📓 Journals Alex's Verde Ithaca Evora GT Journal

I love your Evora GT for the exact opposite reasons I love my Emira!

Bold colors, and a very unique interior design. It’s “dated” and analog in the best way possible (hear me out). Round gauges, big, tactile switchgear, a “bespoke” motorsport look. It looks like a factory tuner car. I love it! Looking at pictures of your car makes a small part of me question if I should have bought an Evora GT, as I planned to before the Emira was announced!

I can have both an Emira and an Evora GT, right?!?!?!?!?!

I like this description! I have no regrets cancelling my Emira order for my Evora GT. I absolutely LOVE the Emira and would consider a GT or final edition down the line, but getting the Evora was the right decision for me. It's very exotic looking and I like the sportier raw interior. It's more similar to a 981 GT4's interior than the Emira's.

We have a couple forums members with both! If I had the means (and the garage space) I'd certainly consider both! Make the GT a dedicated track monster and the Emira the sexy refined date night car.

I wanted to post more details about my wheels too. I've had some members reach out to me asking so I figured I'd list everything here.

These were custom made by VT Forged. The owner Andy is a good guy and very honest. I had a very bad experience with another wheel company and should have gone with him to begin with. The quality of these wheels are fantastic and the finish is stunning in person. I contemplated style and finish for literally a year before landing on these and I'm so happy I did. They show off the brakes nicely and really fit the lines of my car. They're also lighter than the factory forged wheels! Fronts are ~19.4 lbs and rears ~22.6 lbs IIRC. The finish looks almost matte black in the shade but you can see the handbrushing under the dark tint when the sun bounces off the spokes. I'll post some pics in various lighting below.

I'm not sure if he's done any Emira wheels yet, but let him know Alex (@verdeithaca) sent you if you reach out and I'm sure he'll take care of you: Instagram: VTForged.
