Geneva LIVE: 2016 Lotus Evora 400 - LeftLane News
The Evora 400 is an evolution of the Evora coupe that was sold on these shores until recently. The coupe rides on 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch rear wheels. A comprehensively re-tuned aluminum chassis lies under the Evora 400's composite bodywork. The coupe weighs 3,119 pounds when equipped with a manual transmission, about 48 pounds less than the model it will replace. Inside, the Evora gains high-quality materials and more space thanks in part to narrower door panels. As its name implies, the Evora 400 is powered by a supercharged 3. 5-liter V6 engine that generates 400 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 302 lb-ft. Lotus says the Evora 400 is a full six seconds faster around its Hethel, England, test track than the model it replaces. The 2016 Lotus Evora 400 was designed with U. S. regulations in mind and it is expected to land on our shores in the coming months. Lotus predicts that demand for the new Evora will help it boost production from 45 to 70 cars a week by September of this year. Source: www.leftlanenews.com
