2016 Lotus Evora 400 Review - Automobile
But a far more bizarre and telling spectacle came before Bahar, when journalists tried to climb into the Lotus Evora back in 2008. This was a car we’d been begging Lotus to build for years -- a bigger, faster and more usable sports car that could... But, unfathomably, the Evora was even trickier to get into or climb out of than an Elise. Just like that, the car that might save Lotus narrowed its potential customer base to a sliver. This failure is on my mind as I approach the 2016 Lotus Evora 400 , the first fruit of a newly stabilized company. Faster, lighter, and more aggressive than ever, the Evora 400 is new in almost every way. Hey, it’s a Lotus. Finally, a Lotus that doesn’t require the owner to be a yoga fanatic. 5-liter supercharged V-6 engine from Toyota remains, but it’s now charge-cooled and produces 400 hp, ensuring this is the most powerful and fastest production Lotus ever -- good for 0 to 60 mph in 4. 1 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. Wow, the noise is so much more exciting than the previous Evora S. Perhaps there’s not the creamy smoothness of a Cayman flat-six or elemental. Source: www.automobilemag.com
