Lotus reveals the Evora
Lotus' "Project Eagle" finally unveiled at the British Motor Show - it's officially called the Evora
Finally dropping the development name "Project Eagle", Lotus revealed its first all new car in over 13 years, the Evora. Proclaimed as the first mid-engined 2+2 in production, the Evora potentially gives Lotus access to a much wider range of clientele.
Lotus has packed the Evora with amenities and creature comforts such as leather seats, on-board tyre pressure monitor, air-conditioning, airbags, Alpine multi-media system, satellite navigation, Bluetooth hands-free telephone, iPod connectivity functions and a reverse camera.
All of this points to the Evora being more of a "lifestyle" vehicle instead of the race-inspired purist car Lotus is synonymous with. However, Lotus promises once you’re seated behind its flat-bottomed steering wheel, it feels every bit as exotic and sporting as you would expect a Lotus to be.
Despite all of the extra stuff, Lotus has compensated with a light weight inner body structure which weighs just 200kg [I](prototype weight), [/I] helping to keep the weight of the whole car to just 1350 kg.
Goodies packed into the Evora includes Toyota’s all-alloy 2GR-FE 3.5-litre V6 engine, Bilstein/Eibach suspension and Lotus AP Racing 4 piston calipers with vented and cross-drilled disc brakes.
