The Car Guide rating 72%(view ratings)
Developed with the North American market in mind, the Evora is the brand’s roomiest car. This turn toward comfort has taken nothing away from the British car’s sportiness or handling. Very light, the vehicle boasts lightning-fast accelerations. The 2+0 version is powered by a 276-hp 3.5L V6 Toyota engine, while the S 2+0 offers a supercharged version with 345 horsepower. The six-speed manual gearbox comes factory standard, but there’s an optional six-speed automatic if you prefer.
