2011 Lotus Evora S

When considering the semi-exotic, the Lotus Evora S is an inspiration, both for its thrilling levels of grip and its all-around balance that will have you pushing your own limits. The “S,” for all intents and purposes, stands for “supercharged.” With modest boost from the Australian-made Harrop supercharger, the Evora S makes nearly 350 horsepower – that’s a 25 percent upshot – with only a slight weight gain over its standard counterpart. If you push hard, you can get the Evora S to oversteer, but in the hands of the right driver this can be put to good use. Predictability and confidence are something that come with the mid-engine design. So, let the Evora S speak the language of speed to your inner race driver and then put it to work.
