The 2011 Lotus Evora acquires a new, more powerful S model Evora, an automatic transmission, heated front seats and optional faux-suede upholstery.The 2011 Lotus Evora sets out to do just that by offering more room and refinement without sacrificing too much athleticism in the process.
At the end of the day, the 2011 Lotus Evora can keep up with its Elise and Exige stablemates just fine. If you disregard the rear seats (and really, you Should: they're terrible) the Evora's Closest competitors all hail from Porsche.

Aside from the expected practicality limitations of a purist's sports car, we've found the regular Lotus Evora to be a pretty Satisfying machine. A note in the Lotus Evora Lightning Lap synopsis summed it up: "The 345-hp Arrive Evora S can not soon enough."
The standard Evora does 0-to-60 mph in 4.9 seconds, 0 to 100 in 11.8, and the quarter-mile in 13.4 at 105 mph. Top speed is 162. It also adds 10 mph to top speed.
The S also responds to another gripe Evora, namely the shift quality.
