Lotus will hold the world premiere of the Evora GTE Road Car Concept at the McCall’s Motorworks Revival event tomorrow, August 17, at Pebble Beach.
The road-going concept is inspired by the Evora GTE racecar, which has been developed to participate in endurance races, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the newly formed GTE category.
The study is powered by the same 420HP V6 engine linked to a sequential AMT gearbox found in the Evora GTE racing model. While Lotus remains coy about a possible production version, we wouldn’t be surprised if the concept spawned a road going model in the very near future.
The Evora GTE study won’t be the only Lotus making its premiere at Pebble Beach. The Exige Matte Black Final Edition, which was created exclusively for the North American market to mark the end of the car’s availability in the States, will also go on display.
The name gives away its color, so no points for guessing. But you ‘ll be interested to know that this “farewell” edition has an uprated engine which produces 257HP, black alcantara sports seats and lots of standard equipment. Plus it will be manufactured in only 25 units, each with its own numbered plate.
