Lotus Evora S vs 400: Is The S Still Great Value? 

Fantastic video James! Really enjoyed seeing you review my car and pretty much agree with everything you said!! Aside from suspension which I thought was a step up on yours without feeling harsher.. but then I'm not a professional so who knows! Thanks buddy, it was a lot of fun, look forward to the next one! Jack

As i kid in the 70's i had a Gorgi Lotus JPS with a gold trailer rocking the F1 car. My love for Lotus has never changed and that's how i found your channel. Keep up the good work pal!

another great video J, very watchable, I'm now really wanting an Evora :-) !!

I love your Lotus videos. Thank you for reviewing these wonderful cars.

This is soooo funny. Saw both vids (following both of you for a few years now). Really very very funny to see - really well done! Like the Evora as well (and plan to switch from Elise to Evora maybe this year or next). (I know you sold your Evora a year ago)

Love the video, it's great seeing the comparison.

I'm a Lotus nut (Owned 12) however they all now suffer the same problem! They are to expensive new. I owned a N/A 2010 Evora, great handling, comfortable, brilliant breaks, stunning looking and quite well made. Performance was poor thou. Got left for dead by a A45 & Bmw 135i (Part of the reason I sold it on was it just wasn't powerful enough for such an amazing looking car. Great video sir ! Seriously looking to get back into the brand at some point either this year or next. keep the Lotus content coming buddy.

Love all your lotus videos!

More Collaborations like this please James 👍🏼

Good review James

Ah excellent collab!

Just bought an Evora S. The sound the engine makes is just nuts. It doesn't feel like a V6 at all.

My ancestor from England did not drive an Evora before leaving England in 1618 aboard the Constance. Pity, what! I'm making up for his early birth by having my second Evora S, following a 1990 Esprit SE, a 2008 Anniversary Ed. (SC'd) and a NA Elise with 191 rwhp race car which weighed 1900 lbs with me in it. The only thing I can find wrong with the Evora S is the driver's side (left side in USA) cramped left foot well. And, of course, I can't drive it ALL THE TIME. I traded a Challenger Hellcat for the Evora S. Much different cars. The Evora rides a little rougher but drives a LOT BETTA. Blimmey. What a Sports car this S really is. Now, to install a Plack straight pipe for musical appreciation.... I love James' videos.

Great video, really think evora S is great value for money

looks like you're in Surrey on the North Downs B roads and at Box Hill. Aw that's my home, would recognise anywhere.

Aw the 'Micky (MIckleham) Bends'. A24 Leatherhead to Dorking. Great road past Box Hill and through the North Downs continuing down the A24 beyond Dorking heading for Sussex, the South Downs and Brighton. Best roads in the South East. MIss home :-(

I pick up my Evora in a week from BOE in Kansas ! Soooo excited... it’s only been SEVEN MONTHS without her 😰

I hoped you two will work together when I saw No27's Evora collection video!

Great to see two LOTUS together

Excellent..

Really enjoyed this and great to know the Evora S is still a great buy. Whilst they deserved to sell in greater numbers it means they stubbornly hold their value compared to most 996 models bar the GT3 that are sub £20k. Can you replicate the fantastic noise of the 400 on an S, this is a must?

The Evora S is, and always will be, a great car, as is the 400. Any difference/superiority between the two is merely incremental, and will be forgotten as soon as you start driving either car. The shirt, however, leaves a lot of room for improvement‼️ The review is, as always, excellent.👍🏼👍🏼

Great Video. I just recently brought a my12 sport racer version naturally aspirated i find the car sounds great. Really loud in sports mode. Did the my12 version get an improved exhaust system?

Hi Jay, just wondered what the yellow signature is on the dash? And was the yellow interior trims custom done, if so by whom? Thanks Tony (don’t suppose you know who stocks the new cup holder centre console?)

Here in Australia an Evora S is about 50,000 pounds and a 400 is about 100,000 pounds. Both a bit steep for me.

Both are great drivers cars.

These are amazing GT cars with the chassis, steering and brake feel of an Elise. Completely underrated. Find a good example and you will never drive anything better whatever money you pay. And I prefer the looks of the original model, exterior and interior.

I wanted to see maybe a drag race ect... Not just a guy talking about what he feels

Evora S for 40k.. or keep building money and wait for the 400 to depreciate? Easy.

I love my solar yellow 350 evora S .....A french lotus driver !!!!!!!.

i find the front end of the S much more to my liking. too many sharp angles on the 400, IMO.

Has anyone put a 400 exhaust on an S? Would be interesting to see how close the sound gets.

Alot of car for the money👍

The blue car is the 400 or the S?

If I was in one of them cars and saw one more spandex clad cyclist on a gorgeous country road like that I'd start knocking them off!

how's insurance on this car?

Angry Dyson LOL ... hence why I just bought an exhaust system

👍🏽😊

What sort of price these going for emm?

I have to say i'm very disappointed in your muted choice of shirt. I've had my Evora S for nearly 3 years now and occasionally think about buying something else, then I drive it and fall in love with it all over again.

Basically the 400 has VTEC and the S does not. Sorry, but I might have a mental diagnosis of Honda.

The S is much better looking, apart from the rear.

Great cars but not without their problems. Here's all the videos on mine including the problems... ru-vid.com/group/PLOCda-wyPDq1Fz6Q5TNXBWjk50_XgKJg7
