Developed from the highly acclaimed Lotus Evora sports car, the Lotus Evora Cup GT4 race car has been engineered to give drivers a competitive racing package straight out of the box.

Cosworth, which is co-owned by Kevin Kalkhoven partner with Vasser in the IndyCar’s KV Racing team, are supplying a naturally aspirated V6 race engine and full electronics systems powering the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
