Welcome Back: 2009 Lotus Evora

Just like what Jeremy Clarkson did on Top Gear


Lotus Dress Shop returned on Forza Motorsport 4. If you said "Lotus Dress Shop", blame it on Clarkson for calling it for the Lotus Evora. With no major changes occurred, I often used the Lotus Evora with multiple strategies in mind. Let's put it with this; if the Evora comes with the 6-speed manual transmission, I'll just put it on "MANUAL W/CLUTCH" but I need to be alert while shifting gears because pressing the Clutch is required before switching gears, otherwise, I might damage the transmission. When I'm thinking about the Lotus Evora S (the supercharged Evora), I should just fit a supercharger on the Evora's V6 engine so it can act like the Evora S. What about the Evora IPS? By my research, the IPS is the Evora that comes with a 6-speed automatic + manual mode. Play the Evora on AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION and it should be enough but for something, I'll play the Evora on MANUAL TRANSMISSION. The Lotus Evora is built for strategy from the driver in mind and this applies the same thing on Forza Motorsport 4.

Guess I should drive the Lotus Evora at the Top Gear Test Track anyway...

Lotus Evora




The question for sports car enthusiasts is, is this a next-generation Lotus Elise? Or is that the return of the Lotus Esprit? There is one big answer to these two questions: a plain solid NO. The truth is, this is neither an Elise nor the Esprit (which is gone a few years ago). This is the new age Lotus sports car named Evora. The Evora name remains the Lotus legacy of having their car names start with the letter E such as the Elise and the Europa and its Lotus' newest kind of sports car to bat out the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in the face of the diminishing sports car industry today.
How well do you know the Lotus Evora? Here’s a quick glimpse of this new age sports car;

1) Hydraulic-assisted power steering for some full cornering at all places, including city roads.

2) Interior features such as a flat-bottomed steering wheel, Air Conditioner, and a choice of an ALPINE sound system or an optional navigation system to reach the places of your choice.

3) Adjustable Recaro sports seats (optional for the 2+2seater variant.)

4) Modular lightweight bonded aluminium structure

5) Suspension system thanks to Bilstein

6) Powered with Toyota’s 2GR-FE 3.5-litre engine (found on the Toyota Alphard and the Lexus RX350) which has the maximum output of over 280PS at the fuel economy of 13.8km/L thanks to its fuel and CO2 emissions.

7) Superior braking system.

NEED TO SAY IT?
If you have no idea what this sports car was, well think twice before you encounter this new kind of sports car from the British sports car manufacturer. It might be new to the weakened market today but it sure packs a huge blast among sports car enthusiasts from all over the world. Aside from its good looks, enhanced suspension, good braking, and the performance you can almost had it with your old sports car.
