Lotus Evora: Speed and Style

As an Evora owner and Lotus fan I was going to buy this no matter what. It is a beautiful looking coffee table book with a many great photos documenting the history and process of creating the Evora. Unfortunately, the writing is just awful. The text is verbose and repetitive - the same words and phrases to describe the same topic just a paragraph or two later. The author likes to randomly inject their opinion against actually interesting information from interviews with the folks who did the work. Within a chapter topics jump randomly from paragraph to paragraph with no logical flow or reason. The book reads like a rough first draft that badly needs an editor to bash it into shape. Buy it for the pictures. A missed opportunity to tell the story of a relatively unknown and underrated car.

Un beau livre sur la Lotus Evora, de sa création jusqu'à la fin de vie d'une voiture qui méritait un plus grand succés. De belles photos aussi, malheureusement les textes semblent parfois répetitifs, de plus il manque cruellement un chapitre avec les données techniques et les spécifités des différentes versions.

This is a nicely written history and well illustrated. Am glad to see that the publisher seems to moving away from their small, truly inexpensive publications. Photo reproduction quality is not up to the standard of the more expensive automotive histories, but is adequate. I applaud Veloce for the work they are putting into this series.

Vert informative book and well done.
