Overview

The 2015 Lotus Evora 400 and 2007 Lotus 2-Eleven GT4 Supersport share a manufacturer in Lotus, but that's where the similarities get interesting. These two models reveal the versatility and ambition of the Lotus brand. The 2015 Lotus Evora 400 holds a clear advantage in raw power with 400 hp compared to 252 hp, a 148-horsepower difference that shapes the driving experience. Under the hood, the contrast is notable: the Lotus Evora uses a V6 Supercharged displacing 3,456 cc, while the Lotus 2-Eleven relies on a Inline-4 DOHC Supercharged with 1,796 cc. In the sprint to 60 mph, the 2007 Lotus 2-Eleven GT4 Supersport edges ahead at 3.8 seconds versus 4.1 seconds. The Lotus 2-Eleven carries a weight advantage, tipping the scales 1598 lbs lighter. Rarity plays a significant role here — with only 250 units built, the 2007 Lotus 2-Eleven GT4 Supersport is considerably scarcer than the Lotus Evora's 3,500 examples. Both trade at comparable values on the collector market, making the choice between them largely one of personal preference.
