Overview
The 2011 Lotus Evora Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $64,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Porsche Cayman S Coupe and the BMW M3 Coupe. Between 4 trims the Evora Coupe offers 4 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.6L V6 capable of making 304 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also the 345 horsepower-making supercharged version of the same engine available in the higher-end S trims. Both powertrains are offered with a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Evora Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.9 seconds with the base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.6 seconds with the supercharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Evora Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy of between 21 and 22 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 20 striking colors the Evora Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
