Lotus Evora GT430 Sport: The Fastest Lotus Ever - Carfection 

The Evora really deserves better than it is getting. It is the British Porsche 911and still its own animal. It should be wildly more popular and just one of those sports cars everyone just knows when you say its name.

The V6s in these Lotuses sound soo good

It does look really tasty now, its like wine, it took a little time to mature. Can't wait to see what Geely will do with Lotus, after what they done with Volvo, it's very promising.

Fantastic car, I cannot even imagine the feeling of driving it on track with that engine and no weight...

He seems very close to the steering wheel.

Very nice Sir. It was a joy watching the episode. Grew up seeing the Lotus Elise and Esprit , also had a poster of them in black pasted in my walls when i was much younger.

I love my lotus. Drives better than cars 3 times it's value

The thing I love about Lotus is its purity. It does exactly what it wants to do. I know that it's probably not as well put together, or dynamically complete as say a 911 but I think I'd take this over one...

At first you guys took it down and i was like WTF! Great car and reviewer.👌👍

Incredible car would love to buy one over any other sports car, its not so mainstream as Ferrari or Lambo which makes it more unique and desirable in my eyes.

Lotus please don't ever stop making them with a manual gear box! It's just so much fun.

That red look so good

Who ever though a Toyota Camry engine can sound so sweet?

The perfect track weapon, I’ve tested a Lotus on my channel too, amazing car

I mean... i just got a 400 and your telling me there's a better one out there now!

I LOVE lotus, and have since I was 12. Long may it continue

Very good production value!

Lotus has done an amazing job with their more modern cars, they look absolutely stunning, I’ve never driven one but I’m a fan without question. For a street car, I think it’s top notch all the way. I’m wishing for an Evora.

I’m rooting for Lotus as well

Waaaaw that 430 S looks good without the wing and in that colour !!

Ive been waiting for this

Patiently waiting for the Evora 500

Truly Epic sport’s cars there.

I've driven on that track and its awesome!

What colour is the one without the wing - the GT430 Sport ?? Looks like slate grey or something

„No matter where the money comes from.“ lol

In the late 80‘s early 90‘s lotus was the quintessential car to go to on the amiga 500

Awesome cars 👍🏼

That sweet Came V6 is a beast. Sounds great too. Let's wait for the Supra.

For those who wanted to know the actual figure for the weight: the sport is 1248kg dry, and the standard is 10kg heavier with the wing etc.

Thank you Geely

@Carfection: I agree with you what you said at the end of your video. I truthly hope so. Too!! I would like to know if they will bring out the new Lotus Esprit from 1999 from VTT CONCEPT

I suspect because of the weight the brakes don't have as much work to do.

Silver is my favorite color for cars but damn. That red Evora looks beautiful.

Engine sounds amazing

Sounds beautiful

Lotus car's are made for true drivers. Just sensational !

Love the new lotus!!

Alex, please do all the Lotus tests !

I am mad that this isn't available in the US. Although I can get the 400, I really want the GT430 sport.

Patiently waiting for the Lotus Evora 500, so that the evora 480 goes down in price which makes the evora 430 drop in price which means the evora 410 is now evora 400 prices so that now I can finally finance a used evora s.

With the interior camera angle, all I can keep looking at is the gap between the steering wheel and column.

This car has old porsche like induction noise...love it for that

This video is 9:11 long, hmm....

Love these cars

Is the seating position actually that close or do you choose to sit like that? Looks like you’re sat really high and really close to the steering wheel

Is that brake system ceramicly upgraded?

Looks good

What an awesone car

FYI= Evora gt430: 1)top speed 190mph 2)0-62 in 3.8 3)downforce of 250kg 4)Weigth of 1258kg 5)lots of carbon and aero 6)hathel lap time 1:25.8(faster in tracks) 7)power to weight ratio is 442HP 8)price £112,500 Gt430 sport: 1)top speed 196 mph 2)0-62 in 3.7sec 3)downforce 100kg 4)wieght 1248kg 5)hathel lap time 1:26.8(faster in straight line) 6)power to weight ratio is 445HP 7)price:£104,500(cheaper cause less carbon fiber) *both come with titanium exhaust as standard. *both beat 3-eleven record. *sublime and best handling in the world. P/s:don't start comparing this car with Porsche u idiot fanatic porsche fanboy.Cause this car going to bring shame to other car in it's class and generation.Lotus slowly becoming koenisegg and this car is little koenisegg.

When will they be selling this in the US?

Love my Evora.

I don't know who the presenter/driver is but I'm intrigued by his accent. Is he an Irishman who has lived a long time in America, or an American who has lived a long time in Ireland?

The lotus Evora, the car we all want but if we actually were in a situation where we could afford one, most of us would go to stuttgart instead.

so does this replace the elise?

gotta love Lotus..

Made me cry..

God bless Lotus for keeping the Manual Transmission!

For a second there (on the thumbnail) I thought this was the new Supra.

Skivvies are back!!!

Driving Tips for this reviewer: 1- You are sitting too far away from the steering wheel, you should move forward at least another 2-3 feet. If your helmet is not touching the front windshield and the steering column is not all the way down your throat, you are sitting too far away. 2- Your hands should be in the 12 and 6 positions at all times. Just leave your left hand gently on top of the steering wheel and then Yank on it with your right hand. 3- When approaching turns, move your whole body and head froward(if possible)to be able to check the hairpin before turning into it using the technique in step 2. 4- Remember to have fun. If your front tires are not squealing in agony, you are not having fun. You are welcome!

Can we get this in the us?

Lotus. ❤️🙏

Why's he dressed like that? Does the Evora love Milk Tray?

It basically weighs nothing? C'mon man, give us the proper stats

Can somebody please explain this man how to hold a steering wheel...

Will this car be sold in the USA? So far I drove the 400... not bad but this 430 looks like a much better driving experience.

Lotus Evora..... Britain's own GTR

How much do these cars cost, please?

🔥

There are three types of mid-engined cars. The less expensive ones with 4-cylinder turbo engines, like the 4c, Cayman/Boxter and Alpina A110. From there there's a huge jump to V10 naturally aspirated or V8 Turbo cars, like the R8, Hurracan, 488 and all McLaren does. Finally, there is also the V12 Aventador and the W16 Turbo Bugatti. The Evora is alone with a V6 supercharged engine. Geely should make a better 6-cylinder engine, maybe a variant of the super-turbo charged 2.0 Volvo engine, sharper design with just 2 seats and more advanced Volvo type of interior. The 911 Carrera or the 718 aren't exotic cars. The Lotus Evora could be, and they should also use the classic black and gold F-1 Lotus livery (when they were sponsored by John Player Special). If sold for 911 Carrera money, which has a huge markup, a truly exotic, luxurious and technologically advanced Evora would be an easy pick.

It sounds like a baby LFA with a bit of R35 GTR sound

if I can have 2 cars, one will always be this.

Wouldn't the Exige Cup 430 be much faster than this? At least in terms of lap times, rather than top speed perhaps?

4k video soon guys ? Almost 2018 now

Lotus has been a footnote in the automotive industry for so long, they need to make some waves. To do so, they need to take a page out of Honda's playbook. Back in the day, Honda offered Ferrari levels of performance for half the price in the NSX. Lotus should do that on a Porsche level... all they need are 3 models, one that offers 911 performance and usability for half the price, one that does the same with the Boxster, and of course an SUV.

What happened to Alex?

I think Henry should test the sports cars

Personally prefer the look of the 400/410, but I wish Lotus all the best.

Pureist love

.i love loutus

The best thing about Evora is Camry Motor.

Why is this car not available in America ?

That sound is astonishing. Surprisingly its just a V6.

Just make an esprit v8 twin turbo or a new evora longitudinal v6 twin turbo and some FIA GT Spec cars. I would love to see them endurance racing again

WOW!!!

I wish they offered the Evora GTE body from 2011/2012 with this 430 HP and slightly wider tires. Also, how do sports cars manufacturers, sell cars without an oil temp. water temp and oil pressure gauges is beyond me.

Don't forget the Lotus Elise GT1 ;)

TEST THE S65 AMG COUPE, PLEASE!

is it only in 2+0 ?

I really miss Alex... Please bring him back! Exuded class and enthusiasm in spades whereas this bloke just falls flat

Up to 6'5"? I fit!

Lotus is constantly in the shadow of Porsche. Including in this video's length.

To think this car debuted.with a meager 276 hp....evolution if the breed!

Not trying to be too critical but the low windscreen gives an illusion of being high and you forgot to review the way the car drives really which is why people purchase ... lucky you drove one though 👍

I WANT

I want to see it with a v10 or v12 though.

Still waiting for gt510 super cup

mreeeeeeeeeee loveeeeeeee loutusss

I’m pretty sure the 430 cup is the fastest Lotus. Maybe not in a straight line but definitely in the corners
