2010 Lotus Evora Launched In Australia

LOTUS AUSTRALIA recently took delivery of its first Evora sports cars; they'll be arriving in dealerships through January and February.

To celebrate their appearance on Australian tarmac, and to whet antipodean appetites, the company has put together a new Australia-specific photo collection.

The Evora is powered by a Toyota-sourced 3.5 litre V6 developing 206kW and 341Nm of torque, channelled through a six-speed manual transmission and rocketing to 100km in just over five seconds.

The Evora, which offers seating for either two or four occupants in a choice of two-seater or 2+2 formats, achieves a fuel economy of 8.7 l/100km on the combined highway/urban cycle, emitting just 205g/km CO2.

Inside, the Evora features leather trim and blue LED-lit instruments. Recaro front seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel and climate control are also included as part of the standard package.

To ensure your Evora is uniquely yours, Lotus offers a selection of 18-inch front and 19-inch rear cast and forged alloy wheels in silver, grey and gloss anthracite finishes.

Completing the look, buyers can also add bi-xenon headlamps, body coloured door handles and folding exterior mirrors.

The entry-level Lotus Evora 2+0 (which uses the rear space as luggage storage) will be priced at $149,990 (RRP before statutory and delivery charges), while the Lotus Evora 2+2 will be priced at $156,990 (RRP before statutory and delivery charges).

Well received in Europe for their slinky looks and superb handling, you can order yours now through the Lotus dealer network in Australia.
