Thread: Geneva 2010: Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid

The 80th Geneva Motor Show will show us the Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid concept developed by Lotus engineering. The British manufacturer unveiled a teaser today.

The sports car uses a plug-in series hybrid drive system with two electric motors driving each of the rear wheels independently via single speed geartrain, integrated into a common transmission housing. It enables torque vectoring for stability control of the vehicle. Electrical power is stored in a lithium polymer battery pack mounted in the centre of the vehicle for stability and safety. Additional range is provided by the Lotus Range Extender engine, an optimised 1.2 litre three-cylinder engine.
