Technicalities aside... the 111r is a blast to drive (both stocker and RM'd), and is probably my favourite in game. Evora is also fun to drive, and though I've got a couple now, I haven't put the Espirit/Europa through their respective paces yet. All round though, I haven't an issue with any of the Lotus' 👍
That car is a monster when fully modified. Try driving it using comfort soft tyres with the stability control turned off, it's definitely a challenge.
Anyway, as much as I like the fully modified Elise 111R RM, what with the insane amount of grip it generates through corners, I would say my favourite Lotus is the Motorsport Elise.
