So we've all seen this article about the 400 HP S variant. Say in 2011, 2012 -- it does sounds like Lotus are gonna do this one right rather than just slap on an SC and hope. Change the front end styling a little (rest of the car is very nicely understated) and I think Lotus would have a real winner here - (if they keep the price sane).

6.4 lbs/HP - Lambo 560-4
7.8 lbs/HP - S260
6.75 lbs/HP - Evora S (and I wouldn't be affraid to work on the Toyota)

Hoping this becomes a reality, but Lambo have already up'd the game with the 570.

So what does TVS have to do with this - a big hint

big hint #2

Those are pretty good hints!

They'll most likely do whatever toyota does. It'd be sensible to start off with the TVS since thats the current gen.

another big hint

An Evora slide from Lotus' presentation at LOG 28.

Is that Phil's head?

Charlie, agree, don't think Lotus will be that much involved, just do what TRD/Toyota say and make sure it fits with adequate cooling.

Definitely brings the Evora more inline with a supercar but the "S" tag probably adds 20K to the price.

That was a great gaffe on their part.

Another small sign was when I spoke to a certain S/C company on the phone and they said they've been working non-stop on stuff for Lotus.

 

[robains]

I hope they keep it under $100K.

if someone wants to make some money they should be working on a TVS kit for the poor saps buying the NA evora *wink* *wink*
