Exclusive: The all great Lotus Evora

With its stunning visual impact, exhilarating all-round dynamic
performance, innovative chassis technology and high levels
of luxury, packaging and convenience, the Evora heralds an
exciting new era for Lotus.

The first all-new Lotus since the iconic Elise made its debut in 1995, The
Evora enters the sports car market as currently the world’s only mid-engined
2+2. Powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 280 PS, and
weighing just 1350 kg (prototype specification), the Evora promises
breathtaking performance. During preliminary testing around the famous
Nürburgring, the Lotus chassis engineers report that it is extremely agile and
great fun to drive – even when clad with the full development disguise that hid
the beautiful lines from the prying motor-industry paparazzi.

In addition to its excellent performance and exemplary handling, the Evora
offers a more refined ownership experience than Lotus’s existing smaller four cylinder models. Its elegantly styled cabin is elegantly trimmed and its
equipment list includes contemporary features such as an advanced touchscreen multi-media system and electric power-fold door mirrors.
