The local pricing of the new Lotus Evora 2+2 and 2+0
have been announced.
The Evora will be the most significant Lotus car to be launched in the last decade and promises to
be one of the most exciting new Lotus cars of recent times, combining traditional Lotus ride and
handling attributes with a large, practical platform encompassing a whole new drivetrain.
The new car is a more holistic offering than the Elise, Exige and Europa models that have carried
the brand in recent years.
Lotus Cars Australia has secured a number of Evoras for Australia to satisfy local demand. The
initial global Evora production will consist of higher specification vehicles including the following
(although customer can also order vehicles to their own specification now, for later
delivery):
- * 2+2 seating configuration
- * Tech, Premium and Sport packs
- * Hi-power silver cast alloys
- * Bi-xenon headlamps
- * Alpine Imprint Audio System
- * Reversing camera
- * Electric powerfold mirrors
These initial ‘Launch Edition’ vehicles include either Ardent Red or British Racing Green as
standard, and all other colours from the Lotus range are available as an extra cost option.
The three option packs (standard on the Launch Edition) will be available as a cost option once
the initial run of higher specification ‘Launch Edition’ vehicles is completed. The Tech, Sport
and Premium packs add items such as a touch-screen display, iPod connection, cruise control, parking
sensors, accent lighting, full leather trimming in selected colour, traction control, sports
diffuser and switchable sports mode.
A sports ratio six-speed transmission is also available to experience the maximum performance
offered by the V6 engine, combining a closer stack of ratios for improved acceleration and greater
in-gear response.
Lotus Evora is designed for people who desire exotic sports car characteristics of stunning
design, exclusivity and performance, being powered by a 3.5-litre V6 producing 206 kW and 342 Nm and
using innovative light weight chassis technology.
Performance is spectacular with 0-100 km/h in just over five seconds, combined with low emissions
and fuel consumption of 205 g/km and 8.7 l/100 km (combined highway/urban cycle).

Inside, the Lotus Evora cocoons occupants with sumptuous leather surfaces juxtaposed with
contemporary high-tech features. With driver focussed instrumentation the occupants sit in
cockpit-esque surroundings with flush-mounted controls that glow with blue LED haloes and
stylised gauges.
Styled in-house by Lotus Design, the Evora’s sophisticated and attention-snaring lines
disguise its ability to accommodate passengers in the rear of the cabin, giving the car the
external characteristics of a small, nimble sports car belying its real exterior and internal
space.
As well as being sold in a 2+2 configuration, the car will also be available as a two
seater, the space in the rear being allocated to luggage storage. An automatic transmission
version is in the future planning stage.
The entry level Lotus Evora 2+0 will be priced at $149,990 (recommended price before
statutory and delivery charges), with the Lotus Evora 2+2 being priced at $156,990
(recommended price before statutory and delivery charges). The 2+2 adds the convenience and
practicality of rear seats in addition to a host of luxury appointments both standard and
optional including Alpine audio system, reversing camera and cruise control.
For peace of mind, the Lotus Evora has a three-year 100,000 km whole vehicle warranty.
While the first customer deliveries are currently taking place in Europe, Australians will
get the chance to experience the V6 Evora for themselves for the first time in the third
quarter of 2009. Both the initial higher specification vehicles and customer specified
vehicles can be ordered now.
