2014 | 3k-Mile Lotus Evora S IPS 2+2
Overview
10 years into the new millennium, Lotus Cars launched a new flagship mid-engine offering. The model’s Evora namesake succeeded a legacy of greats, renowned for lithe handling and sporting character first and foremost. Powered by a 3.5L V6, the Evora’s 2+2 layout garnered attention as a true contender among a select few enthusiast cars designed around cabin comfort on par with performance. The UK manufacturer struck gold in balancing a true evolution of the car’s former Elise and Exige forbearers with an everyday use case.
The car’s baked-in versatility and giant-slayer credentials soon warranted a wider business case. By model year 2012, available S trim and IPS shifting—short for Intelligent Precision Shift—raised output and added automatic shifting respectively. In concert, the top auto Evora solved the commute with no compromise to track-day competency. S supercharging netted 345hp, alongside an array of high-caliber standard equipment.
Finished in Ardent Red over Black, this 1-owner 2014 Lotus Evora S IPS 2+2 punches well above its weight. Inside, Premium Pack Sport and Tech Pack optioning unfold to offer touchscreen Alpine infotainment, heated Recaro front seats w/red piping & stitching, SuedeTex/leather-wrapped interior trim, and accent lighting. S model Sport Pack hardware includes 3-piece diffuser fascia, cross-drilled brakes w/red-painted calipers, and titanium exhaust. This example’s six-speed automatic transmission is equipped with manual Sport Mode shifting. Independent double-wishbone suspension features Bilstein dampers plus Eibach coaxial springs and anti-sway bars for sublime feedback. Now sold with a clean title, Carfax report, and third-party inspection report, this 3k-mile Lotus is sure to please.
