Lotus Evora Submodels
The Lotus Evora debuted in 2009 as a more refined and practical grand tourer compared to the spartan Elise and Exige. It's built on Lotus's signature bonded aluminum chassis and features a reliable Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6, offered in both naturally aspirated and supercharged forms. As the only Lotus available in the US market for several years, it kept the brand alive for American enthusiasts.
Collectors appreciate the Evora's unique position as a comfortable, daily-drivable car that still delivers the telepathic steering and handling Lotus is known for. Later supercharged models like the Evora 400 and GT are especially sought after for their increased power and aggressive styling. With production ending in 2021, the Evora represents the final chapter of internal combustion GT cars from Lotus before the brand shifted focus to the Emira and electric models.
The market for the Evora is well-established, with an average sale price around $60,000. Values are highly dependent on model year, mileage, and specification. Early, naturally aspirated cars are the most affordable entry point, while late-model Evora GTs with the 6-speed manual command the highest prices, often exceeding $100,000.
Buying Tips
- Check the clutch on early 2010-2012 models, as they were known to wear prematurely. Many have been updated to the improved clutch from later cars.
- Inspect the rear subframe for corrosion, especially on cars driven in winter climates where road salt is used.
- Test the air conditioning thoroughly. It can be a weak point, sometimes requiring expensive compressor or condenser replacements.
- The Toyota-sourced V6 is very reliable, but a complete service history is crucial. Supercharged models require regular supercharger belt service.
- The optional Intelligent Precision Shift (IPS) automatic transmission is available, but the 6-speed manual is far more desirable and commands a significant premium.
Prices range from about $26,000 for early examples to over $126,000 for late-model GT variants.
