The Evora GTE Road Concept was shown at the Pebble Beach Show in August 2011 along with the Exige Matt Black Edition as part of the yearly Concours D’Elegance event.<ref>[http://www.lotuscars.com/news/en/pebblebeach2011 Lotus Cars - News - Lotus Double Premiere at Pebble Beach Week 2011]</ref>

The Evora GTE Road Car Concept took inspiration, if not actual mechanicals, from the range of Evora race cars, while also building themes seen in previous [[Models - Evora#Concept Cars|Evora concept cars]] such as the [[Models - Evora#Evora Carbon Concept|Evora Carbon Concept]] and [[Models - Evora#Evora by Mansory|Evora by Mansory]].

The Evora GTE's lowered suspension and wider bodywork helped give it a more purposeful stance, while the front bumper — an evolution of those first seen on the [[Models - Evora#Evora by Mansory|Evora by Mansory]] - helped both add an element of air of aggression that many felt was missing from the Evora range and a visual link to the "New Era" range of cars shown by Lotus at Paris 2010.

The Mansory link was also evident in the small badge on the cars rear spoiler—the only aspect of the design to have seen much in the way of criticism.
