Lotus unveiled the Evora to an awaiting public at the British Motor Show today. The Lotus Evora, which was originally under the Project Eagle code name, is a 2+2 that will be powered by a Toyota-derived 3.5L V-6 producing 276 horsepower and 252 lb/ft of torque. The car will be the heaviest auto in the current Lotus line-up—weighing a little less than 3,000 lbs. However, don't be fooled into thinking the car is heavy; for most manufacturers the Evora would be their lightest car. The added weight is there for customer convenience. The Evora will have wider and taller door openings with a narrow sill to enable easier ingress and egress. The cabin itself is also bigger to help accommodate the large American male. Even with the added size and girth the Lotus Evora is capable of getting up to 60 mph from a standstill in under 5 seconds and will be able to reach somewhere near 160 mph. The Lotus Evora should be available in showrooms in spring of 2009. Look for more news as it becomes available. More pictures can be found here.
