Lotus. A car brand synonymous with racing history and featherweight design. When it comes to great handling sports cars that give a satisfying experience it's very hard to argue with a Lotus. The Lotus Evora GT has some big shoes to fill with it being the successor to the praised Lotus Evora 400. If you are looking for an analog feeling modern sports car look no further.

[@lewbarrett]

I own a 400 I bought new and the two models are very similar. GT is more like a trim difference, but it's a nice improvement. Good review,. You capture the spirit of the thing. One correction I'd make from experience is that an Evora makes a better GT than you might think. Most owners tour them. I do, anyway. I have no problem taking it anywhere, and my wife is comfortable in it so it works as a GT and a hot rod. The Evora is on the way to becoming a modern collectible. They are reasonable to own compared to what you'd have to spend to duplicate the experience, which I think a Cayman or a cooking grade 911 will not quite do all things considered. Not knocking the Porsches which are excellent at what they do. As an owner I'm biased but I believe the Lotus is a more exciting car to drive everyday. I wish 90% of the people who have negative opinions about the Evora had actually ever seen one, never mind driven one. The lack of knowledge about the brand, demonstrated in the comments on every Lotus review, is one reason why they are undervalued.It has nothing to do with the car. Residual values prove this because these cars depreciate slowly. It will actually cost less car to car (retained value) to buy an Evora than a typical Cayman or 911, used or new apart from the Porsche ikons. Modern Lotus hold value and will continue to do so. Last of their kind.

[@nosirrahx]

A note about the infotainment, having it not integrated is a massive plus. You can actually replace it with whatever system you want and don't have to deal with BS touch controls to do anything.

[@RobertDoosh]

This is the way.

It's too bad you guys can't get an S3 Elise. I have one, and they are amazing! The exterior styling is more updated than the S2 (that was available in North America). It doesn't quite rev as high, and is a little heavier, but still a great car!

I came out of a 997 turbo into an Evora 400 and realised I had never known what feel and handling was really about. And as for speed ‘not quite being up there’... don’t believe it. This thing hurtles!! The icing on the cake is that when running through any tunnel or underpass I swear it sounds like an F1 car. It’s hilariously raucous yet discreet at the press of a button. And please don’t compare it a bog standard Cayman. It’s GT4 level and some again for significantly less. If you have a GT4, flog it quick before everyone wises up 😀 PS: great video review but I would disagree it’s not a GT car.

I own the 2021 version as well as a Porsche GT3 RS, 2019. There is no comparison in the cars. One cost about $100K, the other with options almost three times that. But which is more enjoyable to actually drive? The Porsche is a monster, 7 speed PDK, giant wing, aero, etc etc. The steering and exhaust sound is absolutely stunning. But the Lotus more than holds it's own. It gets more attention on the street than the yellow GT3 RS. It has better road feel through the steering wheel. The sound, though not quite as raucous as the Porsche is just music in your ears. Absolutely enjoyable exhaust notes - raw and throaty. It is just really fun to drive. Is the Porsche worth almost 3x as much in the "fun to drive" department? No. Just very different experiences but for someone who can't have the Porsche - go drive one of these. You HAVE to drive it to get it. This reviewer captures well the thrill of doing so. Nothing like it.

As for pricing, if you find a dealer that has had one on their lot a few months, or towards the end of the model year, you can negotiate a good deal, I did. Or, try and find a used one. One think the video does not tell is the build quality. I find it to be excellent, no shakes or rattles at all. I think the new 49% purchase by Geely (Chinese) has given Lotus a lifeline and they can focus on building really good cars. As was implied in the video, you get a lot of looks and stares.

I've always been a fan of the Lotus Elise, Exige, & Evora. I've seen maybe 3 in my whole lifetime, I believe they were all the Elise.

[@UrW0rstNighmare]

A couple of comments, The Evora GT or even the 400 is on my list of cars I'd like to own one day but the price tag is just out of the range. The reason I believe the price is so high is because lotus makes only limited amount of these vehicles or cars in general and to bring the cost down would mean pumping out more and more of these. Which is a hard to do to begin with and then they lose that "exotic" feel to them. I feel these get underrated because society is pushing for more gadgets within cars. Cars are becoming the new cellphone of the 2000's, Look at the new supra for example toyota I believe has said every year or two years, you will see updates to the engines, interiors, suspension which drives the costs up. Just the way the market is trending unfortunately... when these get down in price in 10/15 years... maybe one will be in the garage! Otherwise keep up the good work!!
