Used Car of the Day: 2011 Lotus Evora S

by Tim Healey

Published: January 24th, 2024

Hey, wanna buy a Lotus?

This 2011 Lotus Evora S with 51,000 miles and a manual transmission might be your speed.

The car appears to be well-maintained and the seller says it's "well-sorted".

Mods include a carbon-fiber louvered rear window, carbon fiber sail panel, a GT4-style wing, modified tail lights, Alcantara steering wheel, rear subwoofers, front tweeters, and Recaro seats. The intake, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, and shifter are all modded.

The brakes are also upgraded -- and there's even more I am not listing here for the sake of brevity.

Some of the downsides include flawed paint and some cosmetic issues on the inside and undercarriage.

Click here to see this Wisconsin-based car -- note the Road America license plate, I approve -- that has an ask of $55,000.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

ToolGuy TTAC Podcast. Also stacks of parts in the livingroom for 3 different vehicles.
Scott This situation is a replay of what caused Ford to kill off almost all their car lines and abandon the mini van segment. Zero interest rates and piles of money on the hood to motivate buyers. They have learned nothing and the rate of losses are accelerating.

ToolGuy "Will the EV market stagnate at 7 percent for a while? Or is this merely like ‘the stall’ when smoking a brisket?"• I ain't too bright, and I can't afford brisket (as far as you know). But it occurs to me that until a new EV is introduced, it can't sell. And not every market segment even offers an EV yet (as pointed out in the very fine TTAC Podcast).(Then when Manufacturer J introduces Model M, the pipeline has to be filled and customers have to adjust and conventional dealers are gonna do the dealer thing and some potential customers are going to wait around for the charger standard to stabilize and tax credits are bouncing around with the rules changing and is the Osborne effect a real thing it might be but the mainstream press wants to focus on monthly or quarterly or whatever looks the most alarming and say the sky is falling well I ain't buying it, yet. Meanwhile the U.S. ain't the only place on the planet.)
