I can see the back-end of the Evora clearly. Now then, I wonder if they'll put it a Cosworth engine...

hah, overall it looks great...although that massive extention on the rear diffuser makes it look like it was meant to be a longtail, but they forgot to extend the top of the body to match
any technical specs? |

Damn, that Evora looks gorgeous! Of course, the back of the canopy should be extended!

While I like the updated Subaru BRZ, it's sucks that Mooncraft can't afford an engine other than the Nissan V8.

In Kouta Sasaki blog, he says that he races as a rival of SUBARU.
So, he won't retire. http://ameblo.jp/kouta339/entry-11974911515.html |

Speaking about the mother chassis:
I am curious about the the mother chassis engine Is SGT-Evora engine for Mooncraft team(#2) is only one engine that can choose (GTA badged Nissan V8 engine) and why mother chassis cannot used other engine as well??? Can everyone give me a reason here??? Then If mother chassis engine is only one choice, why Mooncraft team want to use Lotus Evora in Mother chassis category instead of (JAF-GT or JAF-GT300) category so that Mooncraft can choose whatever engine that they want. And the last question, is that JAF-GT300 is only for Japanese car or not? |

Conventional JAF-GT300 technical regulations 5.1 (engine) says,
"An engine from another model of car can be mounted if it derives from the homologated or registered vehicle of the same manufacturer." JAF-GT300MC regulations eased this regulations. It's possible to use GTA badged engine for JAF-GT300MC. Lotus doesn't have own proper racing engine. So GTA engine is logical choice. Japanese/Asian automobile manufacture which doesn't have racing engine can participate in SGT by JAF-GT300MC car. |

Will this engine and the chassis is acceptable ( My answer should be not, because JAF-GT300 is only for Japanese car one) Last edited by AkioAsakura95; 9 Jan 2015 at 12:24. |

I've never been a fan of Lotus or Evora. But that rear is insane.
