Summary: 2011 Lotus Evora S, VIN SCCLMDSU4BHA11842, six speed manual transmission, rare special order Bordeau red
exterior, black leather interior, 8,076 miles, showroom condition inside and out, Larini muffler, upgraded Wilwood
clutch reservoir, clean and extensive history, 2 owners. Originally special ordered by Denver area Lotus club
member, currently MD enthusiast owned. Being sold as part of an upgrade to a McLaren MP4-12C.
Background: The Lotus Evora S is a significant upgrade to the already great standard Evora, bumping HP from 276 in
the standard car to 345 via a 5.5 psi supercharger added to the 3.5L V6. Other S upgrades include an improved
shift linkage for the six speed manual, more aggressive exterior styling, and suspension upgrades. The S also
includes optional base Evora packages as standard, including the sport suspension and sport gearbox. Performance
from the Evora S matches the exotic styling, as the 3171 lb lightweight sports car will do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and
pull 0.98 G on the skid pad. The driving experience is pure Lotus, agile and responsive without being harsh. The
Larini exhaust provides an exotic sound track without being obnoxious, a perfect fit for the car. Unlike its more
hardcore brothers the Elise and Exige, the Evora is equally capable of being a track toy or a daily driver.

Exterior: Absolutely incredible condition outside. Per the description when buying the car, this may be the only
Evora with a Bordeau red exterior as it was special ordered by the original owner and not found on the standard
color list. Regardless it is certainly rare and an absolutely stunning color, the pictures do not do the depth and
richness of the color justice. Extensively detailed and nearly flawless, the car has a clean accident history and
original paint. Forged alloy wheels are in like new condition without curbing or other damage, and wear Michelin
Pilot Super Sport tires with like new tread. Original and excellent condition glass without visible wear. The
only exterior flaw of note is light scuffing on the underside of the front bumper lower lip, which is not visible
unless the car is on a lift. The underside is extensively detailed as well, with the car sharing time on a four
post lift with a Shelby Super Snake.
Interior: As new condition inside. Flawless without any stains, tears, wear, damage, pets, or smoking. The
upgraded audio, navigation, and rear view camera are worthwhile optional upgrades to the standard Evora audio
system. All features work flawlessly, with ice cold A/C, hot heat, cruise control, power windows/locks/mirrors,
etc. The rear seats were upgraded to leather seats from another Evora, so they are a perfect match to the leather
front buckets. Very light scuffing on the driver’s side Recaro outer bolster is the only flaw. The rear seats
are in like new condition, and while small are usable for children or a short drive in a pinch. The cockpit is
overall a very comfortable place to spend time, driver oriented and high quality. An exceptional car.
Mechanical: Again, as new condition. As expected the driving experience is amazing, the steering is typical Lotus
telepathic, the brakes are strong and responsive, the shifter is smooth and positive with a linear and easy to
modulate clutch, and the suspension and mid-engined layout yield a scalpel of a car. Finally the upgraded
supercharged 3.5L V6 belies its Toyota beginnings with smooth linear power, responsive from all RPM levels, and an
exotic sound with the supercharger undertone. The exhaust also provides an incredible sound with an amazing howl
at higher RPM levels, but still mellow at lower RPMs. The clutch reservoir has been upgraded to a Wilwood unit to
improve feel and reduce fade when hot. This Lotus drives exactly as well as you would expect a pampered car with
just over 8,000 miles to drive, and that is as new. No mechanical flaws to note, the engine starts easily without
smoke or warning lights, there are no leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly without grinding, the clutch is free
of chatter or slipping, the brakes are smooth and strong without pulling, and the suspension is free of clunks or
other negative characteristics. Owned by two obsessive car enthusiasts this Lotus has never been subjected to any
variety of racing, instead it has lived life stored indoors under cover and driven on nice days only. Again, as
new condition.
Maintenance: Very well maintained but also very reliable, this Lotus has wanted for nothing. Recent maintenance
includes multiple inspections, an improved clutch reservoir, multiple engine oil changes, transmission oil, brake
and clutch bleed, pollen filter, engine filter, and driver’s door latch. Records are available for services, the
car is exceptional and needs nothing.
Conclusion: This Lotus Evora S is absolutely exceptional inside and out, with a rare color and upgraded exhaust
only adding to the desirability. Clean history and well documented, just exceptional. For serious shoppers
looking for a well-equipped and perfect condition Evora S, you won’t find one nicer. This exceptional car is
located in Wichita, KS, upon request a copy of the Carfax and over 150 high resolution photos will be provided. A
custom fitted Lotus car cover is also included. Thank you in advance for your interest, you will not be
disappointed.
