Editing Models - Evora (section)

==Evora Models==

At present all models of the Lotus Evora share the same coupe body shape and are all powered by derivatives of the [[Toyota_engines#Evora_S.2FExige_S | 2GR-FE engine]].

Early cars, particularly the Launch Edition models, have been noted as having some interior build quality issues, but these have been steadily improved.

===Evora===

[[image:Evora-Press-Shot.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Lotus Evora Press Photograph]]
After its unveiling in July 2008, the first customer Evora was sold to Matthew Melling, a customer of Stratton Motor Company, in September 2009.<ref>[http://lotusenthusiast.net/2009/09/first-lotus-evora-delivered.html Lotus Enthusiast - First Lotus Evora delivered!]</ref>

The initial run of 450 cars delivered were all the [[#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]] models, which were produced to a fixed specification to ease the initial production process.

After this regular production began, with both the Evora 2+0 and 2+2 available with a range of [[Pricing and Upgrades (2011)#Vehicle_Options_4|option]] and [[Pricing and Upgrades (2011)#Vehicle_Options_3|upgrade packs]].

====Launch Edition====

The Evora Launch Edition made up the first 450 (200 destined for the UK) production Evoras. They were all built to the same specification, allowing Lotus to bring the production line up without having to worry about the various different permutations possible with customised cars.

All Launch Editions came equipped with 2+2 seating, Tech Pack, Premium Pack, Sport Pack, Hi-power silver cast alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Alpine Imprint Audio System, Reversing Camera, Electric Powerfold Mirrors and a numbered plaque. The Sport Ratio gearbox was not an option on Launch Edition cars, with the only options being the cars paint and possibly interior trim.<ref>[http://www.lotusdriversguide.com/Press/Evora_Range_Specification_and_Pricing.php Lotus Drivers Guide - The 2010 Model Year Lotus Evora Range Specification and Pricing]</ref>

The Evora Launch Edition was priced at £58,460, with [[Paint Colours - Evora#Metallic Colours|Metallic]], [[Paint Colours - Evora#Lifestyle Colours|Lifestyle]] and [[Paint Colours - Evora#Premium Colours|Premium]] paint colours as cost options.

====Naomi for Haiti====

[[Image:Evora Haiti.jpg|right|thumb|400px|The Lotus Evora Naomi for Haiti]]
Following the [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8455629.stm earthquake that struck Haiti] in 2010, Lotus donated eight special edition Evora's to be auctioned off at Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show, held at Somerset House on February 18th, during London Fashion Week.

The "Naomi for Haiti" cars were based off the standard Evora, and featured a unique livery designed by Lotus Design Director, Donato Coco, which "reflects Naomi’s
design direction.".

The cars raised over €1.4 million towards relief efforts<ref>[http://www.lotusdriversguide.com/Press/evora_naomi_for_haiti_GBP_1400000.php Lotus Drivers Guide - Lotus contribution to Fashion for Relief Haiti confirmed at €1.4m]</ref>, with the first 2 cars selling for over £300,000 each.

====Press reception====

The Evora launched to positive reception from the press, with 5-star reviews in Evo<ref>[http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/241450/lotus_evora.html evo Car Reviews - Lotus Evora]</ref> and Car<ref>[http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Drives/Search-Results/First-drives/Lotus-Evora-2009-the-new-CAR-review/ Car Magazine - Lotus Evora]</ref> magazines.

Reviews praised the Evora's ride and handling, but raised some concerns as to whether the build quality was up to the level of its rivals.
"It has proved to be a really usable GT car, yet it has also played the junior supercar role in a way I hadn’t expected. It still hasn’t got the feeling of solidity that Porsche imbues in its cars, but as a package the Evora has a lot of similarities with the multi-talented 911."

===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.

|-

Sport mode in the Evora IPS changes the way the gearbox reacts, both in terms of the chosen gear and the amount of time the car will remain in Manual mode after a paddle has been used. It does not, however, increase the rev limit due to the limitations of most torque converter automatic gearboxes.

===Evora S===

[[image:Evora S and IPS Launch.jpg|right|thumb|400px|The Evora S and IPS are launched at the Paris Motor Show 2010]]
Officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on September 30th 2010 alongside the Evora IPS. Its launch was somewhat overshadowed, however, as Lotus chose the same event to unveil this 'New Era' range of concept cars, prompting concerns that the Evora would quickly be replaced by the new Elan. These concerns were later allayed with the Elan later scheduled for 2017 and Lotus committing to continuing the evolution of the Evora range.

The most obvious enhancement from the base Evora is the addition of an [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Eaton Roots-type Twin-Vortices supercharger]] helping the Evora S produce 345bhp, but the Evora S also receives the Sport Pack, cross drilled brakes and Stealth Grey Classic Wheels as standard, along with revisions made to areas such as the gear shift linkage.

====Evora S Gumball====

[[image:Evora S Gumball.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Evora S Gumball on the 2011 Gumball Rally 3000]] A one off car created by Lotus for the 2011 Gumball Rally 3000 and driven by Tamer Hassan.

Based on the standard Evora S, the Gumball car was enhanced with a range of cosmetic and mechanical changes borrowed from the Evora GT4 race car. These included the full GT4 aero package of front and rear bumpers, front diffuser, rear splitter and wing, air intake, barge board and grills, along with the GT4 exhaust, wheels, 4-way adjustable Ohlin dampers, stiffer Eibach Race springs and a 30mm lower ride height - although road tyres were retained to keep the car road legal.

With these changes the Evora S Gumball 3000 was quoted to be producing 400ps.

====Freddie Mercury Evora S====

[[image:FreddieMercuryEvoraSInterior.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Freddie Mercury Evora S Concept Art from the September 1st press release]]
The Freddie Mercury Evora S was first announced by Lotus Cars in a press release<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/09/lotus-cars-another-lotus-bites-the-dust/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – Another Lotus Bites the Dust...]</ref> on September 1st, 2011 as a limited edition of just 1 car. 

The car was offered up for sale as an auction item for the Mercury Phoenix Trust, an HIV and AIDs charity fund, and sold on September 5th - which would have been Freddie Mercury's 65th birthday - to Chris Evans<ref>[http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2034798/Why-I-started-playing-bumper-cars-head-Do-I-need-someone.html Mail Online - Why have I started playing bumper cars with my head? Do I need to see someone?]</ref> for £100,000. Evans visited Hethel later in September<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/09/lotus-cars-chris-evans-signs-off-%E2%80%98freddie%E2%80%99-evora/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – Chris Evans signs-off ‘Freddie’ Evora]</ref> to tour the factory, try some laps of the Hethel test track, and sign off his cars specification.

The final specification of the car was as follows: Evora S (MY12), 2+0 seating configuration, Pearl White with unique Red and Bronze stripes, Premium Pack Suedetex (custom colour scheme), Tech Pack, Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels, Reversing Camera, Powerfold Mirrors, Lotus Evora Freddie Mercury "65" Build Plate.

Unlike the concept renderings the car was specified with black suedetex fronts to the seats (although retained the concept renderings yellow rear panel), while the dash received a yellow suedetex covering.

Since taking delivery of the car Evans has since twice placed the car for sale, as apparently he didn't have room for the car amongst his collection<ref>[http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2111686/Queen-fanatic-Chris-Evans-forced-sell-Freddie-Mercury-inspired-Lotus-Ferraris-garage.html Mail Online - Queen fanatic Chris Evans forced to sell Freddie Mercury-inspired Lotus because his garage is full of Ferraris]</ref>
. It was first offered for sale in February 2012, unregistered and with delivery mileage, at Ferrari and Maserati dealership Meridien Modena<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/02/freddie-mercury-evora-up-for-sale/ SELOC - Freddie Mercury Evora up for sale]</ref> - advertising the car at £76,000 - and then once again in November 2012, registered on a 12-plate with 2156 miles and an asking price of £57,995 at Lotus dealers Bell & Colvill<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/11/freddie-mercury-edition-evora-s-up-for-sale-again/ SELOC - Freddie Mercury Edition Evora S up for sale again]</ref>, with the price later dropping.

In June 2013 the car was sold to SELOC member 'missis sumner'<ref>[[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=366902 | SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Meet Freddie!]]</ref>.

Another one-off car built and auctioned off for charity, The Who Evora S was designed in conjunction with The Who front-man Roger Daltrey CBE<ref>[http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/roger-daltrey-lotus-evora-the-who-auction-2011-11-28 Top Gear - Lotus styled by Roger Daltrey for sale]</ref> and was sold by Bonhams to raise money for the [http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/who-we-are/media-centre/press-releases/roger-daltrey-lotus-evora-auctioned-for-teenage-ca/ Teenage Cancer Trust].

The car was built to MY12 specification and features a full compliment of option packs, with the IPS gearbox, 2+2 seating, Tech Pack, Premium Sports Pack, power-fold mirrors, reversing camera and heated seats all included. The exterior was finished in Starlight Black, with unique detailing including pin-striping of the sills, The Who roundels ahead of the doors, a Union Jack decal on the rear wing and Roger Daltrey's signature by the rear windows. The interior was similarly unique, with a red dashboard and black leather and alcantara trimmed seats with red contrast sticking and The Who roundels embroidered into the headrests. 

It was hoped that the car, which would have had a list price of over £73,000, would raise in excess of £80,000<ref>[http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/who-we-are/media-centre/press-releases/roger-daltrey-lotus-evora-auctioned-for-teenage-ca/ Teenage Cancer Trust - Roger Daltrey Lotus Evora auctioned for Teenage Cancer Trust]</ref>, however the final sale price came to just £56,000 including buyers premium<ref>[http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19293/lot/409/ Bonhams - Sold in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, The Who Evora designed by Roger Daltrey CBE 2012 Lotus Evora S 2+2 Coupé]</ref>.

The Evora Sports Racer can be ordered in either [[Models_-_Evora#Evora | normally aspirated]] (£57,900) or [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_S | supercharged]] (£65,900), and incorporates the black detailing previously available as bespoke orders on some customer cars, with a black roof, front splitter, rear diffuser, side sills, rear badging and door mirror pods.

All the option packs normally offered on the Evora are [[Pricing_and_Upgrades_(2013)#Standard_Specification | included as standard]], with only three option for buyers to choose from - two no cost options in the form of a limited selection of [[Paint_Colours_-_2012 | colours]] (Aspen White, Carbon Grey, Nightfall Blue or Ardent Red), either the Ebony Black or Venom Red [[Interior_-_Evora#Premium_Sport | Premium Sport Interior]] and 1 cost option, the [[2GR-FE_Gearboxes#Automatic_gearbox_information | IPS gearbox]].

===Evora GT350===

The Evora GT350 was a limited run of 6 RHD and 16 LHD Evoras, reworked by Lotus Motorsport in late 2014 and early 2015 from the Evora GTE cars which had been languishing unsold at the companies Hethel HQ since 2012. The reworking included new wishbones and wheels and a return to the standard Evora S drive-train, hence the change in name the GT350.

Of the 6 RHD cars, three were pre-sold to private individuals, whilst the remaining three were offered through the dealer network, with Bell & Colvill, Lotus Newcastle and Christopher Neil each receiving one.<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/6787802 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora GT350]</ref>

===Evora 400===

[[image:Evora-400-Launch.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Lotus Evora 400]]
Launched at the Geneva Motorshow in February 2015, the Evora 400 replaced both the Evora and Evora S as the then sole car in the Evora range. <ref>[https://www.seloc.org/2015/02/lotus-cars-the-all-new-lotus-evora-400/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – The all new Lotus Evora 400]</ref><br />
This model saw an extensive range of both mechanical and styling revisions to both reduce the weight and increase the power.

These changes include:<br />

===Evora Sport 410===

Based upon the Evora 400 released in 2015, the Evora Sport 410 also follows the same philosophy of reducing weight and increasing power, with a modest increase to 410bhp more than matched by a hefty 70kg weight saving compared to the already lighter Evora 400.

To achieve this the Evora Sport 410 takes a significantly more hardcore approach, stripping back the car to just a 2+0 seating arrangement and introducing the extensive use of carbon fibre as standard, with the front splitter, front access panel, roof panel, tailgate, rear diffuser and seats made from the light weight material.

===Evora GT430===

A further evolution of the Evora Sport 410, the Evora GT430 was limited to a run of just 60 cars and combined an increase in power to 430bhp with a baffled sump and titanium exhaust, extensive aerodynamic revisions, and Öhlin TTX adjustable suspension.<br /><br />

Carbon fibre features extensively, with the carbon front access panel, roof panel, rear quarter panels and louvered tailgate carried over from the Evora Sport 410. A large, high mounted, carbon fibre wing is new to this model.<br />
Additionally new carbon fibre front and rear bumpers, with carbon fibre front ducts featuring integrated air blades give a mildly facelifted appearance compared to the Evora Sport 410. <br />
Aerodynamics are enhanced by ducting to both front and rear wheel arches - with ducts in the arches over the front wheels and behind the rear wheels.<br /><br />

Lightweight 10 spoke forged wheels 19" 8J front and 20" 10.5J rear with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres front 245/35 R19, rear 295/30R20 are also fitted<br /><br />

Inside is trimmed in black Alcantara and perforated leather, with door trims carried across from the Evora Sport 410, as are the carbon sport seats - although a custom trimmed Sparco interior is also available. Other touches include Carbon fibre door sills and carbon fibre binnacle top, a GT430 build plate and 6 position variable traction control located on the switch panel.

- No rear wing or front splitter<br />
- No ducts in the arches over the front wheels<br />
- 10 spoke forged wheels 19" 8J front and 20" 9.5J rear with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres front 235/35 R19, rear 285/30 R20 (GT430 wheels an optional extra)<br />

===Evora GT410 Sport===

[[image:Evora-GT410-Sport.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Lotus Evora GT410 Sport]]
Based largely on the Evora Sport 410 it replaced, the Evora GT410 is revised with front and rear bumpers in the same style as the GT430 Sport, but made from GRP as opposed to carbon fibre, although the outer grille intakes in the front bumper, and rear wheel arch ducts in the rear bumper are finished in carbon fibre. The rear diffuser and grille is changed from the Sport 410, and there are options for either Evora 400 specification or Ohlins suspension.<br /><br />

Unlike the Evora Sport 410, the GT410 Sport is available as a 2+2 configuration, but these cars do without the lightweight wheels due to load restrictions (the potential maximum service weight of a 2+2 GT410 Sport fully laden could exceed the wheels maximum weight loads) so these cars are fitted with forged Evora 400 wheels.
