Lotus is currently preparing for the launch of its refreshed Evora, expected to debut next month in the Geneva Motor Show.
Our latest spy photos show a heavily camouflaged Evora being in the final steps of development. The facelifted Evora is expected to feature minor styling changes in order to give the mid-engine Cayman rival a stronger, more athletic presence. The front and rear bumpers will receive most of these changes.
As for the interior, the dash layout is expected to remain as is, with the usual improvements to the build quality, materials and trim options to complete the aesthetic side of the refreshed model.
According to official sources, the most significant changes are happening under the skin. The Evora will gain 15 per cent more power and less weight in order to compete more effectively with the other sports cars of the market. The current model is powered by a Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre V6, producing 280hp in the base model and 350hp in the supercharged Evora S model.
Lotus wants desperately to improve its sales and so far the plan shows promising signs. The launch of the automatic Exige S in combination with a more characterful Evora in its line-up may bring the customer volume Hethel desires. And for those who want something even spicier, Lotus has promised a “surprise” reveal in Geneva as well, so stay tuned.
