I always say Lotus Evora is the spiritual successor of the first gen NSX - Light weight, mid-engine, RWD, good manual (with a no one care auto option), minimal.

I bought a 2021 Evora GT two weeks ago, had 1,060 miles on it, black with sick gold rims. I was looking to buy an old 1990s Esprit Turbo, always loved them, rare, unique. I stumbled across the Evora, had never even heard of it or seen one and I live in Miami, COOLEST car I had ever seen, the styling, then read over performance, and price at $100k, I bought the car 2 days later without ever seeing it, driving it, was at dealer about an hour away, delivered it to me. In last 20 years I have had boxster, 911, C5 vette, and 2006 Aston Martin Vantage first year it came out. Nothing compares to the Evora, got on empty expressway, floored it up entrance ramp, seconds later 110 I looked down was doing 110, thought I was going about 80!!! Doing 100mph in this car feels as smooth, stable, under control as if you were going 50, handling simply unbelievable. I never put my windows up, because The sound of that engine and exhaust even at 30 mph is greatest sound I have ever heard. I feel bad for every guy with a Porsche or even Ferraris, because they probably never even knew about an Evora, and spent 2-3x as much for their “sports” cars that everyone has in Miami, that my $100k Evora equals or exceeds, and has styling that just screams bring it on in your automatic Ferrari.

My Evora S was a daily driver for 3 years in the UK, commuted 60 miles a day, several track days and loved every minute. Not a single break down VS Range rover, BMW and Audi which have all cost me a fortune to fix and keep on the road. I also sold it for what I paid with an extra 3 years/ 25k wish extra miles on it. Awesome things. It was also great for my son (6 months-3 years) in the rear seats. Trying to get in a 410 GT Sport at the moment in the UK but prices staying high.

It was a terrific opportunity to drive this sports cars on a historic track. My favorite in this order was the Ferrari F430, the Lotus and the Z06. The Lotus was the lightest best go cart handling vehicle there. It was being used by the driving school at Laguna Seca because they handled so well and had the Toyota drive train which was bullet proof. Know a guy with the Evora 410...fantastic sports car.

Love my Evora 400, bought new in 2017, minimal issues and just magic to drive.

Every car enthusiast needs to own a Lotus at least once in their lives.

What an awesome machine! Lotus is one of the last manufacturers to really understand how to build a real driver's car.

I have a 2017 yellow 400 6sp used for short fun drives only. The outrageous sound and manual makes it fun even in normal traffic. But, you will find any road to hear the engine scream at redline while feeling like a supercar. Even for a few minutes. The thrill lasts until your next drive. You should have a second car for normal driving. Or a bicycle after your license is suspended. It gets a lot of attention, which is good and bad. Servicing costs will scare you, but it’s reliable and well built. One drive will hook you.

That engine is about as smooth as 24 grit sandpaper, laggy and heavy. Or a turbocharged 4 cylinder from literally any manufacturer. The 2GR-FE is at least smooth, refined and very reliable.

They can't even bother to pronounce company names properly (Aisin, Caterham, etc.). Typically American.

Man you guys have to be the most clear, concise and educational car reviewers ever.

This channel and Throttle House are the two best car review channels on KZread. Change my mind.

This is my dream car and my goal is to buy it in 3 years and I'll be in my 30's. I've wasted my 20's with no sense of direction, devoting my energy to a girl who never loved me. Bought her a present for $6,300 and she barely acknowledged it. This car speaks my personality. Manual transmission, mid engine, RWD, forced induction, light weight chassis and a minimalistic design for the purists. It is a flashy car but you have to know how to drive it unlike many modern imposter sport cars. It compliments the racing simulator I built in my nerd cave. I'd consider it an accomplish when I acquire it and it will be a middle finger to the depressing phase of my 20's. Today is 1/20/2023 and I'll come back and update this comment when I buy it.

I suggest you guys get an Evora and drive it as your daily for a month or two. You may be surprised. It’s a perfectly good daily driver, it’s much more comfortable than my Boxster, it’s great on a road trip.

Agreed. I think Mark is wrong to call it a one-trick pony; it does EVERYTHING right!

Damn, you can tell instantly from that driving footage that this car drives incredibly well. The sound, the connection, the composure over bumps and dips...it's really special that this is a car you can buy new in this day and age. Kudos to you guys for so effectively conveying the sounds and sensations of this machine.

Not always agreed with you guys but on this occasion you are spot on. This is truly the best semi affordable car out there. They sound like nothing else.

What a soundtrack! That alone makes this car special. Wow.

Came here after watching the emira and the enterior In The Evora Gt to me looks so much more nicer than the emira. Wish they could have done a similar design inside the emira as it's definitely lacking.

Its about damn time! This is what I'm saving for. This is the weekend car for everything. Fast blast through the mountains, hpde events, track days.

This review makes me want one all the more! Since I was a boy and saw Lotus cars at my local dealership, I appreciate the race heritage and the focus on lightness.

What an epic car and a brilliant review. I've always heard about the lotus steering

I love the Evora. I was gifted one of those exotic track days and among all my choices I (wisely in retrospect) selected the Evora. My thinking it was a small track and I would better benefit by the smaller and lighter car. I was on par with the normal track time my final lap, hitting over 140 on the main straight. Definitely caught the bug from that. Car was small, uncomfortable and an absolute joy to drive. As a total new guy I tuned the car out completely and it felt extremely natural to me. Looking back, this car very much made me appreciate the brand more than I ever did before. Gorgeous car.

Lotus is a drivers car. I have an a Esprit Nothing else drives like a Lotus. Great review

good to see someone is still putting cars like this out there.

Such a good review that completely understands the intent and value of this car. Also, a big +1 on Mancuso, who sold me my GT. I highly recommend them.

Im glad you like your car, and i am happy to hear you went with Mancuso they have been great to work with.

I had to pause at 3:04. The wiper, turn signal and mirror switch gear are all identical to my 2004 Ford Focus ZX5.

The question is does your Ford have Lotus parts, or does the Lotus have parts from your Ford? 🤔

Just picked up an Evora 400 last week. Thanks for your review. It is spot on with the driving feel. You can do all the research you want but once you get into the car and drive it you will know why people love these cars. That's what happened to me. I drove it for 400 miles straight after I bought it and didn't feel exhausted at all. It's the only car that matches or possibly exceeds the original NSX (my weekend car).

I did the same exact thing about 3 months ago 10 hour drive back and loved it. I had a 2012 Evora S a few years ago but the 400 is a good upgrade.

I am just buying a 2nd car due partly to a SAVAGEGEESE review :-) V8 Redemption and now this, damn! :-) Love it. GT410 Sport EU Spec.

I admit it. Watching the throttle linkage move in the back window makes me smile.

Excellent! I had a Lotus Elise for 8 years and loved it. Kicking myself for ever selling it. I'm glad the Evora has finally reached its potential - great review!

3:10 surprised to near the negative sentiment here. I absolutely love the LED screens. They are low res, sure, but they don't look bad and are super legible. I think it's a nice character trait.

I'm the lucky owner of a European spec Lotus Evora S MY2012 with the automatic gearshift, which I bought new at the time. I came from two Elises. The reasons I chose that over the manual gearshift were two reasons: I drive a lot in the city, with the car as my daily driver, so changing gears is a hassle in stop-and-start traffic; also, Lotus did not have a footrest for your left foot to the left of the clutch pedal. Because of the forward design, the front wheel arch comes into the cabin in such a way that there is simply no space for such a footrest. Consequently, your foot is in constant extension, tiring your muscles. A right hand drive car doesn't have that problem: so as an English car, I believe Lotus just didn't think about that. Anyway, this car is the best car I've ever driven, and having done multiple European road trips, it puts a smile on my face, every time I get in. After 100.000 kms, I can tell you one thing: you do not need another car. Thank you again for a beautiful report!

My 400 is completely trustworthy and feels like it will stay that way. A lot of guys drive them every day but most of us treat them with the respect due a true exotic. It's a fabulous car.

Not only steering; Lotus sets up suspension and chassis tuning like no other brand out there

Amazing and stunning looking car. I really like the seat color combination and especially how they have placed the Lotus emblem on the headrest. There's a lot of people that think these cars are Ferrari's or high end exotics at first glance in person. I've driven past a few of these Evora's around the city with my passengers, who are pretty knowledgeable on cars, that think they have just seen a new Ferrari.

"Hey look over there, that Ferarri.." "Nah man, it's a Lotus" "Ah.. right!"

My dream car is a 400s . I love the 2GR FE engine so much in my modified NA camry. I also own sw20 and planning to 2grfe swap in the future. The sound of this v6 is so good

By far best review I have seen

Dude your videos are the total package. Great dealer relationships, incredible thoroughness, dry humor, and a unique and high quality production value. Loving every video man. Congrats on your success

Great review of the Lotus Evora GT. As a current Lotus Evora GT owner I have to commend you on getting across the absolute passion and driving experience of this car through a video format. This car is in a class by itself. The feeling and feedback you get from driving this car is second to none! Most importantly is that it's accomplished without getting that "Ferrari Anxiety" feeling of when is something going to break and how much will it cost.

Your channel is one of my favorites. The way you guys review things I appreciate thank you

I’ve been thinking about a Lotus for a long time. I’m unable to drive a manual transmission so to know it comes in automatic is cool.

0:47 good music as always, Evoras always looked pretty.

Another brilliant piece of automotive reviewing this! Top notch guys.. Again! 👌🏼

You guys do the best reviews. Thank you so much for your dedication.

Without a doubt the BEST car review channel I have ever experienced. Subscribed for life. Thank you, gentlemen!

Awesome review! There aren’t any full reviews on this car that are done professionally. Excellent job! This car seems so special, I may do a review on it as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

Reminds me of when 'JayEmm on Cars' did an ownership diary series with his Evora 400 when he started his youtube channel few years ago 👌

I love your production quality and values. So professional. I am learning quite a bit watching your channel in video production. Your reviews are informative and fun to watch. Please keep up the great work!

Soooooooooooooooooo happy to see this superb car reviewed by my favourite reviewer. Thanks, Geese! Love my Evora and you can drive this every day; I do about 12000 miles per year in mine. No it's not as convenient as a Porsche, but nor is it so dull and lifeless, as you rightly say. Small point: the designer was Russell Carr, not Richard.

My favorite Camry trim level.

3:35 The passenger can open and close the central vents with their feet. All I need to know. 10/10 review

I love your guys' visual and audio techniques. Makes the videos very pleasant to watch

Thank you for making this video and glad you’ve made the point about Lotus steering feel, Porsche comparisons etc.

It sounds soooooooo good! I had no idea

My uncle had one of these, it was incredibly fun. It is literally like a go-kart for the streets. You don’t feel any electronics between you and the car.

GT430 was an incredible sounding car and this one actually makes me feel something still.

I saw an evora 400 with a crazy wrap on the freeway last Wednesday. First I’d ever seen in public.
