Efficient use of the minimum number of parts, a perfectly balanced chassis and a tactile and involving spirit are recognisable in every car to carry the Lotus badge. 7 6 79 9 1 1 FIA Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championships FIA Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championships FIA Formula 1 Grand Prix Wins Le Mans Wins (in Class) Indianapolis 500 Win FIA World Rally Championship “If you’re not winning, you’re not trying.” 4 / A UNIQUE PLACE IN HISTORY / Lotus Evora Lotus Brand Showreel Above: Founder Colin Chapman. Left: 1970, the British Grand Prix was won by Rindt’s Lotus 72. Right: 1972, Fittipaldi in the iconic black and gold livery debriefs Chapman. In 1948 Colin Chapman built his first car, following his own theories for improved performance. He formed Lotus in 1952 and from then on the company has never ceased to innovate. In competition, Lotus has a rich history. In Formula 1 alone Lotus has more than 475 Grand Prix starts, complete with 79 victories and 7 World Championships. In addition to the accolades gained in F1, Lotus has successfully competed in Rally, Le Mans, Indy and saloon car classes around the world. Chapman was a pioneer in creating lightweight cars, his innovations changed the face of racing car design forever. From the introduction of ‘ground effect’, aerofoil wings, monocoque chassis and active-ride suspension through to the aluminium bonded chassis of the modern line up, Lotus have never stopped inventing and the passion for innovation remains at the core of everything they do today.

Colin Chapman inspired Lotus’ racing success and applied his engineering genius to make Lotus cars technically innovative and ultimately faster than the competition. As ambitious now as in the past, this dedication to motorsport continues with Lotus gearing up in competitions around the world. In Formula 1, Indycar and numerous GT series’, Lotus is up to speed; from Indianapolis to Le Mans to Monaco, Lotus is making an impression in the world’s most famous events on the most demanding circuits. These high-profile international events are complimented by dedicated Lotus one-make race series for the Evora and Elise. 6 / BACK ON TRACK / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora / BACK ON TRACK / 7 FUN FOR SERIOUS DRIVERS EVORA Like all Lotus’ before it, the Evora is a sports car that benefits from a unique approach to driving dynamics. EVORA The Evora is a car for serious drivers who enjoy the combination of performance and the open road. Its design and engineering technology ensure that the driver is fully immersed in a sensory experience, where exactly the right feedback is transmitted from the road to make even the most ordinary drive feel special. E GTE EVORA EVORA EVORA ROAD Lotus’ engineering and racing expertise has ensured the development of a sports car that lends itself to excellence on both road and track, as witnessed through its evolution. In race form, the Evora GT4 encapsulates all of Lotus’ core values and technical expertise, it’s a proven winner. And its long-distance derivative, the Evora GTE race car, has shown its pace in the 2011 Le Mans 24-Hours, providing the inspiration for its road going sibling. Presenting Lotus’ most powerful production car ever, the Evora GTE road car. For handling, performance, exquisite poise and usability, the Lotus Evora delivers in every aspect. 8 / FUN FOR SERIOUS DRIVERS / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora /FUN FOR SERIOUS DRIVERS / 9 PERFORMANCE FOUNDATIONS The essence of the Evora is found in its exceptional engineering and focus on performance. Production combines high technology processes with hand finishing techniques, from chassis construction through to final assembly. Teams of specialists oversee every process ensuring Lotus’ high-quality engineering standards are met during every stage of the build; with completed cars undergoing rigorous rolling road and water-ingress tests to ensure ultimate reliability and performance. 10 / PERFORMANCE FOUNDATIONS / Lotus Evora This chassis strength allows Lotus engineers to tune the motorsport derived wishbone suspension for more compliance, increasing comfort without compromising the exceptional ride and handling dynamics. The state-of-the-art Evora chassis is composed of an extruded and bonded aluminium structure, developed for its lightweight yet incredibly stiff design, with a central tub containing the driver’s cockpit and safety cell - a format closely reflecting the layout and construction of modern-day racing cars. Its unique design ensures a chassis so stiff that it takes 27,000 Nm to twist it just one degree. Lotus Evora / PERFORMANCE FOUNDATIONS / 11 EVOLVED ON TRACK With its state-of-the-art, lightweight chassis, the Evora’s handling is truly remarkable. From its functional aerodynamics, to its mid-engined construction giving optimum weight distribution, through to its race-derived components, such as Bilstein dampers, Eibach springs and AP Racing track tuned braking system - Lotus’ motorsport expertise feature in its design and engineering. Whether it’s an occasional track day or a full-on assault in endurance racing with a GT4, the Evora’s track evolved origins are plain to see, with its dynamic capabilities honed on the famous Hethel test track. Focussed driving is effortless with the sticky Pirelli tyres providing amazing grip, tucking the nose into apexes with precision and poise. As the twisting tarmac disappears beneath you, this Lotus sports car makes light work of the road ahead. 12 / EVOLVED ON TRACK / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora / EVOLVED ON TRACK / 13 EXCITING ON THE ROAD Whatever the circumstances - graceful curve, hairpin or sweeping straight, the Evora rises to all occasions. A low-drag, elegant fastback design combine with fluid lines, a swept-forward cabin and aggressive poise, giving subtle cues to its sporting attitude. With perfectly weighted power-assisted steering, it displays total fluency and agility on the road. And, like no other sports car in its class, it transmits that directly to the driver via extra sensory feedback. Its highly tuned suspension ensures it tracks accurately through corners, soaking up bumps and smoothing out changing surfaces along the way. Its cross-drilled and ventilated four-piston calliper disc brakes are unparalleled, effortlessly bringing the car to a standstill whenever called upon, without the slightest hesitation or fade. Increasing the Evora’s fabulous performance arsenal is the Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) traction and stability management system. It has three settings; suppressing oversteer and understeer when fully on, allowing a small degree of slip in ‘Sport’ to provide the driver greater engagement, and disengaging altogether in ‘off’ when you want to test your reflexes. Serious fun for serious drivers. 14 / EXCITING ON THE ROAD / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora / EXCITING ON THE ROAD / 15 INTELLIGENCE IN THE CITY Transitioning from open-road to urban jungle, the Evora is not fazed. Its compliant suspension makes light work of rough surfaces and bumps. With a commanding on-road presence, the Evora occupies the road with sporting appeal and a lack of fuss, providing an imposing yet unintimidating presence. On the urban grind there is plenty to entertain you including direct inputs for iPod®, iPhone® and MP3 devices plus a music and video App via the built-in SatNav system. Eco Drive allows you to evaluate performance, including acceleration and braking, as well as emissions. In fluctuating traffic conditions the ‘IPS’ (Intelligent Precision Shift) automatic version with paddle shift control provides a more relaxed driving mode thanks to its flowing power delivery and precise auto shifts. The standard 2+0 configuration offers more than enough storage for a healthy dose of retail therapy. Alternatively, select the optional 2+2 configuration to ensure that even a school run is an exciting drive. The Evora is a Lotus that can be enjoyed on any occasion, anytime, anywhere. 16 / INTELLIGENCE IN THE CITY / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora / INTELLIGENCE IN THE CITY / 17 AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART 18 / AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora / AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART / 19 THE LOTUS EVORA Potent performance and graceful design combine in the stunning Evora. Lotus engineers have married a 276 hp, 3.5 litre DOHC V6 VVT-i engine with a state-of-the-art, aluminium bonded chassis to provide the perfect blend of power and balanced handling. Its stunning performance is accessed via a 6 speed manual transmission with perfect sports ratios that are matched to the engine configuration and chassis dynamics. For added flexibility, select the optional IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) automatic transmission with paddle shift.

The optional 2+2 layout provides additional flexibility. The Evora is a Lotus designed to take you further, for longer, and in greater comfort than before. Lotus Evora / THE LOTUS EVORA / 21 THE LOTUS EVORA S The Evora S blends the sublime handling attributes of the Lotus Evora with the surging linear power of a supercharged V6 engine. Delivering even more attitude, the forced induction power plant delivers 345 hp and 295 lbft of torque. There’s no appreciable weight gain: at 1,437 kg the Evora S is still lightweight, muscling from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, powering to its 178 mph maximum. It’s a logical progression. Forced induction brings instantaneous power delivery. It drives with an awe-inspiring urgency and vigour yet the remarkable Lotus chassis takes power and control in its stride. Visual differences include an aggressive rear diffuser, black wing mirror caps and rear light surrounds, with a new active exhaust system providing a dramatic aural soundtrack. Above: Harrop HTV 1320 supercharger with Eaton TVSTM technology With the Sport Pack as standard, the Evora S changes personality again. Increase throttle response, raise the rev limit and alter the Lotus DPM settings at the touch of a button for a heightened dynamic experience. This is pure Evora performance at its finest.

Select ‘Drive’ mode for smooth and relaxed automatic shifting or for spirited driving engage the steering wheel mounted paddles for finger tip control. Rear Spoiler The integrated boot spoiler on the Evora not only has a functional purpose but adds to the inspired styling of the car. Exhaust A free flowing exhaust system features special bypass valve that opens at higher speeds to reduce the back pressure in the system, increasing the power output and producing a heightened exhaust note. With the Sport Pack fitted, the valves open with the press of the sport button. Dynamic Performance Management Lotus DPM (Dynamic Performance Management) adds to the Evora‘s safety features by offering extra stability when the high levels of grip are exceeded. A selectable Sport mode takes DPM one step further, allowing the driver to safely explore the limits even more. Bi-Xenon Headlamps and Rear Lights Distinctive headlamps incorporate Bi-Xenon lights as standard, offering exceptional night time illumination, while the rear LED brake cluster is instantly recognisable. Wheels and Tyres Choose from a range of specially selected lightweight alloy wheels to subtly enhance the way your car looks and drives in either 18”/19” or 19”/20” diameter. These are mated to sticky Pirelli P-Zero tyres that work in perfect harmony with the suspension and chassis. Steering Wheel Lotus Engineers pay attention to every detail. The ergonomically shaped steering wheel is made from lightweight magnesium, reducing the amount of inertia allowing you to quickly change direction with the least amount of effort. 24 /FEATURE FOCUS / Lotus Evora Lotus Evora /FEATURE FOCUS / 25 COCKPIT INTERIOR It’s better to travel than to arrive.
