Overview
The 2012 Lotus Evora Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $66,100. Depending on the trim level, the Evora competes with the Mercedes-Benz AMG C 63 Coupe, the BMW M3 Coupe, and the Porsche Cayman Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, the BMW 3 Series, and the Audi A5 Coupe are also potential challengers with more affordable price tags. Between 5 trims the Evora Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.5L V6 capable of making 276 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also the 345 horsepower-making 3.5L Supercharged V6 engine given on the S trims. Both powertrains are mated to either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Evora Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.8 seconds with the base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.6 seconds with the Supercharged V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Evora Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 23 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the Evora Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
