2012 Lotus Evora Used Price Estimates

Like other Lotus vehicles, the 2012 Evora is quick and highly maneuverable. What sets this one apart from others is that it’s more comfortable. While the Evora may not be your first choice for a cross-country trip, the car is tolerable for going moderate distances. With the naturally aspirated 276-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, the 2012 Evora can hit 60 mph in five seconds or less, depending on transmission. The 2012 Evora S, with a supercharged version of the engine – making 345 horsepower – can do it in as little as 4.4 seconds. The Evora’s 6-speed manual transmission feels a little clunky and has long throws, while the automatic is a bit smoother but far from the best out there. Braking, meanwhile, is excellent. Potential Evora owners should be aware that entering and exiting this small vehicle can be an awkward dance, and the footwell and pedal position feel cramped. Also, blind spots to the rear are pronounced.

V6 ENGINEFor this larger car, Lotus went with a larger engine, straying from the 4-cylinder units used in past cars, like the Elise. This V6 comes from Toyota, and is a relative to the one used in America’s best-selling car, the Camry. That’s good news when it comes to reliability.DESIGNThe wedge-like Lotus Evora looks like nothing else on the road. Add in the fact that Lotuses are relatively obscure to begin with, and you get a car that’s an immediate attention-grabber and quite the conversation piece.

Not surprisingly, the Evora’s minimalist nature extends to its cabin. Once you clamber inside, the driver and passenger seats are well-bolstered. As for Evoras with the 2+2 configuration, even Lotus admits the small back seats are really just meant for children. Back up front, functions like the climate system are controlled via large, circular knobs and a few buttons. In one sense that’s refreshingly simple, in another it feels out of place for a car of this price. The optional navigation system, too, is rather plain and has just so-so resolution. A tiny rear window and thick rear pillars create blinds spots that hinder visibility.

At about 171 inches in length, the 2012 Evora is large for a Lotus, but still small by U.S. car standards. The Evora sits low and wide, akin to the racecars that inspired it. The Evora’s front is defined by elongated headlights that stretch half the length of its hood. Large side air ducts sit high and directly aft of each door, while the rear haunches extend outward and have a very muscular look. At the rear is an integrated spoiler and center-mounted exhaust. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard up front, with 19-inch wheels at the rear.

Performance is the name of the game for this car, so it’s no surprise that standard features for 2012 Lotus Evora models favor that aspect over creature comforts. All models employ a 3.5-liter V6 engine, ventilated brakes with AP Racing 4-piston calipers and bi-xenon headlights. Inside are Recaro racing-style seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and Alpine AM/FM/CD player with iPod connectivity.

The Lotus Evora can be upgraded with a variety of packages. The Premium Pack adds accoutrements such as a leather-clad interior, while the Tech Pack includes a 7-inch touch-screen display, upgraded speakers and a 100-watt amplifier and DVD player. Other options include navigation, two small rear seats, a 6-speed automatic transmission, heated front seats, and a backup camera.

The 2012 Lotus Evora uses a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 that makes 276 horsepower, while the Evora S supercharges that same engine to make a robust 345 horsepower. All Evora models use a mid-engine, rear-drive layout. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual. In a change from its usual course, Lotus offers a 6-speed automatic transmission in the Evora that achieves better fuel economy than the manual gearbox.3.5-liter V6276 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm258 lb-ft of torque @ 4,600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26 mpg (manual), 20/28 mpg (automatic)3.5-liter supercharged V6345 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm295 lb-ft of torque @ 4,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/26 mpg (manual), 19/28 mpg (automatic)

A 2012 Lotus Evora with the base V6 and two seats has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 67,275. The higher-powered Evora S with the supercharged engine adds roughly $ 10,000 to the price. A top-of-the-line Lotus Evora S with four seats, automatic transmission, technology package and upgraded wheels can reach over $ 86,000. For these prices, the Lotus competes with some stiff competitors that offer more creature comforts, including the Porsche Cayman S and a base 911, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, and a high-end BMW Z4. Because the Lotus Evora is a relatively rare vehicle, we expect the car to hold its value reasonably well.
