Hi there,
I recently rented a base IPS Evora and absolutely fell in love with the car. I'm currently in the market for a weekend car and the Evora totally fits the bill for me.
My budget is really closer to the $40K mark at the moment which likely means I would be looking at base model Evoras.
I have (3) big questions on my end.
I honestly feel like the power range of the Evora S is really the jump to make the base Evora a bit more exciting (not that it isn't already awesome to begin with). Is supercharging the base Evora remotely feasible for around $8-$10K? It's not something I would do immediately in ownership, but something I would like the potential to do down the road.
Likewise, I really love the exhaust sound of the Evora 400. Is it possible to have the base Evora sound somewhat similar with an aftermarket system? Not expecting apples to apples, just something a bit more on the aggressive said than the base Evora (which isn't bad by any means).
When I do purchase an Evora I plan on it being my "fun" car for a fairly long time (like 10ish years at least). I had an old C5 Corvette at one point in my life that had lots of electrical gremlins, but the nice thing is that parts were always available and it was fairly easy to service. I've read some horror stories of certain parts not being available for the 400's and I assume they are on the harder side to work on. So I was just curious what serviceability was like with these. The good news is that as a weekend car small things probably wouldn't bug me as much as they would on a daily driver. With a used car I'm always worried about it turning into a money pit once I start discovering its problems.
Of course I could very well just hold off until I can afford a 400 or an Evora S but the $60K-$80K range that those models are fetching at the moment is just too high for me.
Appreciate all thoughts and feedback!
