These two British cars are directly targeting uncompromising sport driving enthusiasts. With their Toyota engine, modified and offered in multiple versions, this duo is very light and proposes extraordinary handling. However, if you want to achieve performance nirvana, you’ll have to be flexible enough to slide in behind the wheel and strong enough to put up with a very firm suspension. But the handling makes it all worth it...

Manual Gearbox to Survive in These Vehicles for 2026

If you're looking to get your hands on a new vehicle without an automatic transmission, we recommend you act sooner rather than later. There are only 24 options remaining for the 2026 model year, and they're mostly sports cars aimed at serious driving enthusiasts. Unsurprisingly, that number is down from …October 20, 2025

2025 Lotus Emira: When Passion Prevails

The evolution of sports cars from British manufacturer Lotus has led us to the Emira , unveiled four years ago (but launched in Canada in 2023) as an exclamation point on the combustion era. However, the small mid-engined coupe that replaced the Evora will play a bigger role than expected …July 25, 2025

Manual Gearbox to Survive in These Vehicles for 2025

The number of makes and models offering manual transmissions keeps shrinking due to poor sales, new emission regulations, incompatibilities with various driver assistance features and the increasing array of electric and hybrid vehicles, among other things. The 2025 model year will see the Jeep Gladiator, Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf …November 16, 2024

2012 Lotus Evora S: It won’t change you, except...

Lotus, the little English manufacturer steeped in history, is barely surviving in this era where huge corporations reign supreme. For various reasons, it had to stop producing the Elise and Exige, fun little two-seaters that handle more like go-karts than GTs. To target a different clientele that is just as …June 30, 2011

2010 Lotus Evora: Big game hunter

The Lotus name is legendary in Formula One, as much for the 79 victories and seven titles as for the team’s bold and often controversial innovations. Its return to F1 this year, with cars in colours that are reminiscent of its past successes, has been a happy one – even …September 8, 2010

2009 Lotus Elise: Radical and expensive...

But oh so much fun! In fact, there are very few cars at any price that can offer as powerful a ride and that’s the main reason for buying an Elise. You can forget about luxury or comfort. Z4, Boxster or Nissan Z buyers, basically you’re in the wrong place. September 10, 2009

Lotus Exige 350 Sport: Lighter, Faster... And More Desirable Than Ever

The Lotus Elise is one of the oldest models on the market: it has been launched in 2001, and shows no sign of being phased out. Like good wine, the Elise gets better with age. While the car's base hasn’t changed much, it received numerous upgrades to keep it relevant …December 11, 2015

An Automatic Lotus Exige S

It had to happen at some point, and the news has finally come in: an automatic gearbox will be offered as an option on the Lotus Exige S in every country where that car is sold (so not here). The Exige S is an ultimate track day toy that can …October 24, 2014

Lotus Exige LF1: Honoring Formula 1

The timing may not be ideal, considering the final results of the Lotus F1 team at the Canadian Grand Prix (both cars retired because of mechanical defects), but the British manufacturer just unveiled a limited run of 81 Exige LF1s built to commemorate the team’s success in Formula 1. Each …June 9, 2014

Lotus Reintroduces The Type 72

If you’re a motorsports fan, the news that Lotus is returning to F1 is, in a word; amazing. Shaking the sport to its foundations the last time they entered competition, Chapman and friends bent, worked around, and otherwise ignored the rules and regulations set out to slow the cars down …December 27, 2009

1996-2011 Lotus Elise S: More Power Is No Bad Thing

Does messing with the Lotus Elise's balance of low power, low weight and fine handling do it any favours? Having driven the supercharged Elise S, we'd say no...
