STORY

The Lotus Evora, launched in 2009, was a mid-engined 2+2 sports car using a supercharged (and later naturally aspirated) Toyota-sourced V6, offering more practicality and refinement than the Elise or Exige. It was updated through the Evora 400, Sport 410, GT410 and track-focused GT430 variants over its life. Production continued until 2021.
