Lotus Evora

Lotus has a long and successful history in motorsports, having won seven Formula 1 Constructor's World Championships between 1958 and 1994. The company also established a reputation for building small sports cars such as the Lotus Elan of the 1960s, the Lotus Excel of the 1970, and the Lotus Esprit of the 1980. With the demise of the British motor industry, Lotus has become a manufacturer of small, light weight, high performance sports cars, such as the Lotus Elise and the Lotus Exige, powered the 1.8-Liter 2ZZ-GE engine from the Toyota Celica GT-S.

2015 Lotus Elise Appears in Paris - With Live Pictures and Video


The new Lotus Elise jumps into entirely new styling territory, not so much evolving from the current model but fully reinventing itself as a baby Esprit. The only similarities are the mid-engine layout driving the rear wheels and 2-seats around corners.

Below, Lotus has been kind enough to provide a nicely-designed chart for your convenience instead of spreading all the car's stats across a 15,000-word press release.

The new baby Lotus will get a standard 6-speed manual (with an optional 7-speed DCT) and be powered by a Toyota 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine putting out 320-horsepower.

If the Elise is putting out that kind of go for a £35,000 [around US$55,500] base price, this is looking to be a bargain basement killer. To make that 320 ponies extra green, it will also offer mild hybrid tech and an optional start/stop system when it comes out in Spring 2015.
