Evora (Not S) Worth it?

Well, Evora Prices are dying it seems.

It's definitely a sexy looking car IMO, but with my budget I cannot obtain an S.

Has anyone driven both? Is the lack of power... lame?

I mean, I currently daily an B6 S4 and have a 1000hp Turbo LS3 Rx7, so I would hope it atleast could fall between those margins haha.

As far as build quality, what do you all think?

Any information is appreciated, thanks!

The lack of power would be the total downfall. Also the chincy interior and brutal shifter.

If I remember correctly from a 2010 R & T issue against the Cayman S, the standard Evora was neck and neck with 0-60 times in the 5.1 sec range...so the evora is not exactly a slug either.

You can go the route of getting a base Evora for around $50k and then add on a S/C for about $15k installed....cheaper than an Evora S

The Evora is designed to compete with Porsche Cayman on the performance side but will be slightly more practical thanks to its available four-passenger capacity. Lotus says the Evora's cabin is the most comfortable it has produced to date, with easier ingress and egress than any of its other models. Leather seats from Recaro, a closing glove box, and storage bins and even cup holders are all be standard equipment.
