I've been a real fan of Lotus since the day I went to a Road & Track event at Laguna Seca. There was a Ford GT, Ferrari F430, Porsche GT, Lamborghini Gallardo, Dodge Viper, Corvette ZO6, Porsche Turbo S and Lotus Elise. 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.

Good luck sir, the newer version sound the bees knees. I love the clean uninterrupted sound of the motor and am a card carrying hater of the burble pop bang exhausts everyone has in the last 8 or so years. I personally blame the Jaguar F-type for starting that trend, it was exciting then until everybody was doing it and now its obnoxious and obscures the notes of the exhaust at every part of the rev range. I have always rooted for Lotus and I hope that they get to continue making cars well into the future.

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.

Some people complain that the Evora has a Toyota V6 (2GR-FE). Lotus could've done a lot worse. They could've opted for GM's "High Feature V6", like the god awful 2.8T from the Saab Turbo X (276 hp). 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. It sounds pretty good too.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Great review by someone who understands what the Evora can do. I'm on my second Evora, a GT410 Sport, both of which have been far more reliable than BMWs, Mercedes and Range Rovers that I have owned - once you drive an Evora, it feels like a drink of mountain spring water in a Coca-Cola world - everything else seems plastic in comparison. But if you want a car that your friends recognise as a status symbol, and don't care that much about the steering, get a 911. Sorry, my Evora GT410 Sport isn't for sale, I'm keeping it as it's like will disappear soon..
