That is also a stunning example, most of the ones I've seen were falling apart, especially the interior. I contemplated the Evora on multiple occasions, first the S and the later 400 in particular, even attended the Tokyo launch a few years back but there
As some of you are probably aware in the meantime I am looking for a fun car to complement the more practical, family hauling machinery (not boring by any stretch of imagination but different). The Renault Alpine A110GT has already passed the test (see he
Beside manual transmission I had a set of unusual requirements due to parking space limitations, no more than 190cm wide which ruled out some nice cars (z06, r8 v10). 911s were ruled out early because I already owned one, driven many and they have become
But I drove Ferraris, Porsches and other high performance cars. Against all them, the driving experience in the Alpine - for me - is 2. to none! I did not buy it because I needed a car with some practicality - e.g. skiing, etc. which is impossible with th

My Evora S, from the 1st series, is now in continuous every-day-use since 2010. There were some niggles sorted at the beginning under warranty, but since then it was just an annual service (and one "rebushing" of the suspensions). After 220'000 km it is s
I expected more than it delivered. The clutch was quite firm, making the driving experience unfriendly. Later another dealer said that was unusual and must have been the fault of the particular car. I also found the cabin a bit claustrophobic so didn’t pu
Having some time at my hands always leads to the what if game. While we do not necessarily need an extra car at the moment there’s the desire to perhaps experience something new and broadening the perspective. A bit like with watches - few of us need any
