run it is freaking amazing.

[@indianapwn3s]

Sounds like you have a lemon. I haven't heard of many engine problems on any generation Evora. Mine has been solid.

[@christianbuczko1481]

I prefer the elise, but the evora is a nice car.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Looks like a mini Lycan. Fun round to watch with a racers commentary👍

[@jessejohnson9871]

I'm 6'4" 230...will I fit?

[@rjung_ch]

I'm 6'2" and I didn't fit in previous model...pretty sad, what a nice car.

[@brois841]

Emira is a much larger car than the Evora... you'll fit

[@jmolin8808]

@@rjung_ch Certainly not the Evora. The Evora GT has more room than my 6'3", 34" inseam friend knows what to do it. He can barely touch the pedals with the seat pushed back. -There are spacers under the seat rail you can even remove to lower the seat even further.

[@dogtag114]

Depends on where your height is, my sons are 6’5” and fit with a helmet. My father is 6’2” but ALL his height is freakishly in his torso and he’s closer to the roof. There is leg room for days, that won’t be an issue.

[@indianapwn3s]

The Evora was designed to fit the then CEO of Lotus. He was 6' 5"

[@sanora80261]

So… when are you going to get a 2023 Corvette? It wont be understood till you sp[lain it!

[@none8258]

Randy Pobst is faster than me

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

...said everyone. 😁😁😁

[@theanomalous1401]

and All of Randy's fans said! ME TOO❗

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

One of my dream cars. But I'm 6'7" so.....

[@nobodynoone2500]

Oof. But if it's your dream car, mod it to make it work for you. Its just a car, your experince is what matters. They cut the top off of a Toyota 2000gt for the bond actor who was too tall. This is a cool car but not quite 2000gt cool. You'll be fine.

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

@@nobodynoone2500 So your plan is to cut the roof off, drop the floor pan, extend the footwell, find a smaller steering flat bottom wheel and reprogram the computer to ignore the missing air bag? Now go back to your room and think about what you've done. I'm not mad...just disappointed.

[@brois841]

@@nucleargrizzly1776 I'm 6'2" and when I sat in the Emira it had room to spare, LOTS of it. With the seat pushed back I could barely reach the pedals and there were plenty of inches to the roof, even with a helmet I'd have extra space. This is before they dropped the seat another 15-20mm or so. I bet you'd fit pretty well.

[@Epik-hm8ws]

The Evora is build to fit very tall people. You will probably fit. 6‘5 people don‘t even have a complaint so 6‘7 should be doable.

[@nucleargrizzly1776]

@@Epik-hm8ws My head was jammed up against the headliner and when I'd let out the clutch my knee hit the steering wheel. I could either steer or shift gears. Not both.

[@thefridgeman]

For all the "wannabe" racers: watch how he holds the wheel and steers. Capisci? What you can see on Instagram or KZbin, blows your mind...(hands at 3 and 9, fingers wrapped across and the thumb too, on the spokes at 3 and 9).

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

Seems like a turbo would be a better fit for it..... The V6 would be good at spinning up a mid sized turbo. You'd get more hp and tq for the same boost level, and it would pull wayyyyy harder. And it would make use of the high revs better than a supercharger. You would be able to change the boost far easier as well. Tune it so it still has 400hp but jumps the tq up to 400+.

[@indianapwn3s]

The transmission can't handle that torque.

[@darren4747]

The supercharger is good as it provides linear power delivery which helps keep the car balanced

[@Rick1984FL]

It’s alright I guess…
