Lotus Evora: Elise-plus

First Opinion

The new Evora is the car Lotus fans have been waiting for. It retains the superb handling, traction and driver involvement that has made the Elise such a huge success,

but adds more refinement and comfort. The cabin is well designed and the unique 2+2 seat layout hasn't compromised styling. Performance is strong, too,

while emissions of 205g/km are impressively low. However, fully equipped cars will cost nearly £60,000, placing it against some tough competition.
