2014 Lotus Evora S - Redline: Review 

I really dislike this strobe effect and stock dance music. It comes off really lame. Just show the car.

Why is everybody in the comments hating on Lotus. This is a great car.

By far one of the most thorough and knowledgeable car reviews I've ever watched.

dude...the strobing crap... dont ever use that effect again, please. My eyes are bleeding.

Why do people think the Stingray is rare or should get stares?! I see a Ton of Vettes where I live.

Really love your reviews man, i've seen em all. keep up the awesome work.

Holy hell that exhaust sounds amazing!! And too think it's the same engine as my dad's ES 350 lol

Metal shift knobs are nice and all until its a hot day outside! Its like touching Satan! It burns like hell

Great review. Thanks for showing the trunk size and other practical considerations.

I love my Evora. I can't wait to drive it every chance I get.

Great review! I have been following your channel for around a year, and I love your style. You are very honest and to the point, which is a great quality to have when reviewing cars. There are too many channels out there that only say positive things about cars and never have a true opinion. Quick question, where did you get the hoodie you wore during this review? I really really like it and would love to know haha. If anybody knows please reply, thanks! 👍

Oh what a car the Evora is. I've had mine nearly a year now and think it is brilliant.

It's been awhile since I've watched one of your videos and I gotta say I love your new Intro.

Great review man. You do an excellent job. Very informative.

Very Nice review! I love your relaxed, free-flowing style of presentation. Great Job! I love the Lotus Evora, for me it's the one that got away!

Love that car. I'll never imagine you upload a video like this. : )

Great job...love to see you get enthused about a car

Nice job Sofyan. I still remember the day your Camry engine blew up in Auto Tech in Chantilly. Kudos to your channel bro.

Toyota and Lotus should just build a joint spec modern mid engine and call it the MR2. Use the same power train, chassis, but have Toyota do the interior and refinement.

This is an excellent review: the good the bad, and the great things about the car. thanks, man.

I'm looking at a used one any color recommendations?? (for a 2010)

You have to drive it to appreciate it. Sad that it is a track focused car that I never see at the tracks (or autocross). Love Lotus!

Wow how did you manage to get one of these lol? Looks like so much fun, great review.

Hey could you do one with the 2018 Evora 400?

Thanks for the review. Good information and presentation

Nice review. I own one of these (a Launch Edition - soon to be retrospectively called the Series 1 I guess - so is naturally aspirated). It is an awesome car and does deserve to be called a supercar! I get lots of looks at mine every time I take it out for a drive, and it is really very exclusive. I see more Audi R8s and McLaren MP4/12Cs than Evoras on the roads here in the UK. The ride isn't that hard and the car is very comfortable over long distances. Mine has the earlier leather version of the gear knob (which I prefer by the way), so I don't need to carry socks other than on my feet. I only managed to get mine to fishtail once coming out of a corner, but wasn't sure if it was because I might have lifted off too soon coming out of it to change up a gear, but the stability system just keep the car in check. With the Pirelli P Zero tyres it just sticks to the road. I had Lotus Europa S previous to this and it was a pain to get in and out of even though the sills were lower (I couldn't even get into either an Elise or Exige with a hardtop fitted!). The Evora is a lot easier to get in and out of. The trick is to put the seat back before you get in then move it into position, then move the seat back again before you get out; a trick I learned with the Europa S. As mine is right hand drive there isn't the foot well problem of where to put your clutch foot as there is a footrest. Yes, the glove box is small, but so is the one in the Mk2 SEAT Leon I also own; neither can accommodate the instruction manual! And yes, Lotus has raided other car manufacturers' parts bins, but that is because as a low volume car manufacturer building each vehicle by hand Lotus has always done that. In terms of engines the only Lotuses not to have somebody else's powerplant installed were the Esprit and Excel/Eclat. I have to say Toyota Camry/RAV4 engine is extremely good, and the gearbox is robust as it is out of the diesel powered Toyota Auris. It doesn't bother me - my Leon has a Golf engine and transmission; some Bentleys have the VW W12 engine and the Bugatti Veyron has the VW W16 engine, but it doesn't make any of them VWs! Anyway, look out for the Evora "Series 2". I've heard that it will be an awesome bit of kit! I'm looking forward seeing the new Evora at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.

I can do without the strobe light effect please. Hurts my eyes

Correction about the intro: Lotus sells variants of its Exige Cup R in the U.S. as well. It's not road-legal, but it counts.

I've got one. Awesome car. It helps getting in and out by putting the seat back!

its funny because when people ask me how to fit in the rear seat I just tell them to sit in the lotus position.

14:25 so it's ok to text and drive when driving another brand of car?

where do i put my golf clubs?

Yup. The signal stocks are from the first gen Focus. Sitting in mine right now.

Very good and fair review, although I'm surprised about the comments on hopping/fishtailing and a hard ride ... admittedly I'm used to an S1 Elise, but I didn't find this myself and the Evora is pretty famous in Europe for the exceptional compliance of it's ride - it's an area that it excels in, along with steering feel of course. Can't wait to see what the new more powerful and lighter version is like in Geneva next year. Thanks!

flicker editing = anoying.

Great review!

Can you do a review of the 2003 acura MDX?

What is the name of song in 0.30-1.12 ??

that small space for the legs in the driver´s seat is a killer

one weird quirk i remember about was when i was driving it, the passenger could put his foot through the transmission tunnel and hit my foot.

Fantastic review.

When are you going to do a video on the GT400?

Iv driven an exige, like driving a go kart. And I just managed to fit in it, I'm 6' 4. Great car. I'd love an evora S.

Could have went with out the flashy intro lol..

Anyone know the song title in the intro??

BMW's and Porsche's are great cars. The Lotus Evora is a special great car. My 2013 Evora makes me feel very special because it's a beautiful, capable and unique car. I feel part of a exclusive club. Having seen only 3 or 4 in my neighborhood in the last 3 years. Cars and coffee never gets boring. I usually have the only Lotus or the only Evora. This car drives like a dream and has never had any mechanical problems. I just hit 40k and no rattles or squeaks just pure driving pleasure. I never get tired of hearing "cool car" on almost every trip to the store. I don't know if BMW's/Porsche's get such praise because there's so many and they look alike. That's the difference between a great car and special great car.

Can you please do a review on a AUDI SQ5?

Nice review! 2017 is the Year of Lotus a new supercare incoming ;)

Good review!

Drop the price by $15k and it's the perfect car

whats the name of the song at 0:35

there is a much easier way to enter and exit a car like that than the one shown. open the driver's door then turn your back to the interior and sit down SIDEWAYS into the seat such that you're facing out. reach with your right hand to hold on to the steering wheel for balance if you must, then swing your legs in. trying to step in with your right leg first is NOT the way to do it. once sitting in the seat sideways, facing out, your feet and legs are at the proper level to swing under the steering wheel, knock your two feet together (to remove dirt and rocks if you're the type) without touching anything. reverse the process to get out. you'll save wear and tear on the left side seat bolster, the door sill and kick plates too. on another note: why in the world they redesigned the front end in the later models is something i'll never understand. IMO a giant step backward. excellent review BTW.

what was the price of it?

Best car reviewer hands down.

Watching this in the dark almost gave me epilepsy

I like the car but why do lotus needs rear seats in the car if no one is going to fit in the rear.

I love this review. It’s really articulate. It’s good to know that those switch gears and buttons are crappy feeling because I care a lot about where I sit in a car

Really fair review

It looks like a hennessey venom gt in the rear ,mclaren mp4-12c/f1 in the front and alfa romeo 4c body size

Maybe you should review a GT-R R35 one day? I'd like to see your reaction to the launch control.. lol

it sucks that the climate controls feel chintzy? because the original Lotus Evora had solid aluminum controls. Did they make them cheaper or something for the later models?

Has a smile reminiscence of the NC1 Miata :)

What song is this?

Nice, Lotus needs to fix the lack of space in the footwell and only then, many people would / will buy this car.

Agreed with the McLaren look comment. The front end, especially the headlights, look like a MP4-12C.

Redline Reviews when are you guys gona do a nissan GTR review?

dat miata smile

"this... wheel well thing" *point* lol just call it a sill leading to the wheel well. the driving tunnel may be tight but it's much worse in higher exotics. I recall the wheel humps on the Countach forced the pedals to be awkwardly condensed near the center of the car, making for interesting learning curve for even experienced drivers.

"Some of the ergonomics are a little bit of a fail." Oh man, I laughed so hard.

You are in D.C.?

looks like a really fun drivers car. Not a lot of those anymore.

From directly in front, it looks happy. Kind of like a last gen Mazda.. I like it(:

Once you mentioned the key, I noticed the Ford Transit uses the same design and the turn signal switch and the wiper lever come from a 2007 Ford Focus! :D or maybe Ford just uses a bunch of parts from all over? :/

so its a scion fr-s with better suspension,looks,and a supercharged engine. great car

These are awesome cars! (:

Do the 2007-8 Exige!

Lotus still exists in America!!???? Damn I haven't heard about Lotus in YEARS and they don't even show a single Lotus in all the newest car videos and magazines here. I thought they just stopped selling them in general in U.S. Porsche is definitely the way to go for the high end sports car/low end super car category.

I find it quite funny you'll pay 90 G's for this car but the turn signal and wiper control stalks are the same and/or nearly identical as the ones in my 2002 Ford Focus.....IJS! Still a nice car though!

I believe the Ford GT has the same Ford Focus stalks.

Nice Review Of 2014 Lotus Evora. 😁

That MX5 smile though

Brilliant!

Congratulations on that jean.

The Evora is my Dream Car!!!!

it's weird that i don't get to choose HD quality on this video

I agree that engine is so sexy that I can listen you rev that "Camry engine" up for 10 hours straight

I think of it more as a hand built exotic sports car than a supercar. I guess I would consider at the Evora 400 a supercar.

2GR-FE is a Toyota/Lexus V6 lol...interesting choice of engine

I LOVE THIS CAR

The side profile looks like a shorter Spyker.

Why does he drive on the second gear so much?

15:12 the left rear view mirror :D

Lol did you see the leaf when he was rev

I wish it had a targa top!! Evora roadster!

Why are some cars illegal, esp the elise?

So this car is made from old car parts?

Sounds good.. Wouldn't say this v6 sounds better than nsx though.

Dude hold the button in when you pull the hand brake all cars make that noise and if you were a real car guy you would know this

The Lotus Elise is also sold here.

B is for build
