Jeremy Clarkson, The Sunday Times, 3rd May
...this car has great steering and handles well. Of course it does. It’s a Lotus.
..It simply glided over absolutely everything a torrential rainstorm and Britain’s B roads could throw at it. There is no other mid-engined supercar that has ever been so compliant. Or refined. Or quiet. It’s amazing.
..The Evora, then, is not a car you buy because it’s a Lotus and you have always fancied one. It’s a car you buy because you want a comfortable, practical, mid-engined supercar and no one else makes such a thing. Not Ferrari. Not Lamborghini. Not anyone.
CAR Magazine - Lotus Evora Live Drive, 4th May
..the cockpit has a real supercar feel to it. A Cayman or TT would feel boggo normal by comparison. It's to do with the high scuttle, the low seating position. Sitting in an Evora feels like an event.
It's torquey and pulls hard, low down. It gets better, too, with a delicious yowl at the top end. It's proving quite addictive. Lotus really has struck a rare seam of creativity with the Evora. It's as comfy as any rival... drives brilliantly and is rapid and different enough to make a very serious alternative to a Cayman or 911... Hethel: we applaud you.
Motor Trend - First Drive, 4th May
The Evora rocks. It looks fabulous, it's a quantum leap up in Lotus refinement and driveability, yet it retains the feathery, purebred feel of its feisty two-seat siblings.
Car and Driver - First Drive Review, 4th May
The Evora is planted and secure, yet picks apart corners with a light and playful feel that always makes mid-engine cars feel so special-think Ferrari F430, only with better steering.
Autocar Review, 5th May
On the road the Evora delivers the huge cornering grip, sensitive but uncorrupted steering, powerful brakes and close-to-zero body roll that you’d expect from the Elise/Exige’s grown-up sibling, along with a smooth, quick-reacting engine that delivers subdued race sounds..Around a track, this car will undoubtedly be brilliant.
However, the major surprise is the Evora's suitability for day-long journeys...This is a car truly suitable for a week's all-roads European grand touring, the first of the marque to achieve it.
Car Enthusiast - Lotus Evora - First Drive, 6th May
We'll have to wait for an opportunity to drive the Evora on track or at least a dry road before giving final judgment, but even a rain-soaked introduction illuminated what a fantastic job Lotus has done on this car. That it's exciting to drive we could have predicted; that it's also a massively competent all-rounder we could have only hoped for. It is both, convincingly so. Porsche won't be troubled by Lotus's modest production numbers, but now at least there's a real option for buyers looking for something different. They won't be disappointed. Lotus fans can rejoice too.
