Lotus Evora (2011)
for sale
Price: US $49,000.00
Price: US $49,000.00
Car is in good
condition with @11, 700 gently used miles. Throughout its short life it has been garaged and has never been left outside extensively. And it has very rarely even been driven in the rain - have other cars for that. I love this car - bought it new so it is a one
owner. I am selling it primarily to replace it with something more age
appropriate for me. It's my daily driver so the mileage might be a little higher than posted here, but not much higher.
In the years I’ve
had this car I never once saw another one on the road in the Chicago area – it is definitely a very
unique car that always seems to get noticed.
It is also
surprisingly almost a practical car. Gets relatively good gas mileage – I
managed to get almost 30 mpg on a road trip last year, but confess that with quick starts from stop signs, 17 mpg is more common.
Manufacturer Notes
The Lotus Evora is the
first product of a five-year plan to expand the Lotus lineup!
It is the only lotus model with a 2+2 configuration. With its lightweight
chassis of bonded aluminum, a supple suspension, and mid-engine layout there is
nothing ordinary about this car. This Evora is mated to a rare six speed
manual gearbox and produces a stout 276 horsepower
Vehicle Overview from cars.com
Lotus says the car was designed
to be a better daily driver than the Exige or Elise, with larger doors, narrower doorsills and a 2.5-inch higher seating position. Still, the Evora
looks like a racecar.
In contrast to the
high-revving four-cylinder engines used in Lotus' flyweight Elise, the Evora
has a Toyota-sourced, 3.5-liter V-6. Larger, heavier and more expensive than
the Elise, the Evora roughly competes in price and performance with the Porsche
911. The Evora is Lotus' first modern attempt at a daily driver.
Exterior
Though it bears a passing
resemblance to the Exige and Elise, the Evora weighs about 1, 000 pounds more
than either sibling. The engine, mounted behind the backseat, sends exhaust out
two central pipes directly below the license plate. The Evora's rear wheels
measure 19 inches in diameter, and the front wheels measure 18 inches.
Interior
In contrast to the sparse
cabin in the Elise, the Evora's cabin offers a leather-covered dashboard with
genuine aluminum accents. A full-leather interior, with cowhide spanning more
surfaces, is optional. Heated power seats and automatic climate control are
unavailable, as those features would add weight and diminish the Evora's
performance, Lotus says.
The automaker says the Evora's front seats can accommodate two 6-foot-6-inch
adults, and the 5.7-cubic-foot trunk can hold a full set of golf clubs. The
rear seats, however, are intended for kids.
