The 2020 Evora GT Is the Best Lotus We’ve Seen in Decades

Everybody wants to love Lotus. The 71-year-old British automaker has been a favorite of real-life daredevil Ayrton Senna and fictional superspy James Bond alike. Its perfectly cool, wedge-shaped Lotus Esprit and chic Evora designs have set style standards for generations.
But Lotus doesn’t make loving it easy. The marque has spent years offering only intermittent sales in the U.S. And for many enthusiasts, the mechanical reliability of its older cars, as well as the fit and finish of its newer ones, have simply not kept up their end of the bargain. Perhaps the just-announced $2.1 million all-electric Evija will redeem them, with looks as beautiful as its counterparts from Italy.
