Lotus reveals new photos of Evora ahead of June launch
December 31st, 1969
The wraps first came off the Lotus Evora 2+2 GT back in July 2008 but despite the car looking production-ready Lotus engineers had plenty of fine tuning to complete before the car could finally go on sale. Then, almost nine months later, Lotus finally confirmed the production specifications for the Evora and announced a launch date for this May. That date got bumped to June, but the car is finally on its way - for Europe at least.
To ramp up excitement for the launch, Lotus has released a new set of images of the Evora, revealing the interior and several new exterior shots. The Evora will go on sale in Europe this June as a 2010 model with a starting price of €50,412 for the basic two-seater model. Opt for the 2+2 seating configuration and buyers will have to pay an additional €3,000.
No word on a U.S. launch has been announced yet but already some big name celebrities, both here and abroad, have announced interest in it. On the list are Jay Leno, Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, London Mayor Boris Johnson, musician Jay Kay, Richard Hammond and James May, Beyoncé, Dave Grohl, George Clooney, Kevin Spacey and Patrick Dempsey - to name just a few.
To kick off the sales launch, Lotus will be releasing a special version built in a limited run of just 450 cars. Called the ‘Lotus Evora Launch Edition’, the special version will be available in either Ardent Red or British Racing Green, and come with 2+2 seating, silver cast alloy wheels, an Alpine stereo, bi-xenon headlights and a reversing camera as standard.
The final specs for the car include a 3.5L petrol V6 producing 276hp (206kW) and 252lb-ft (342Nm) of torque. Straight line performance is impressive, with the zero to 100 km/h sprint taking place in just over 5 seconds with a top speed of over 260km/h. Official fuel economy figures for Europe are 19mpg (12.4L/100km) in the city and 36mpg (6.5L/100km) on the highway.
Standard features include a six-speed manual transmission, optimal shift time indicator, Bilstein dampers, 18in wheels up front and 19in wheels in the rear, a Bosch electronic differential lock, twin airbags, four-piston AP racing brakes, 350mm ventilated discs, halogen headlights, Recaro leather seats, aluminum trim, and an Alpine stereo.
Optional goodies include a 7in touchscreen display with satellite navigation, Bluetooth and USB connection, rear parking sensors and a camera, a titanium sports exhaust tailpipe, an engine oil cooler, a sports diffuser and an engine pack with enhanced throttle response.2010 Lotus Evora

Love the look, hate the name.

How on gods green earth have they squeezed 2 rear seats, an engine(albeit transverse) AND a rear boot!! Shame about the name though.
This is the one that uses a specially tuned Camry engine. Why can't that specially tuned version be in my regular Camry?

he rear seats are pointless.
Just wait for the Supercharged and Cabrio versions,
They should of kept the original Development codename in my opinion -
Lotus Eagle sounds so much better than Evora

Because all the tuning was done in house at Lotus if I believe right.
Evora virus, cool cabin but pointless rear seats.
Wow...its a McLaran copy...
and this is supposed to be the spiritual successor to the Esprit...oh dear !
Top view look the best! Lousy name tho, if they name it Orange or Mangosteen or even Elvira. It will still sound better than Evora!
Great platform. Will allow Lotus to move towards "supercar" status. Look to see different variants in the next few yrs.
