    Great video as always. One small comment though: MSRP for a new Evora GT is around $97k, but for this Evora S it was around $76k back then. The current owner paid $56k for it. So a $20k deprecation hit in 7 to 10 years (I'm not sure what year this one is) on a $76k car, although not insignificant, is NOT bad at all, especially for a quirky, low volume British sports car (compare it to the depreciation of a Jaguar or Aston Martin!). Evoras are holding value way better than anyone would've guessed.

      @@carstech2685 thank you for your response. I am trying to decide between the Lotus Emira or a Porsche Cayman. I was leaning to Porsche as there are many dealerships around me and you see them more so my thinking way parts would be easier to get. I do have a Lotus dealer 10 minutes away from me so that would help but no sure of wait times for repairs. The new Emira looks gorgeous and like the exclusivity of it. Only issue with that thinking is that exclusivity could also cause headaches with repair timing. Maybe best approach is wait to see how first batch of deliveries go before taking the plunge?

      It's because not everyone wants to drive 4 cylinder shitboxes. If people bought cars solely with reliability in mind, we wouldn't have cars like this Lotus because manufacturers wouldn't take chances in their engineering departments to make beast like this. Plus every manufacturer would essentially build the same/identical vehicles as the next and their wouldn't be any variety at all, further making people brand/tag fans as we already do have, but worst. That would result in many manufacturers going bankrupt and many people being laid off from there jobs.

    awesome that you reviewed an Evora. I own a 2011 model. This particular one you reviewed is interesting because it is a 2011-2014 Evora S everywhere on the outside except for the rear, which looks like the owner had converted to the newer Evora 400 rear end. In that case, this model has 345 hp...but who is counting haha.

    • @robertlawson2608
      @robertlawson2608 3 роки тому +1

      Yep I love the 400 rear. It has several engine mods so it is actually around 370. The exhaust mod was the best I think

      I own a 2014 Lotus Evora and the one in the video is indeed a S1 model with an Evora 400 back end. The interior in the Evora is totally different. This one looks just like mine except I have the Suede-Tex package. $56K seems kinda cheap for an Evora 400. I've never seen them cheaper than $67K for a 400. Could be a salvage titile. They have those in California.

    I owned a 72 Lotus Europa. It was quick, but not FAST. But man could it handle! It is the only car that I felt that, "I was one with the car". The Evora has maintained that tradition of handling. When any of my friends ask me about my Lotus experience, I have a simple answer, "Nothing handles like a Lotus...NOTHING!
