Overview

The 2014 2014 Lotus Evora Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $68,750. For that price, it mainly competes with the Porsche Cayman S and the more affordable BMW M235i. With the two trim levels, the 2014 Lotus Evora Coupe offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.5L V6 engine making 276 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 345 horsepower-making 3.5L Supercharged V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The Lotus Evora reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.0 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.6 seconds with the Supercharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Maserati Ghibli can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 21 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 16 striking colors the Maserati Ghibli comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Lotus excels in driving dynamics and handling characteristics, but lacks in the feature set, where its competitors excel. Our recommendation is to opt for the base trim with the Premium Package in order to get the most out of your driving experience. It offers features like leather trimmed dash and interior, premium accent lighting, etc.
