Evora /Evora "S"

[road hog]

on the 2nd hand market , there seems to be a £10k difference in price ..

is it worth it..

Not IMO. To me the S is a bit quicker, more torque, but found it to be a bit of a lazier drive and not quite as exciting. Thats just me though. I like the revvy nature of the NA. The S would certainly be a nicer car to drive as a GT with the extra low down oomph

However, if I change my NA for another Evora I think I will go for the S. Sounds daft I know, but at least that way I could justify it to myself

£10k could take you on a few damn good holidays!

I drove the Evora S, followed by the normally aspirated Evora IPS and I'd be inclined to agree. You notice the extra punch of the Evora S in the mid-range, but keep the revs up in the n/a car and it's not a huge difference.

A normally aspirated car with the pre-cats removed and a change of exhaust and air intake will apparently get you in the 300bhp region too.

I test drove the IPS and the normal S. There was a difference, but not enough to make me cough up the extra money for the extra BHP. I could get that effect with IPS in sports mode - at least enough of it.

Is the ten grand difference on cars of the same age? The NA car was launched first, so the cheapest NA will be way less than the cheapest S.

S if you want to do track days or you want to tweak it, as they respond very well to a set of manifolds and an intake. Also, if mine is anything to go by they seem to loosen up and get a bit quicker with miles.

Personally I like the extra midrange for every day driving, but I wouldnt argue with someone who would rather have the lower price and better fuel economy.

Yes but road tax is more

We went for an S after driving both back to back a few times. Would spend the whole time longing for an S if I had an N/A. We take delivery in just over a week... Quite excited!
