Ahead of the official unveil at the Paris Motor Show on 30 September, Lotus announce the latest evolution of the award winning Evora – the Evora S and Evora IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) option.
Lotus has taken the award winning Evora and re-created it with a 350 PS 3.5l V6 engine to create the Evora S. Apart from the obvious power difference, the latest Evora is deemed the next level of experience which communicates better, responds even more to direction and incorporates a fine-tuned suspension setting and control for added power.
The Evora S comes with a sport pack as standard featuring a ‘sport’ button which allows the driver to control throttle response and activate the exhaust by-pass valve. The sport button also raises the instantaneous rev limit and changes the dynamic stability control settings resulting in a total experience change. There are cross-drilled brakes for improved cooling.
Its exterior aesthetics present an emotion that has been improved with a completely new active exhaust which means that at the push of a button the car sounds just as dramatic as it feels.
In addition to the Evora S, Lotus also presents the IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) option. This inception of the Evora sees an automatic 6-speed gearbox with Lotus developed transmission control with a 3.5 l V6 engine delivering 280 PS assuring a superior automatic driving experience.
The IPS version of the Evora allows the driver to switch between manual paddle shift and automatic drive modes. The driver also has the option of selecting ‘sport’ mode which showcases the Lotus sport driving experience allowing the driver to really feel each gear shift and be in complete control of the transmission.
Lotus reckons that the Evora IPS is set to broaden the appeal of the variant and reach out to slightly different markets, particularly Asia, the Middle East and the US. Also, the IPS version marks a breakthrough for Lotus since their last automatic transmission variant some decades ago.
