2011 Lotus Evora Heads to Online Auction With Manual Gearbox and Lightweight Performance Focus

A 2011 Lotus Evora is set to be offered through an online auction platform, reflecting continued demand for lightweight, driver-focused sports cars in the secondary market.

The Evora, configured as a 2+2 coupe, is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. The powertrain, sourced from Toyota, was originally rated at 276 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, delivering performance to the rear wheels in a layout aimed at maximizing driving engagement.

With nearly 30,000 miles recorded, the vehicle presents as a relatively low-mileage example of the early Evora lineup. The model is positioned as a balance between everyday usability and Lotus’ traditional focus on handling precision. Its chassis incorporates a double-wishbone suspension system with forged aluminum components, supported by Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers. Anti-roll bars at both the front and rear contribute to stability, while braking is handled by cross-drilled rotors paired with Lotus-branded calipers.

The exterior is finished in silver and features design elements consistent with the Evora’s understated yet purposeful styling. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, LED taillights, an integrated rear spoiler, and dual center-exit exhaust outlets. The car rides on staggered alloy wheels measuring 18 inches in the front and 19 inches in the rear, fitted with performance-oriented tires.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in black leather, extending across the seats, dashboard, and center console. Recaro sport seats are fitted up front, while a compact rear seating area provides additional practicality. Technology features include air conditioning, power windows and locks, and an Alpine touchscreen audio system with navigation. The driver interface includes a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 9,000 rpm range, along with supplementary displays for key vehicle data.

The vehicle is being offered without a listed price as it enters a seven-day auction with a reserve. Buyers are encouraged to complete inspections prior to bidding, as the sale is structured with finality once completed. The listing reflects a broader shift toward online sales for enthusiast vehicles, where detailed listings and remote access play a key role in the transaction process. See it here.
