No way? You reckon a big old LP640 will be EVO's choice over both the F599 and the GT3?

I think you've spent too much time looking at Radar screens and surfing the 'Net for VW and Audi stuff my brother...

That car hasn't got a hope of coming 1st. Not in EVO.

Martin i only said what i would vote for. You are right that EVO will probably go for Porsche or Ferrari.

But such a big, heavy brute Yannis? Sure, the Lambo looks the business as a guess star in a hip-hop video but other than that (oh wait - it is well priced relative to its competitors) it just doesn't seem to have the flair and exclusivity of a Zonda, the dynamic appeal and passion of an F599 or the outright beauty of an Aston Martin...

No, somehow the Gallardo is what makes Lamborghini great these days and not the big, ugly and brutal Morth...

(sincerely in my opinion of course...)

If you want the driver's car out of those i guess the Lotus gives every other car on the list a run for the money.

It's a larger-than-life kinda car no doubt. It's big, has oodles of charisma and huge presence. But yes, I really think it's ugly.

Yannis, the Elise may be a drivers car but it's not the heavy hitter type in the mold of an F599 or Zonda or LP640 (for that matter)... The point is, you can be a heavy hitter, but you don't have to be a 2 ton fat-ass to do it...
