Lotus Evora
Who would have guessed that the heart of a Camry could excite the senses this much? Under the sculpted bodywork of the Lotus Evora, beats a 276 hp 3.5 litre V6 borrowed from Toyota. The cavalry climbs to 345 horses in the Evora S. Mounted in a mid-engine layout, the V6 is teamed with 6 speed manual or automatic gearboxes. More practical as a daily driver than the retired Elise, the 2+2 Evora is the sole Lotus currently available for sale.
