Used Sports Cars - Lotus Evora - Sports Cars

Be mai one Porsche Cayman should not be exclusive and “pure” for you, Lotus Evora maybe for you. There compartment 2 + 2 (also available in 2 + 0 configuration) The House of Hethel was born with the intention of annoying its German competitor, even if not in terms of sales, but in terms of handling and driving pleasure. Who knows better driving pleasure than Lotus engineers?

Although not as easy asEliza, Lotus Evora does not hold sludge DNA: mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, manual transmission (later automatic became available) and exotic range. THE 1350 kg However, on top of balance, they make it a more "normal" car than its racetrack sisters, even if it certainly isn't a heavy car.

In 2009, when it debuted, the Evora cost around € 90.000 and is still on the list from that figure. However, the advertisements for used cars show interesting offers of vehicles with mileage below 30.000 km for a price of less than 40.000 XNUMX euros.

LOTS OF EVORA

La Lotus Evora mounts 3,5-liter V6 engine inherited from Toyota: the first version provides 280 h.p. at 6.400 rpm and 340 Nm of torque, while the S version, which has been on the market since 2010, produces 350 Cv e 400 Nm thanks to the positive displacement compressor.

The Evora is also the first Lotus to feature electric power steering, a feature that has raised some confusion among purists who love the English brand. However, at its launch, the specialist press praised the work done on the steering and balancing of the car so highly that even the most skeptical people changed their minds.

La Evora however, he wants to be not an extreme car, but an everyday coupe, which at the same time does not want to lose the feeling of a race car. In fact, the interior is pretty neat: there's a touchscreen, leather upholstery, (fairly) padded seats, and all those "normal" car amenities like cruise control, Bluetooth, and remote parking control. But this did not stop the engineers from building frame in extruded aluminum with double torsional rigidity compared to Elise.

The braking system with 350mm front and 332mm rear discs is also very aggressive, and the Evora accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 5,1 seconds (4,8 in the S version) and reaches 217 and 229 km / h, respectively. maximum speed.

Today there are examples with very low mileage for the price of one Volkswagen Golf R, by the way, everything is quite recent. The build quality is different from the Porsche Cayman, but when it comes to driving pleasure and exclusivity, England is far superior to Germany.
