Some Interesting Lotus Evora Facts
- Designed for Daily Driving and Track Days
The Lotus Evora was created to be more practical and comfortable than the Elise or Exige, offering a usable interior, better ride quality, and a 2+2 seating layout in some variants , making it Lotus’s most versatile model. - Powered by a Toyota V6 Engine
The Evora uses a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 engine, modified by Lotus, offering bulletproof reliability with sporty tuning. Supercharged variants (Evora S, 400, GT) deliver up to 430 horsepower. - First All-New Lotus Since the Elise (1995)
Launched in 2009, the Evora was the first new Lotus platform since the Elise, featuring a new aluminum chassis and updated design direction. - Evora 400 Is the Most Powerful Road-Legal Lotus (Pre-Emira)
The Evora 400 upped the performance ante with 400 horsepower, a 0–100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h) — making it the fastest Lotus ever at launch. - 2+2 Seating Configuration Option
Uniquely among mid-engine sports cars, the Evora offered a 2+2 layout, allowing small rear seats (great for kids or luggage), which made it one of the only practical mid-engine cars in its class. - Lotus-Tuned Handling Perfection
True to Lotus philosophy, the Evora is lightweight, agile, and perfectly balanced, with sharp steering and minimal body roll — praised by many as one of the best-handling sports cars on the road. - Extensive Use of Lightweight Materials
The chassis is a bonded aluminum tub, and the bodywork uses composite panels, helping keep curb weight around 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs), depending on trim. - Evora GT Was the Final and Best Iteration (in the U.S.)
The Evora GT (2019–2021) combined the power of the Evora 400 and 410 Sport with added comfort and tech, delivering 416 hp and track-tuned performance while remaining road-friendly. - Featured in Racing and Motorsport
Lotus created the Evora GT4 race car, which competed in various GT series and track events, showing off the Evora's chassis and performance credentials in a competitive environment. - Succeeded by the Lotus Emira
The Evora was the last V6-powered Lotus before the launch of the Emira in 2022, marking the end of an era for analog, combustion-only Lotus sports cars.

The Lotus Evora is the most refined Lotus ever—a mid-engined, supercharged V6 GT with Porsche-rivaling handling and daily-driver comfort. More engaging than a Cayman GTS and rarer than a 911, it’s a future classic in the making.

3. Where to Buy in the EU?
Official Channels:
Lotus Approved Used (Select EU Dealers) (Best for warranty.)
Specialists (e.g., Hofmann’s UK, Lotus Garage Paris)
Private Sales:
Mobile.de / PistonHeads (Filter for "full history".)
Lotus Forums (Low-mileage gems appear here.)
Pro Tip:
The GT430 is the ultimate Evora—430hp, carbon everything, and limited to 60 coupes worldwide.
4. Market Trends
📈 GT Models Rising Fast
GT410/430 up 10% annually since 2021 (Last non-hybrid Lotus sports car.)
Early NAs (2009–2014) now stable at €40k–60k.
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Cheap" sub-€40k cars often need €15k+ in deferred maintenance.
Rebuilt titles (rare, but check for crash damage).
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
Toyota 2GR-FE Engine Health (Should be bulletproof—oil leaks = €1k gasket job.)
Clutch Life (Replacement: €3k+ due to mid-engine labor.)
📄 Paperwork:
Lotus Certificate of Provenance (Verify build spec.)
No ECU Tunes (Stock calibration is prized.)
Fun Fact:
The Evora’s Alpine stereo was so bad, Lotus offered a £5k "delete option", most buyers took it!
