Buckle up-- if
you're in an
Evora it's going
to be an exciting
ride, which is
why the seats
look like this, at
right.

Eric Stafford, writing in Car and Driver in his review of the 2021 Evora, said, "... the Evora GT is more rewarding
to masochists, er, drivers who prefer a rawer experience. With a 416-hp supercharged V-6 that sings above
4500 rpm, and primary controls that sync with an excellent chassis, the action behind the wheels is visceral.
While the Lotus' interior isn't loaded with luxuries, and its lofty starting price [ just under $100,00 for the
base model] can climb even higher with options, the 2021 Evora GT is a machine made to excite the senses
rather than make sense. ( A look at Daniel Gomez's own physique, brown shirt at the rear of the car, shows he's the right
kind of guy to take charge of this one.)

E lan comes

from a French word
meaning to dart with
enthusiam and great
flair.
