Lotus Evora continues testing at Nurburgring
...with all covers off, testing continues ahead of its launch
It may have already had its worldwide unveiling at the British Motor Show, but that does not mean the work of the engineers are over.
A far cry from its pure performance oriented models currently found in Lotus' model line-up, the Evora focuses on a much wider market with its 2+2 layout. Inside, the model is packed full of “lifestyle” features - such as leather seats, on-board tyre pressure monitor, air-conditioning, airbags, Alpine multi-media system and satellite navigation.
Toyota provide the power under the hood with it's mid-positioned 280PS all-alloy 2GR-FE 3.5-litre V6 engine. Bilstein/Eibach suspension, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, and a low dry weight of just 1350kg contribute towards some admirable performance figures. Acceleration from standstill to 60mph takes less than 5 seconds, the top speed lies at 160mph - and it still manages a fuel consumption figure that's respectable.
Full performance and specification figures are yet to be announced, but with another six months worth of testing and development required, everyone will have to be patient...
