2017 Lotus Evora vs. 2017 Toyota Camry XSE

It should be like comparing apples and oranges when comparing a British sportscar to a Japanese midsized sedan

there is one significant resemblance between the 2017 Toyota Camry XSE and the 2017 Lotus Evora

Although there have been slight changes for fuel efficiency or power, the heart of these automobiles

Both the 2017 Toyota Camry XSE and the 2017 Lotus Evora take advantage of the Toyota-built 2GR-FE engine.

But both companies are still using it today, and for good reason.

After all, the engine has been steadfast and reliable after all these years.

Many of Toyota’s engines were known to burn oil, partially due to worn-out piston rings.

But the 3.5L V6 has no such weakness. And it also utilizes Toyota’s dual variable valve timing
