Earlier in the year, Proton’s Malaysian parent company, DRB Hi-Com, unveiled a £100m investment in Lotus and a plan to break even by 2015 but, to do this, it needs to sell 3,500 cars a year.
For Lotus to make it, they have to sell 4x's as many Evora's world wide, than Porsche sells 911's in the USA (please check my math).

If I recall correctly at least half of all Porsche sales are in the US, meaning the Evora would have to outsell the 911 by 2:1 world wide..........................anyone else see a problem here?

Is the picture as dark as I've painted it, or are my numbers really that far off?

Going off the chart below for reference numbers. Note that Lotus is not even on the chart.
