My opinion is to have a MY12 car , good pedigree . N/A or S is secondary , the N/A is able to have an upgrade to 300 bhp which leaves is a little short of the S. N/A needs the c/r box . Based on having a LE Evora and a S IPS . However the IPS is my gearbox of choice , suits my motoring requirements .
Just buy any Evora , I think you will not be disappointed !

OP went to a Porker, oh well, we can't save them all. Just an update re the above. Komotec do an upgrade to 300bhp for the NA which is well proven and uses new headers, new exhaust and an ECU remap.

However, you can also go CAI - which will give around 290bhp for a few hundred quid.

Finally, you can go to something from 2bular - a full headers and exhaust change with removal of all Lotus cats and replacement with a single 200cel cat. K&N filter and an ECU tune will see you almost hitting 320bhp - which is only 20bhp off the "S" model but about 50% of the price to upgrade to and your NA Evora with CR box will be significantly lighter than the standard S setup. So, the difference in performance, straight line on the track will be negligible but arguably on twisty roads the NA will be better A to B through the twisties due to weight savings etc.

This is the route I'm going down with my car, after a lot of research into the options.
