Lotus Evora 400 review: 2015 first drive - Motoring Research
New Lotus Evora 400: Overview Building a car that becomes an icon is not something you can write into your business plan. Every manufacturer wants to do it, but most – even after a blinding success – usually fail the next time around. And so it has been with Lotus. The 1996 Elise was, and still is, an outstandingly successful small sports car, arguably the purest driving machine you can buy today. The 2009 Lotus Evora has not had the same level of success, with just over 3,000 finding buyers in six years. However, there’s a new broom at Lotus. The primary platforms are a radically revised Evora and a whole lot more dealers. The Evora 400 replaces all the previous models.
