Lotus Evora: The Usable Mid-Engine Sports Car
The Evora was Lotus's more grown-up mid-engine sports car, blending the brand's handling magic with everyday usability.
Produced from 2009 to 2021, the Evora was Lotus's larger, more refined mid-engine sports car, designed to be more usable and comfortable than the hardcore Elise and Exige. It even offered an optional 2+2 seating layout, a rarity for the brand.
Powered by a supercharged V6, the Evora delivered strong performance and the sublime handling Lotus is famous for, earning praise as one of the best-driving sports cars of its era. Later GT versions added more power and focus.
The Evora broadened Lotus's appeal with a more practical, refined sports car that retained the brand's celebrated chassis brilliance and driving purity.
