Lotus Evora: the best driver's car in the world?

Yes, our Autocar source article says "UK's best driver's car". However, the Brits are excellent judges of great cars, partially because their B-roads are such great tests for any car's overall handling prowess. In addition, the UK market has access to many great, European-oriented cars that we here in the US do not have the privilege to drive and therefore, the English magazines' test samples are usually more varied than ours.

During a comprehensive test comprising 10 rivals at the Goodwood circuit, nine out of ten Autocar judges placed the recently-launched Lotus Evora as their favorite, calling the new Lotus things like "the best handling car here" and a “totally brilliant handling day car; stable, adjustable, quick, forgiving, flattering.”

The Evora beat out Autocar's 2008 winner, the amazing Nissan GT-R on its way to claiming the title. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage came in second, with the new Porsche 911 GT3 and the Nissan GT-R closing out third and fourth. Great company for the Lotus if there ever was one.
