OK, here’s the verdict you’ve really been waiting for. I’d like to think. Now camping out in the boot is one way of making sure you are first in queue for a drive but here I am in the Renault Megane R26.R, the super hardcore take on the R26 – already one of my favourite cars as it stands. There are lots of impressive stats but for me the £22,960 pricetag is one of the most impressive – amazing considering the car’s potential.
Another favourite of mine is this – the Aspid. The first time I walked past it I gave it a quick glance and thought ‘eugh!’ but CJ convinced me to take a second look after getting very excited by the double disc brake system. Yes, we really are that geeky… Anyway, once the shock of the looks subsided I started delving deeper and the combination of Caterham performance and dynamics, amazing build quality and astonishing technology had me stunned. And then I heard about the sub-3sec 0-62 time.
Check out the interior too and the neat F1 style steering wheel with all the controls and dials incorporated into one unit. And if you go to a track you can even download telemetry from a previous lap by a pro driver and it will flash up braking points on the steering wheel for you. Seriously cool. As is the air suspension system, supercharged Honda engine, wing-like doors – OK, I’ll shut up now.
Then the Lotus Evora. I’m still not totally sold on the looks but after spending a bit more time on the Lotus stand and chatting with a super keen product guy I’m coming round to it. And whatever you think about the outside just look at the interior.
Now that’s unlike any Lotus that’s gone before. I’m hoping that from behind the wheel it lives up to the promise – I can’t wait to find out.
Farbio is another car I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for, this white supercharged GTS looking especially beguiling. And it seems my inclusion of Farbio boss Chris Marsh in an earlier blog has been getting him some attention too. Sorry Chris!
So there you go. A bit of a speed freak’s guide to the show but you can read about the green cars elsewhere on the site!
