New 2009 Lotus Evora in Poole, Dorset

A dynamic sports car

The absolute benchmark for handling and ride, surpassing supercars costing three times as much for driver feel and responsiveness, the Evora is a high point for Lotus’ eminent chassis engineers. 

The Evora-derived from the words evolution, vogue and aura – arrived in 2009 and was the first all-new vehicle platform since the Elise in 1995. Fluid elegant lines, the poise of an attack dog, and a swept-forward cabin to accommodate four passengers and a mid-mounted 3.5 litre V6 make it practical as well as phenomenal to drive. 

Whatever the circumstances – sweeping curve, tight hairpin or flat-out straight - the Evora is always ‘on it’. Highly tuned suspension ensures it tracks accurately through corners, while its cross-drilled and ventilated four-piston calliper disc brakes provide more stopping power than a .357 Magnum. 

Boosting the Evora’s performance arsenal, it’s Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) traction and stability management system has three settings; suppressing oversteer and understeer in the ‘on’ setting, allowing a small degree of slip in ‘Sport’ to allow the driver greater engagement, and disengaging altogether in ‘off’ when you want to test your reflexes.
