2,000 miles In A Lotus Evora GT410 Sport

  • I've now completed 2,000 miles in the Lotus Evora GT410 Sport so it felt like a good time to share some of my thoughts about this long term loan.
    Available in both 2 seat and 2+2 configurations, and in manual and automatic transmissions, the Evora GT410 Sport draws from the phenomenal Evora GT430 to provide advanced aerodynamics to an already celebrated sports car. Combining the latest design philosophy with a car acclaimed by both critics and customers, it packs raw performance with Lotus’ latest aerodynamic developments.
    Employing key elements of the GT430’s sculptured body style, including specifically designed new composite front and rear body panels, but without some of the high downforce elements, the new Evora GT410 Sport enjoys a far subtler and sleeker silhouette. However, as with all Lotus sports cars, aerodynamic downforce is a requirement and this new GT-class coupe generates up to 96kg of downforce (50% more than the Evora Sport 410) making it the new benchmark when compared to similarly priced rivals.
    The Evora GT410 Sport is powered by a specially calibrated and tuned higher-output version of Lotus’ supercharged, 3.5-litre 6-cylinder engine with integrated water-to-air charge cooler, producing 410 hp at 7000 rpm and 420 Nm of torque from 3500 rpm. It powers the GT410 Sport from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds (automatic) and the manual version in 4.0 seconds.
    The development of the new Evora GT410 Sport afforded Lotus the opportunity to optimise mass, resulting in an unladen weight of 1,297 kg and a lightest possible dry weight of 1,256 kg (including all the optional titanium exhaust, saving 10 kg, and the Lotus-tuned Öhlins TTX aluminium two-way adjustable dampers, saving 13 kg) - a total saving of 98 kg when compared to the Evora 400 benchmark, and up to 28 kg less than the already featherweight Evora Sport 410.

    A lot of the other car youtubers seem to be stuck in the loop of car mods, wrap, and first drive videos. Sam is producing great car JOURNALISM, that has a story and an actual point, that is somehow is so rare right now. Also the videography is great!

    I owned a 1970 Europa S2, A 1989 Esprit SE and a 1995 Esprit S4s. I loved them all and kept the Europa until 2006. The Europa was not stock and had a race tuned R17 Gordini engine with twin side draught Webers. It made 125Hp and weighed approx. 657kg or 1,450 pounds. It was tiny and only 99cm/39 inches tall at the roof. I used to track it and it stuck like glue. It was always a head turner.

    I'll never be able to own one of these sorts of exotic vehicles but I'm a petrolhead and enjoy the vicarious pleasure of YT car reviews. This young man has long refined his presentational skills to the point where his reviews are informatively engaging whilst being infectiously jocular (one can't honestly be truly serious about these very expensive luxuries after all!).
    That car looks like a belter. Manual gearbox, practicality, reasonable mpg and presumably not outrageous/outlandish servicing costs (thank you Toyota!).

    You were saying how surprised you were that the Evora was comfortable for the long journey but I just rewatched Clarkson's initial review of it from top gear and he went on and on about how comfortable it was

    Amazingly thorough review my friend! I’m strongly considering one. I’ve never seen one on the road here in the states. Certainly provides that exclusivity factor you won’t find in many other cars in its class. Really separates itself from the commonly seen German competition. My only hang up is the livability of using it as a daily driver. Did you find the cabin to be noisy on the highway? Again, superb review!

    Great video. This video is as good as an old top gear review (Clarkson era, not Goffey era...). Harry's garage reviewed this car and loved everything but the price and the alpine multimedia

    good to see Lotus getting the spotlight for a change, loved the brand since childhood have to admit I think they need a new Esprit in the range though

    Great review. Elise and Exige owner here. You forgot to mention a feature that is becoming increasingly rare, the manual gear shift! (Or sorry if I missed it.)

    It looks and sounds fantastic. I would actually prefer this to an old and temperamental Ferrari 360. It's a shame we don't see more of these by youtubers. Thanks Sam. PS: Take Tony for a drive... 🙂

    Way to go, Lotus. They showed you can actually make a nice sounding modern exhaust without stupid crackles, pops or bangs. Anyone who knows anything about cars, knows that if there's popping or crackling in the exhaust, the car isn't set up properly.

    That video took me back to 2003 and picking up my VX220 NA...hooning that car down a UK back road made me realise just how much Lotus know about handling...even if the badge said Vauxhall! 😁

    Great review! Can you provide some feedback on the A/B comparison you had with this and the GT3 Touring? Obviously they’re different cars but how much “better” was the GT3 over the Evora?

    Other companies: „we need to make our cars more efficient, quieter and more socially acceptable.“
    Lotus: „Low weight, manual, supercharged V6 goes VROOOOOOOOOOM.“

    Sam you should get one. I had a 360 before and sold for an Evora. I end up using the Evora way more often and as nice as the 360 is,
    it is harder to maintain and hence enjoy as often.

    Really enjoyed the video Sam. Great work.
    I can’t help compare value of new cars vs some previous greats that have now depreciated. And while it’s not like comparing apples, I find myself wondering if the 40k mile 997 GT3 on eBay for £10k less would provide the same, if not better, experience and value from an ownership perspective. What are your thoughts?

  • @philippegden9826
    @philippegden9826 3 роки тому +1

    Sam, pester Lotus to let you drive that Esprit that was parked outside when you picked this car up. Was my dream car back in the day - would love to know what they are like to drive!
