2020 Lotus Evora GT<\/h1>\n

If you looked at the new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette<\/a> and said, “Nope not the mid engine car for me,” and you also don’t want a McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or any of the other exotics out there, then you should look to the aging but still lovely Lotus Evora<\/a>. The company just put out a new car specifically for the North American market. It’s the Lotus Evora GT<\/a>, and it’s quite lovely. <\/strong><\/p>\n

For under $100k ($96,950 to be exact) you can get your hands on the most powerful street-legal Lotus available right now. The Evora GT features either a two-seat or a 2+2 seat arrangement. It also comes with a 3.5-liter supercharged six-cylinder engine that puts out 416 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.<\/strong> That engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission (only a masochist would buy the automatic in this car). <\/p>\n

This powertrain makes for a 0-60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds.<\/strong> The car’s top speed? It’s 188 mph.<\/strong> The automatic transmission is a tenth of a second slower, so that’s yet another reason to buy the manual gearbox. In terms of suspension, Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers are standard. The car also gets 19-inch wheels up front and 20-inch in the rear. Those wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. <\/p>\n

Lotus also updated the exterior with front lip spoiler, wheel arch louvers, ducts behind the wheels, and a rear diffuser. Inside there’s Alcantara and carbon fiber materials as well as a magnesium steering wheel with Alcantara and leather. Lotus put in a 7-inch infotainment screen with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Andriod Auto, and navigation. Overall, it looks like one killer driving machine. <\/strong><\/p>\n
