Last week, we reported that Lotus is set to introduce an all-new vehicle on the market. What used to be known as Project Eagle will finally be called Evora. The company just released additional pictures to keep building hype around this 2+2 coupe.
The Evora uses a mid-mounted 3.5L V6 producing 280 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 252 lbs-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm through a 6-speed manual transmission. Both the engine and gearbox come from Toyota.
In typical Lotus fashion, the new Evora is based on a rigid yet ultra-lightweight aluminum chassis. The braking system consists of 350-mm ventilated discs with 4-piston callipers up front and 332-mm discs in the back. Putting the car in contact with the pavement are 225/40ZR18 front and 255/35ZR19 rear tires.
According to Lotus, the Evora will appeal to performance-minded drivers, just like the Elise and Exige, while also satisfying those after comfort and luxury. Extra efforts were made during the development process to make the Evora pleasant in daily use. Drivers measuring up to 6 feet 7 inches can easily take place behind the wheel. As for cargo, the trunk is large enough to accommodate a golf bag.
Inside, expect such premium features as a touch-screen navigation system, a rearview camera, leather seats (available in many different colors) and much more.
