A real road and track car
Climbing in the car is tricky, but you don’t need to learn any contortion techniques. The cockpit is pretty snug, and visibility out back is limited to perfect mirror adjustment and a minuscule rear backlight. If you choose the available 2+2 seating, there are child-seat latches in the back, if you fancy an Evora as a family car. Fit and finish is good, although not as impeccable as in a Porsche or an Audi.

Options include a Tech Pack (touch-screen multimedia system with Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, rear park assist, Homelink, subwoofer), Leather and SuedeTex upholstery packages, heated seats, power-folding mirrors and a rearview camera. You can also swap the 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels for 19s and 20s.

The Evora S will start trickling into US dealerships just about now at a base price of $76,000 USD. That’s roughly $9K more than the base car with the Sport Pack and the Sports-Ratio Gearbox added in. In Canada, the Evora S will start at $88,000 CDN, or about $11K more than an equivalent base Evora.

A lightweight sports car that’s awfully good on the track but remains fairly comfortable on city streets is something we’re pretty fond of. The supercharged Evora S piles on extra acceleration and marginal handling while sounding meaner all the while. We’re takers.
