This video inspired me to do some research and eventually purchase my own Evora. 1 full year of ownership later, and I could not be happier. The only dissapointing thing about this car is the fact that I don't think I could ever be truly happy owning another sports car unless I spent a lot more money, which I don't plan on doing. Thanks Doug, keep the videos coming.

What good is all that tech when a "low tech" 911 GT3 is faster, grippier, better responding, more practical, ~600lb lighter, and _less expensive to buy_. A 911 Turbo is *much* faster, even more practical, still lighter, all for the similar money. Both provide a much better brand experience as well, which whether or not you want to admit it, matters when you're buying a car that costs as much as a house. People who don't understand why the NSX bombed don't understand why people buy $200K supercars in the first place. Here's a hint- it's not to have the most "tech".

Now owned by Geeley a Chinese giant. All good now - especially with the Emira being released.

It's worth mentioning that the 0-60 time of 4 seconds you mentioned was with a 345hp/295lb-ft Evora "S" (video car) or the Evora "400" but not the base Evora. The base Evora makes 276hp/258lb-ft and is closer to 5 seconds 0-60 (4.8 according to Car and Driver vs 4.3 for both the "S" and "400" models).

The thing I've always loved about the Evora that Doug didn't mention (perhaps because it's not on ALL of them) is that black trim piece that sits between the wheels on either side. The way it tends to fade into the shadow beneath the vehicle makes it so that you can almost forget that that's a part of the vehicle. If you imagine that it's not, it gives the Evora this aggressive, haunched stance that wouldn't be practical for a sports car (you want that flat bottom low to the ground) but looks so damn cool. Lotus really put a lot of amazing designwork into the beauty aspect of this car, and while I know that isn't all there is to care about, it does make quite a statement when it rolls down the street.

Yes. You just revealed to me a great car. Not for my age any longer... but the sound engineering and aesthetics are all there - together with a very reasonable price. This is a car that will give a smile to her owners... for quite some time. Thank you, Doug.

My beautiful and amazing mistress MK Ultra is correct. The 911's engine is behind the rear axle (rear engine), not between the axles (mid engine). The 718s and 918 don't have a backseat and the rest are front engine.

The rear "seats" are a joke, but the good thing is that you can also buy the Evora as a "2+0", which will cost less than the 2+2 model and have them replaced with a shelf for additional cargo area; also, this will cut out some kilos in weight from the car too.

I don't think if you can (truly...) afford one of these cars you wouldn't have problems in paying the additional registration costs linked to owning a "pure" 2-seats. Fact is, if you can register it as a 2+2 the potential market is expanded to those that can barely afford to lease them, and this is why they still made cars with these back "in-name-only" seats.

@Karl-ej6rs

Another cool thing about buying the 2+2 is if you track the car you can pull the rear seats and utilize the seat mounting points for a bolt on harness/roll bar (it's already got the Recaro seats for a harness from the factory)! This will not work on the 2+0

I did the Lotus factory tour last summer. All hand assembled. Pretty neat to see how they are put together.

That exquisite '97 Focus '00 Mondeo Lotus badged keyfob.

stop complaining about sports cars small back seats, they are there to save you a ton on car insurance vs insuring a two seat car.

Birki gts Yes they help storage space, but their literal purpose is to lower insurance cost.

Seeing those indicator stalks reminded me of my ‘84 Ford Fiesta and the mirror controls, the countless Escorts (Focus predecessor in the UK), Mondeos and Transit vans I’ve driven over the years. I’m really looking forward to the nice bit Lotus will soon be able to borrow from the Volvo parts bin now they are both part of the Geely group.

Good day Mr. Doug!!! I know this video is over a year old, however!!!! I am a new subscriber and I'm really loving your in-depth reviews!! I need a very up front and honest review on the Elise. You mentioned it briefly in this review, but I need the whole story good and bad my friend! I'm thinking about getting one and I am in my " doing my homework" stage right now. You say you even owned one, so you should have even more info than cars you just drive for a day to make a video! Thanks for your time and definitely keep up the awesome work!!!

Doug just can't make fun of any car anymore. No matter how bad it is (not saying the Evora is bad) he loves it.

Always liked the Evora, far too much is made of the whole "Camry engine" thing when as you say - it's a super reliable engine that is more than powerful enough for this car. It's got most of the appeal of the Elise but is far easier to live with, it's got great looks, it's pretty affordable and from an engineering POV the chassis is pretty impressive.

Hahahaha. Exactly!

It might have a Camry block, and some shared Camry engine parts, but it’s got completely different internals, making it be able to reliably rev super high and to give it better acceleration and more of a cool noise. Taking a motor directly out of a Camry and slapping a supercharger on it will def not be the same, is what I’m getting at.

The Fault in Our Cutie Marks basically

You need to review the Evora 400 and contrast how much better it is than the standard car now that you have driven it. The exhaust sound out of the 400 is bonkers. The best statement in the review was your highlight that's the engine is not exotic in the normal sense and that is a GOOD thing for the second hand market that want to actually drive the cars. I'd be shocked if anyone could hear the 400 in person or even video and say it doesn't sound like a pure bread exotic.

@moimoi4725

7 жыл бұрын

the 400 will be much better but this first generation is also fantastic for the price. Evora 400 cost $100k plus. I have a 2013 Evora IPS and I had to change the exhaust for proper exotic sound.
