KUALA LUMPUR: Lotus Malaysia officially announced recently the availability of the much-anticipated all-new Lotus Evora sports car for the Malaysian market.
SPORTY LOOK: Lotus Evora is powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-litre VVT-i V6 engine and fitted with a 6-speed manual transmission.
“The Evora represents one of the biggest milestones for Lotus since the birth of the popular Elise in 1995 and seamlessly brings together years of engineering heritage with new and advanced technologies aimed at propelling Lotus into a new dimension globally,” said Proton Holdings Berhad chairman Dato Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.
Keeping to the true Lotus philosophy of performance through light weight, the Evora was built to project velocity, agility and sophistication.
The car is the result of a bold five-year plan that began in 2006 in which Lotus had underlined a three-platform portfolio for its range of sports cars which also includes the Europa and Exige.
Now, the Evora is set to introduce the Lotus driving and ownership experience to a much wider audience by offering a far more matured and well-rounded sports-car package that retains the world-renowned Lotus DNA.
The sports car is powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-litre VVT-i V6 engine and fitted with a 6-speed manual transmission.
It has a maximum power of 276bhp and a maximum torque of 342Nm capable of hitting 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 261km/h.
The 2+2 seater Evora is available in four variants, namely Sports Spec (RM443,480), Tech Spec (RM463,650), Sports & Tech Spec (RM472,110) and Launch Spec Edition (RM490,210).
