Lotus Releases Full Evora Details Including Standard Equipment and Options : Auto News

Lotus has just released a long list of details on the upcoming Evora mid-engine 2+2 sportscar, with all the standard equipment and option packs available. This list is technically for Euro-spec models, however, the release clearly states, (and Lotus Cars USA PR Boss Kevin Smith confirmed) that the U.S.-spec model will be very close.

Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 276hp at 6400 rpm and 252 ft-lbs of torque at 4700 rpm, the Evora will hit 60 mph in just five seconds and go on to a top speed of 160 mph. Fuel economy is rated at 12.4 and 6.5 liters/100 km (city/highway) - which works out to 19/36 mpg. The combined rating is 8.7 liters/100 km or 27 mpg.

Standard equipment includes 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels with 225/40/18 and 255/35/19 tires. Cast wheels will be standard with forged models optional.

The brakes will be AP racing four-piston calipers with front 13.8-inch rotors and rear 13.1-inch rotors. ABS and electronic brake distribution will also be standard.

Interior standard equipment includes A/C, adjustable front Recaro black leather seats, a flat-bottom leather and magnesium steering wheel with tilt and telescopic functions; aluminum control knobs and switches; power windows; a leather shift knob and handbrake cover; a 12 volt interior socket and 12 volt trunk socket and a Lotus command center....

I'm kinda confused with their objective of this car?

Correct me if I'm wrong, it has a bigger engine than the Exige and Elise but it has a slower acceleration time? Although the top speed is definitely faster.

It looks like a more of a Daily Driver than the Exige?

I'm kinda confused here.

Your not confused, you just aswered your own questions.

The Evora is a slightly bigger and less hardcore car than the Exige.

Exige = Hardcore track/street car

Evora = DD sports car with V6 power.

Thanks Challenge It

guess I'm not confused after all...

HaHaHa

any mention of the price on this? i'm a big fan of lotus and could see myself in a murdered out evora

I have been waiting for this car for almost a year now and plan to continue to wait for it. Expected prices are supposed to be somewhere between 60-90k. It may not be the fastest car out there but I can almost guarantee i'll be the only one on the block with one

Looks awesome. I wish the front end had been more aggressive looking, like the Elise or Exige, but I love the styling otherwise!

Not feeling this car...

Ive been waiting to see how this project came out. Exterior wise im not feeling it. I wish they wouldve kept it similar to the exige/elise look. I love lotus and their concept but all of their cars are so damn cramped inside. For anyone over 5'10 pretty much. I was hoping this would be a roomier elise type build. Though it doesnt seem to have wound up that way. Specially since you can see the oversized doorsill frame crash protection whatevers like in the elise/exige. Oh well. Maybe someday.

This coming from a guy who's like 6' 5" I know what your saying though, I'm cramped in the Elise / Exige and I'm barely 6' tall. No way your getting in one of those Shane!!
