Lotus Evora Show Car Technical Specifications at British International Motor Show 2008
July 26, 2008 – 12:09 pm by GaryCooL
The fabulously light and playful Elise Roadster and Exige S Coupe, the Evora is a 2+2 Coupe, a more livable all-rounder that’s ideal for sporting moms and dads with small children, and less expensive to insure in some areas. And if you don’t need the extra seats, a two-seat configuration can be had with a luggage shelf instead, although Lotus says the trunk has space enough for a golf bag, either way.
