2011 Lotuse Evora 2 2

Car is in good condition with @11,800 gently used miles. Throughout its short life it has been garaged and has never been left outside extensively. And it has very rarely even been driven in rain or snow - have other cars for that. I love this car - bought it new so it is a one owner. I am selling it primarily to replace it with something more age appropriate for me. It's my current "daily" driver so the mileage might be a little higher than posted here, but not much higher.

In the years I’ve had this car I never once saw another one on the road in the Chicago area – it is definitely a very unique car that always seems to get noticed.

It is also surprisingly almost a practical car. Gets relatively good gas mileage – I managed to get almost 30 mpg on a road trip last year, but confess that with quick starts from stop signs, 17 mpg is more common.

Manufacturer Notes

The Lotus Evora is the first product of a five-year plan to expand the Lotus lineup! It is the only lotus model with a 2+2 configuration. With its lightweight chassis of bonded aluminum, a supple suspension, and mid-engine layout there is nothing ordinary about this car. This Evora is mated to a raresix speed manual gearbox and produces a stout 276 horsepower

Vehicle Overview from cars.com

Lotus says the car was designed to be a better daily driver than the Exige or Elise, with larger doors, narrower doorsills and a 2.5-inch higher seating position. Still, the Evora looks like a racecar.

In contrast to the high-revving four-cylinder engines used in Lotus' flyweight Elise, the Evora has a Toyota-sourced, 3.5-liter V-6. Larger, heavier and more expensive than the Elise, the Evora roughly competes in price and performance with the Porsche 911. The Evora is Lotus' first modern attempt at a daily driver.

Exterior
Though it bears a passing resemblance to the Exige and Elise, the Evora weighs about 1,000 pounds more than either sibling. The engine, mounted behind the backseat, sends exhaust out two central pipes directly below the license plate. The Evora's rear wheels measure 19 inches in diameter, and the front wheels measure 18 inches.
Interior
In contrast to the sparse cabin in the Elise, the Evora's cabin offers a leather-covered dashboard with genuine aluminum accents. A full-leather interior, with cowhide spanning more surfaces, is optional. Heated power seats and automatic climate control are unavailable, as those features would add weight and diminish the Evora's performance, Lotus says.
The automaker says the Evora's front seats can accommodate two 6-foot-6-inch adults, and the 5.7-cubic-foot trunk can hold a full set of golf clubs. The rear seats, however, are intended for kids.
