This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Lotus Evora S; a faster, lairier, more sideways version of Hethel's most excellent sports coupe.
Addressing a tiny bugbear we've had for some time on the Evora, the S gets a supercharger strapped to its 3.5-litre Toyota V6 loins, upping power to a rather righteous 345bhp and 295lb ft of torque...and finally into genuine sportscar country.
The 0-62mph dash now takes 4.6s (4.9s for the standard car), while top speed rises 10mph to 172mph.
The sideways-ness comes courtesy of revised traction control settings, allowing more drift before the system intervenes. You even get more �grrr' with the S, thanks to an exhaust bypass valve courtesy of the standard fit sports pack, which also improves throttle response.
The Evora S gets revised suspension settings, a larger rear diffuser and cross-drilled brakes to deal with the added grunt under the bonnet, while Lotus is - unusually - also offering a paddle-shift auto for the standard Evora.
Still want that Cayman?
