Overview

The 2018 Lotus Evora 400 makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. With a single trim on offer, the Lotus Evora 400 has a base MSRP of $94,900 and competes primarily with the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS, and the Jaguar F-Type. Only a 3.5L Supercharged V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed Manual transmission. Together, they produce 400 horsepower and 302 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, the Evora 400 maintains a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Lotus offers the Evora 400 in 10 stunning colors, with the Metallic Grey being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The elegant 2018 Lotus Evora 400 is a work of sheer technological brilliance. It is available as a standalone trim and offers a diverse variety of driving aids. But the standard features feel inadequate, so buyers can choose to personalize their Evora 400 with one of the many packages available. We particularly recommend the no-cost Alcantara leather package or the $3,400 leather interior trim package for additional convenience features.
