Overview

The Lotus Evora S has taken Lotus into direct competition with Porsche and its Cayman model. Confidence is high at Lotus and the company has priced the Evora S between the Cayman and the 911 Carrera base model. Designwise, the Evora is striking: it’s sexy, svelte and better looking than the Porsche. Comfortable as a cruiser on long journeys, the Evora has also got the punch to pin you to the back of your seat.

Lotus has given us a grown-up supercar. Would we have one? You bet. Read the rest of our Lotus Evora review to find out why we rate this car so highly…
