Jeremy Clarkson takes the pocket sized but punchy Lotus Evora out on to the Top Gear track. But with electronic gizmos in the front where an engine would normally sit, back seats and a boot, just where is the engine? Taken from series 13, episode 1.

I come back to this video when I'm feeling down, when this first came out in the US I was just out of HS and enjoying my summer before my now 11 year work life ruined it. It was like a staple in time when I was still a "kid" it has a special place in my heart. Most of season 12-14 were my favorite years of Top Gear.

what's wrong with that? Toyota make great engines. in fact Toyota can make an engine anyway they want to as they have phenomenal engineering capacity. I'd take Toyota power and reliability over Porsche's highly sensitive and incredibly expensive time bombs. the Toyota engine makes this car hugely more affordable and there is no downside. other than for badge snobs like yourself.

@MD-uu5nt 7 жыл бұрын

nonsense. they are one of the most reliable v6 engines ever built. if your friend is having problems I can guarantee they are not related to the engine block. Toyota are one of the few companies that still engineers stuff to last. Toyota do not make "cheaply built" engines. they are cheap because of economies of scale. this engine gives good torque and hp, excellent mpg has an excellent reliability record, it is light, it's very easy to service and get parts for and can be supercharged easily. And it even sounds good. engines in more exotic cars like Porsche or Ferrari are so highly tuned they have to be serviced very regularly and rebuilt in very little time. this is an excellent engine by any standards. aside from the fact it is a Toyota what is your issue with it?

It is extremely comfortable, almost unreal. Once you're planted it can be a car that you can take on a 10hour trip with extreme comfort. I used to have a clk55 amg and believe me, the lotus is more comfortable. When I have the seat all the way back I cannot reach the pedals so leg room is ok. Head room is also perfect. It is a very "personal" car and when you have two people in it they are almost touching each other. I have the 2+0 config with no backseats as it should be.

@FCautodesigm 10 жыл бұрын

I looove Lotus Evora! It is third on my top-10 dream cars list right below Pagani Zonda Cinque and Koenigsegg (any model). I love the fact that it looks so much like a Koenigsegg both exterior and some details in the interior. The Lancia Stratos-like windshield, the carving on the sides which is similar to K´segg´s air intakes, the headlights, the exhaust tip on the S model, the diffuser, RWD, mid compact engine, lightness, the dual AC air flow vents, meaty exhaust note and so on...everything reminds me a lot of a Koenigsegg. I have been dreaming of owning a Koenigsegg since I was 9 years old and first saw the CC concept, I am 18 now and when I first saw the Evora being revealed I became super excited. I saw the possibility of owning a car some day which is much like a Koenigsegg, the Evora´s price tag is relatively low and used ones aren´t much more expensive than a new Volvo these days! The really nice thing about it is that it is also seems to be a great car from what I have heard, like this video shows, with great handling.....or maybe even the best handling of any car. It has won driver´s car of the year awards by several magazines all over the world including my country where it won the award 2013 leaving Porche´s and Ferrari´s in the dust. There is so many great things about this car, the fact that it is made out of plastic composites means that it never will rust even if you use it in the winter, which is not recomended with any enthusiast car but still possible with this one. And the last thing is the economy which is so much better than any other car of this calibre which I can come to think of, with good fuel economy included. Good job Lotus, looks like you really know how to make pure driver´s cars which also looks the part at relatively low prices. Greetings from Sweden!

***** People that can afford those usually give 0 shits about fuel. The world still has plenty of gas left anyway. The average population will probably switch to some other resource before the fuel runs out letting those cars keep running. Not to mention Teslas are still slower than their competing sports cars and only have the advantage of a being electric. So far mainly California is the only place with easy access to the charging stations while the rest of the country and world have yet to have them readily available. Same goes with hydrogen fuel, which I personally think is better as you get economy and power.

The interior/exterior is flawless and the handling is simply amazing. It's kinda of a pain to drive as a daily driver because getting in and out is a mission and it does not help that I'm 6'2. I've kept up with later model Porsche turbo's from a roll and the raced a stock GTR that put 3-4 cars on me from 30-120mph but this car handles.

What do you mean? It's called the Coil Voltic.

@mtchcrtrmm9299 9 жыл бұрын

I believe the Voltic is modeled after the Tesla Roadster, which is modeled after the Lotus Exige, which is related to the Evora...

Top Gear (& Clarkson) is so much better when they do this sort of thing...i.e. real car reviews as opposed to the cocking about they do now. Please Top Gear, stop alienating your real long term fans & start making a proper car review show again...just look at the popularity of the drive network & Chris Harris. You can be funny without resorting to childish features.

I cant speak on US per say, but there is a fairly well established Lotus dealer market in Canada, and I have been seeing these Evoras much more frequently than I had originally anticipated. It looks like they are doing quite well over here.

I like the car, but it's $68,480 for a V6 car. 68k can get you one hell of a car, hell, a 40K Camaro SS 1le beat this car around the track.

Sean Ó Briain the SS 1le easily beats the evora at the track. Doesn't look as good, but lap times are lap times.

Looks like a copy of a Pontiac Fiero, or what one might have looked like by now, if they hadn,t dropped the Fiero. Matter of fact I"ll take an 85 Fiero, re-power it & will dance circles around this thing. Lotus it seems is an ersatz coach builder, as they cant make their own engines.

Ricardo Ellison It really doesn't look like a Pontiac Fiero, but ok, whatever floats your boat, and if you just revived a Fiero I highly doubt it would/could compete with a well built machine such as the one here in this video.

Indra Ida Bagus I was comparing the similar idea of the two cars, small, short, low to the ground transverse mid-engined engines.Unfortunately, Fieros' had been given the dregs of engine choices from the GM line-up, guaranteeing a disappointing resultant car. Those Fiero enthusiasts who abound, have seen fit to retrofit far far better GM engines assuring superior performance in a small & fun car. Such engines fitted to Fieros shame current "musclecars" & their ilk. Too bad GM didn't want their "Star", the Corvette shamed by the tiny Fiero, so they pulled the plug.

Jeremy Clarkson will praise any heap of metal with a British heritage. That is the point I was trying to make. The Lotus are still a very poorly made, low quality, under powered want to be race cars IMO. Lotus builds coaches and nothing else. This plastic toy cannot stand up to an Audi TTS (also a 4 cylinder) by comparison. Top Gear will gladly slams the 2016 Corvette Stingray Z01 and but praises this toyota camry enough said.

@dohmies77 7 жыл бұрын

mercytoday top gear reviews were more on the politically incorrect side of things, Clarkson was a bit more serious in the old version of Top Gear. Also, it seems like you haven't driven any Lotus to that matter yet, and let's say a fantastic sports car doesn't need 5869 bhp or luxurious interior, balance and handling is all you need. Also making a claim Toyota engined Lotuses are pieces of crap is a pretty bold statement, you reckon?

@mercytoday 7 жыл бұрын

I have driven the 2007 Lotus Elise, the underwhelming engine, poor build quality, body gaps everywhere was enough for me to not buy it, I chose an Audi 3.2 TT (Non Turbo) and never regretted it. Lotus is very average car ( I am being generous here) but love has no logic and I understand people liking it. But the review is partial, inflated and not grounded in any fact. Clarkson is only making excuses for this four banger from Toyota. I owned a Scion TC, it was a good car but not a sports car just like this poorly made plastic car.
