Yes I think the Evora is superb, and it has occurred to me to get a new one as a works car, and then buy an Exige to replace my Evora...aren't I a lucky sod! Mind you I look at some profiles on here and my potential garage is put to shame.

Any Evora S owners got real world fuel economy figures?

Have an Evora S due next month :-)
Averaging 18 here, but 90% of driving is a cross town commute, stop start etc. On a motorway run can average 27mpg at a staeady speed.

It's heavy traffic/traffic jams that I have found crucifies the fuel consumption. Obviously this happens in all cars, but the Evora seems to use a disproportionate amount of fuel when it's sitting still.

For example, I regularly do Epsom/Birmingham and always hit traffic on the M25 on the way back. The average MPG to/from Birmingham generally loses about 5-10% in most cars in this traffic, the Evora seems to drop nearer 15-20%.

That said, considering the type of car, I am more than happy with the fuel consumption.

Avg 14-16 mpg but mostly short trips. Had the Evora S since last November and done less than 700 miles so far but gonna start using more. Didn't buy a sports car for the economy anyway :-)
