The Elise and Exige are rolling proof that you don’t need a gazillion horsepower to enjoy blistering and performance and handling. What these cars lack in straight-line speed, they make up for in cornering abilities along with the intense sensation of driving a pure sports car.

The Evora, however, is the daily driver in the brand’s line-up. It doesn’t have the go-kart feel of an Exige, but offers ride comfort when you’re not on a closed circuit. If you don’t ever bring it to a track, however, you’d really be missing something.

The car’s uneven weight distribution (39% front, 61% rear) is deceiving; one might expect excessive oversteer, but it isn’t the case. The Evora corners flat, hangs on, scrubs its outside front wheel and remains joyfully controllable and poised.
