    One of 14 identical specification GP Editions imported to the U.S. celebrating Kimi Raikkonen's 2012 Lotus F1 livery. California car originally sold and still garaged in San Francisco. I am the second owner. I have owned the car for one year purposed as my daily driver and tracked twice at private track days. Currently 26,xxx mi. on the odometer. Dealer maintenance records since new. I have installed four Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and a hand crafted Plack exhaust. Otherwise the car is as new. Must see the paint in person to appreciate its beauty. Original muffler comes with the sale, but you won't want to remove the Plack after you hear the music that it makes. If you are seeking attention, this car delivers! I get far more in the Evora than I do my Ferrari. Powered by a supercharged 3.5L Toyota V-6 generating 350HP and mated to a smooth 6-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels, this is as close to practical as an exotic car will come. I can attest to its capabilities on the track, as a weekend overnight cruiser, or daily commuter. PM me with any specific questions, but an Internet search will result in a wealth of general information about this exclusive run of an already exclusive automobile. $54,000/offer

    Normally I wouldn't pick black/red/gold for a colour combination, but it absolutely works on this car.

    It reminds me of the JPS Europa's of the early 70's.

    Best of luck with the sale.

    Gorgeous Evora!
    I have to wait until next December. But it's going to either be this or an Exige S

    GLWS, if it's still for sale in 12 months...I'll holler ;)

    Thread revival.... :) !

    I have one of these in the UK (1 of 3 UK cars produced) and having owned multiple Ferrari, Porsche and loads of other performance cars, this Evora S is the finest drivers car I've ever driven!

    It is utterly sublime in terms of handling, balance, power delivery, gearbox and steering feel.

    It is quick enough to be genuinely rapid over all surfaces, but doesn't need to be going big speeds to feel exciting and 100% engaging.

    It can be a daily driver with ease, but makes a great weekend toy too!

    Personally I love the F1 Black and Gold - and I get loads of favourable comments and attention from kids, grandads, men and women! Thumbs up everywhere I take it, and regular chats at the petrol station with people keen to look over it and admire it.

    If anyone is ever considering one of these I would say DEFINITELY drive one and give it a chance to impress you!!!

    Meh, I looked at buying one a few years back. Cool car, drove well, but quality is sketchy. In the words of Ed Bolian, "an Evora is for those who don't know Porsche makes Caymans".

    Haha I like that quote. They say 1 in 3 people who test drive a Lotus buy one. They just can’t get people to come in the door. I myself kinda like the idea of one, might need to go and seek one out to try.

    It has a boosted Toyota Camry engine, so at least it's very reliable.

    I FULLY agree: had an Evora and thoroughly enjoyed it! For example the steering feel is way better than a Scud. But my wife didn’t like it that much because of the ‘kit car quality finish’.

    Au contrare...it is EXACTLY known when someone buys an Evora that a Cayman exists. They CHOSE an Evora over a Cayman.. What do you think they are doing when they are cross shopping??????

    Who the heck is Ed Bolian anyway?
