===Evora IPS=== [[image:Evora IPS Press Shot.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Evora IPS Press Shot]] Launched alongside the Evora S at the Paris Motor Show on September 30th 2010, the Evora IPS<ref>[http://www.lotuscars.com/en/evora-ips Lotus Cars - Current Range - Evora IPS]</ref> paired the normally aspirated [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Toyota 2GR-FE]] engine with the [[Gear_Ratios_-_Evora#Automatic_gearbox_information|Toyota U660E gearbox]]. The Toyota U660E gearbox is a traditional torque-converter automatic gearbox, and unlike the manual is only available with the standard Toyota specification [[Gear Ratios - Evora#Gear Ratios|gear ratios]]. This is paired with Lotus's own electronics to give the gearbox a more sporting feel. Inside the car sees the removal of the traditional gearstick, replaced with a panel for switching between Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Park, along with the Sport button. Paddles are fitted behind the steering wheel, with left paddle changing down and the right changing up. In the instrument binnacle the small LCD used to show the odometer is re-purposed to show the current gear selection and mode. In the footwell, as you'd expect, there are only two pedals.

It does not, however, increase the rev limit due to the limitations of most torque converter automatic gearboxes. {| border="1" |- |'''Layout''' || Transverse mid engined, rear wheel drive |- |'''Length''' || 4342 mm |- |'''Width''' || 1848 mm |- |'''Height''' || 1223mm |- |'''Engine fuel''' || Petrol |- |'''Engine configuration''' || V6 |- |'''Engine capacity''' || 3456 cc |- |'''Engine power''' || 276hp (280PS/206KW) at 6400 rpm |- |'''Engine torque''' || 258lb/ft (350Nm) at 4600 rpm |- |'''Engine rev limit''' || 6400rpm |- |'''0-60mph (0-100 km/h)''' || 5.3 seconds (5.5 seconds) |- |'''Top speed''' || 155mph (250kph) |- |'''CO<sub>2</sub>Emissions''' || 208g/km |- |'''Weight''' || 1436kg |- |'''Seats''' || 2 (with option of 2+2) |- |'''Transmission''' || 6 speed automatic |- |'''Drive''' || RWD |} {{clr}}
