As an iconic British automaker of high-performance sports and racing cars, Lotus has an extensive history with Formula One and have not disappointed with the Lotus Evora. This sexy coupe is a rear-wheeled drive, mid-engined sports car, with its sights clearly set on its main rival – the Porsche Cayman. With its lightweight aluminium bonded chassis, distinctive Lotus design and spirited performance, the Evora is the car of choice for American R&B singer and songwriter – Alicia Keys.
Alicia has been spotted cruising through the streets of New York City in her swish Lotus, opting for the scarlet red version of the coupe – it looks like she’s a girl on fire after all! The Evora comes with little luxuries such as Recaro leather seats, electric mirrors and a flat-bottomed magnesium steering wheel. It’s got a road-hugging profile to match Alicia’s figure hugging attire – keeping trim with its lean chassis, the Evora weighs in at just 1382 kg – making it one of the lightest coupes around.
This naughty little sportster boasts performance specs to live up to its looks – bounding from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and reaching a lightning-quick top speed of 162 mph! This is all thanks to its pumped-up 3.5 litre V6 high-performance Toyota engineered motor. Options are quite rare when it comes to stripped down sports cars, however, with the little Lotus drivers get a choice when it comes to horsepower, opting for either the standard 276 bhp on tap or the supercharged 346 bhp unit that slashes three tenths of a second off the Evora’s standard acceleration. Fuel economy figures aren’t too bad with 217 g/km CO2 emissions and you can even choose between a manual or automatic transmissions.
If you want to get your hands on this cheeky coupe, it could be more affordable than you think. Starting at just £53,080 for the entry level Evora or £66,850 for the range topping ‘Sports Racer’ version, the Lotus is far cheaper than many of its supercar rivals.
