The Evora is the first product of a five year plan started in 2006 to expand the Lotus line of cars.[2] As such it is a larger car than recent Lotus models Elise and its derivatives (Exige, Europa S, etc.), with an estimated curb weight of 1,350 kg (3,000 lb).[1] It is currently the only Lotus model with a 2+2 configuration, although it has been announced that it will also be offered in a two-seater configuration, referred to as the "Plus Zero" option.[1] It is also the only 2+2 mid engined coupé on sale. The interior is larger to allow taller persons to fit, such as Lotus CEO Mike Kimberley,[1] and two 99th percentile (6'5") American males.[8] The cooled[9] boot behind the engine is large enough to fit a set of golf clubs, although Lotus Design Head Russell Carr denies that this was intentional.[1] Lotus intends the Evora to compete with different market sectors including the Porsche Cayman.[2] [edit] Name The name "Evora" keeps the Lotus tradition of beginning model names with an "E". The name is derived from the words evolution, vogue, and aura.[10] Other names considered were Eagle, Exira and Ethos; Exira was rejected as it was considered not good enough and the other two because it would be difficult for Lotus to claim them as a trademark.[2] [edit] Production Sales are expected to start in summer 2009.[11] The sales target is 2000 cars per year, with prices between £45,000 and just over £50,000.[1] It will arrive at American dealers beginning in January 2010.[12] [edit] Awards On 12 August 2009, British car magazine Autocar named the Evora as Britain's Best Driver's Car 2009. [13] [edit] Reviews The car was reviewed by presenter Jeremy Clarkson on the British automotive television show Top Gear. The review was positive overall. Clarkson considered the rear seats to have not enough legroom, the interior felt cheap and the satellite navigation was sub-optimal. On the upside he was very happy with the performance, handling and comfort. He was extremely impressed with the ride comfort, taking it off the track comfortably. The Evora also won EVO magazines 'Car of the Year 2009' and CAR magazines 'performance car of the Year 2009'.[citation needed] [edit] Performance Lotus Evora at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010 Problems listening to this file?

Category: Autos & Vehicles Tags: BBC Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson Lotus Evora Link to this comment: Share to: Highest Rated Comments starstarstar42 1 month ago 32 Is the Porshe the better all-around vehicle? Sure it is, BUT, consider that you can toss a rock on any street corner and hit a Porche. That famed engineering perfection has made them as common as cellphones. An Evora though, well, If IT comes around a corner, the kids will point unabashedly with large round eyes, the men will point with slack jaws and envy. And the women, ahhhh, but you know what they'll do, don't you? That is why I'd pick the Evora; that visceral reaction people have to it. starstarstar42 1 month ago 32 Gerberbaby922 3 weeks ago 16 A heavy, V6, 4 seat, comfortable Lotus?
