Reservations being taken for the 2010 Lotus Evora!

We are currently accepting orders for February 2010 delivery, please contact us to pick particular colors and place your order. We also have 4 Launch Edition vehicles due into us that are available for you to purchase.

The Lotus Evora is the world’s only production mid-engined 2+2 sports car.

The new car will be offered alongside the iconic and popular Elise and Exige models. The Lotus Evora is designed for people who desire the exotic sports car characteristics of stunning design, exclusivity, dramatic proportions and performance. Powered by a 3.5-litre V-6 producing 276 hp at 6,400 rpm and 252 lb.ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm and in keeping with the great Lotus Tradition, the Evora employs innovative lightweight chassis technology to ensure all-around exceptional dynamic performance.

Not only is straight-line performance spectacular, with the 0 – 60 mph sprint taking approximately 5 seconds with a top speed of over 160 mph but so to are class leading fuel economy (est. 27 mpg) and emissions figures.

In addition to its excellent performance and exemplary handling, the Evora offers a more refined ownership experience than Lotus’s existing smaller four-cylinder models. Evora’s cabin is elegantly trimmed and its equipment list includes such high-tech features as an advanced touch-screen multi-media system incorporating a state-of-the-art Alpine satellite navigation and audio system. Because one of the roles of the Evora is to attract new customers to the Lotus brand, much attention has been paid to its ease of use. Wider, taller door apertures and narrower sills make getting in and out of the cabin a less athletic undertaking than it is in Lotus’s smaller sports cars, while the design of the cabin itself will easily accommodate two 6ft 5in tall people in the front seats. Styled in-house by Lotus Design, the Evora’s sophisticated and attention-grabbing lines brilliantly 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. Along with being sold in a 2+2 configuration, the Evora will also be available as a two-seater (2+0), the space in the rear being allocated to luggage storage.

The first 150 USA Launch Edition Evoras will carry the following factory options: Premium Package, Technology Package, Sport Package, Close Ratio 6 Speed "Sport" Gearbox, Reversing Camera.

The Lotus Evora will be offered with a 3-year/36,000 miles whole vehicle warranty with an 8-year chassis perforation warranty. http://www.lotuscars.com/evora/

New Lotus Racing Efforts!

Along with its announced plans for Formula One next season, British sports car maker Lotus is also looking at expanding its racing efforts to include IndyCar, GT and Le Mans racing. Newly appointed company CEO Dany Bahar made the announcement to employees, stating that Lotus is studying expanding its racing efforts under a new corporate outlook.Bahar, who comes from working for Red Bull's Formula 1 team and as the former head of marketing for Ferrari has ambitious plans to return Lotus to its former position as a motorsports leader, using motorsports as a way to brand the company's road cars, while using technology gained from racing efforts to help improve those very cars and develop new ones.Lotus has made known plans to field a two car Evora team at next years Nürburgring 24 Hour race but now it appears as though as more long term plan may be coming into place.No official decision has been made but we expect to see Lotus cars racing in the European and American Le Mans series in the near future.

Performance Car of the Year Award for 2009 - Lotus Evora!

The Lotus Evora beat strong competition from 29 other cars to win the title of Performance Car of the Year 2009.

The prominent competition included cars from some of the greatest Marques in the world such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche and Aston Martin. The 2009 Performance Car of the Year comprised 30 cars, and included exhaustive subjective and objective testing. The feature incorporated testing on some of the greatest driving roads in Britain, with objective testing at the Rockingham Motor Speedway, where Darren Turner, a Le Mans winning racer, put the cars through their paces. Chris Chilton, Assistant Editor at Car Magazine was so taken with the Lotus Evora during the first drive activity in Scotland that he said he would eat his Apple Mac if the Evora didn't win this year’s Performance Car of the Year. In saving his Apple Mac, Chris commented, "There are executive saloons that don't ride this well, supercars that don't turn in so crisply, and surely no car on the planet steers like this". To further safeguard his constitution, Chris added, "Lotus has managed to transfer everything that we love about the Elise to a bigger, more refined, more grown up platform...It couldn’t really be much better to drive - the Evora is nigh-on perfect. A winner on every conceivable level".

Roger Becker, Vehicle Engineering Director said that "It is very rewarding to win the well established Car Magazine, Performance Car of the Year award against such tough competition. I am personally very pleased that Chris Chilton so accurately informs on the character and performance that we set out to achieve in the Evora: They are all you would expect from a modern everyday Lotus. The Evora is a great ownership proposition, offering the great Lotus driving experience in a very comfortable, practical, refined and efficient package.” He added “It is a great validation of the expertise at Lotus to win this title against incredible competition from such a highly regarded publication and very pleasing to continue Lotus’ outstanding record in this competition".

Premier Lotus is proud to have Michael Manzi as a Certified Lotus Consultant. In his own words:

"I am proud to represent the Lotus brand. I developed an interest in sports cars and motor sports many years ago. After owning Triumph, MG and Alfa Romeo automobiles, I continued my interest in motor sports while attending many events at Lime Rock Park located in Sharon, Connecticut. The events included SCCA, Trans Am, IMSA and Vintage Fall Festival Races. I can recall Lotus competing in various classes with Elan, Super Seven, Europa and Espirit leading the way. Lotus has an outstanding history for producing some of the finest and most successful sports and racing cars in the world.

Combined with over 30 years experience in the automobile business, and the excitement and passion I have for performance cars, I look forward to bringing the Elise, Exige and Evora to an existing customer base and welcome the opportunity to create new Lotus owners."
