Lotus Evora S 2+2 (2012) long-term test review

Lotus Evora S 2+2 (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2012 12:00

The key to unlocking our Lotus Evora S – 17 May 2012 As you’ll read about in the new June 2012 issue (out now) the entire CAR team recently decamped to north Wales for a few days of thrashing each others long-termers around secluded Snowdonian roads. We drove, we ate, we drank, the cars drank (Anthony’s RS3 more than most) and Greg Fountain ...

Lotus Exige S (2012) CAR review

Lotus Exige S (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 25 April 2012 00:01

Lotus stopped building the four-cylinder Exige a little while back, but the name returns with this, the new 2012 Exige S. It uses the old Exige’s basic tub and centre section, but combines it with new front bodywork and – the big news – a supercharged V6 from the Evora S that’s shrouded in all-new rear bodywork. What does the ...

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2011 12:00

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 01 November 2010 16:31

This is the new Lotus Evora S, and with the help of a supercharger, its 3.5-litre V6 has been boosted from the standard Evora’s 276bhp and 252lb ft, to 345bhp and 295lb ft. Enough, Lotus hopes, to shake off criticism that the Evora just isn’t quick enough; it’s that car’s only real fault, so has the extra power turned the ...

Lotus Evora (2009): the new CAR review

Lotus Evora (2009): the new CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 12 May 2009 09:00

So Lotus is rinsing out another Elise variant, eh? No, the Evora really is new, the first all-new Lotus for nearly 15 years in fact. It’s built to take on the likes of the Porsche Cayman and 911 and slots into the Lotus range above the Elise and below the forthcoming Esprit. You might have read our innovative, real-time test drive ...

Lotus Europa SE (2009) CAR review

Lotus Europa SE (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 20 January 2009 16:46

With the Lotus Evora on the horizon and getting ever closer, Hethel has chosen to update its current range-topping sports car, the Europa. Now available in SE guise, it offers more power and torque, tweaked sports suspension, bigger wheels, bigger brakes and a more luxurious cabin. But with the sublime Elise just below it and the Evora soon to be ...

Lotus Eco Elise (2009) green CAR review

Lotus Eco Elise (2009) green CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard (photos by Michael Topham), 09 December 2008 13:27

CAR's test of the Lotus Eco Elise has an inauspicious start. I slip into the driver's seat – with that swing-legs-in-haul-your-weight-around gymnastic routine familiar to generations of Elise owners – and thumb the start button. The first few hundreds yards confirm the Elise's rich DNA. Who doesn't love Hethel's back-to-basics purity? The tiny rim squirming in your palms, the wings' ...

Lotus Exige S Performance Pack (2007) CAR review

Lotus Exige S Performance Pack (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 04 December 2007 15:27

What? Another new Exige? Yes indeed, but don’t be expecting anything too groundbreaking: this is evolution over revolution. Essentially we’re talking 2008 model year changes here and the addition of an optional Performance Pack for the supercharged Exige S, variable-slip traction control, plus some trim and detail changes including a new key fob and, wait for it, a cup holder. ...

Lotus Exige 265E (2007) CAR review

Lotus Exige 265E (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Angus Fitton, 03 June 2007 02:36

It looks like a slightly more colourful Exige - what's the story? This is the Exige 265E - the fastest ever Exige and the first bio-ethanol Lotus. The digits 265 denote the 265PS power output, or 261bhp in old money – up 46bhp over the standard car. The 'E' informs people that this car runs on ethanol, alcohol made from ...
