Efficient use of the minimum number of parts, a perfectly balanced chassis plus a tactile and involving spirit are recognisable in every driving icon to proudly carry the Lotus badge. 4 Since the day Colin Chapman built his first car in 1948 and established Lotus in 1952, the company has never ceased to innovate. This has earned Lotus a distinguished place in motorsport history. In Formula 1 alone, Lotus has more than 500 Grand Prix starts, complete with 81 victories and 7 World Championships. In addition, Lotus has successfully competed in Rally, Le Mans, Indy and sports car classes around the world. Colin Chapman applied pioneering, lightweight engineering to all of his road and race cars. His innovations changed the course of racing car design forever. From the introduction of the monocoque chassis, aerofoil wings, ‘gound effect’ and active suspension, through to today’s aluminium bonded chassis, Lotus has always pushed the boundaries of automotive design and engineering. A deeply ingrained passion for innovation remains at the core of everything Lotus does today. Below: Founder Colin Chapman.

All were shining examples of Colin Chapman’s ethos a passion for innovative, lightweight engineering best encapsulated by his famous quote from the launch of the Lotus Seven in 1957: “to increase performance, add lightness”. Chapman’s engineering ideals, more relevant today than ever, endure in the celebrated Lotus Evora. Launched to great acclaim in 1996, this mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, ultra light thoroughbred redefined the sports car once again. Its revolutionary bonded aluminium chassis delivered the ultimate driving sensation, providing exceptional feedback with thrilling acceleration, low CO2 emmisions and exceptionally low running costs for the high performance on offer. 22 years later, it remains unmatched for tactile agility and pure driving pleasure. Today, the Lotus Lightweight Laboratory maintains Colin Chapman’s legacy and ensures that his ethos is applied to every new model. After a complete strip down, every component is assessed and optimised through redesign, change of material, change of supplier or integration. If one part can be made to do the job of several, this is where it happens. Improvement is continuous. The quest to add lightness never ends. The result is the fastest, most capable road car range Lotus has ever built. 7 THE LOTUS EVORA PERFORMANCE THROUGH LIGHT WEIGHT T H E L O T U S E V O R A B U I LT I N P E R F O R M A N C E BUILT IN PERFORMANCE 8 The name Lotus is synonymous around the world with sublime handling and poised vehicle dynamics. Key to it all is that every Lotus is designed and engineered from scratch with singular focus - each one is purpose-built to be a sports car. patches optimally controlled in this way, the Evora can generate astonishing cornering forces from modest tyres. Very few car companies today offer such high quality suspension across the range. Then again, very few car companies focus exclusively on purpose-built sports cars. Any mass-produced saloon or hatchback can be made to go faster but it’s never the optimal starting point for a performance car. For that you need to start with an exceptionally strong, rigid, lightweight chassis designed by a company with seven decades of elite-level motorsport experience. Every Lotus, from the Elise Sprint 220 to the Evora GT430, benefits from a bespoke, motorsport tested, bonded aluminium chassis. The pioneering process of bonding aluminium extrusions remains state-of-the-art today and provides the perfect platform for some of the highest quality suspension components to be found on any road car. The other secret to Lotus’ renounded ride and handling mastery is the on-site test track. A luxury afforded to few other car makers, it allows Lotus to develop cars faster and more intensively. Every Lotus is painstakingly honed to extract every last drop of dynamic performance from each component – remaining true to Chapman’s principle of performance through lightweight. Each and every Lotus car features the optimal design of unequal length double wishbones for superior kinematics, absolute precision, intuitive response and maximum tyre grip.

It’s a car for serious drivers who enjoy race car responses but also want some refinement and practicality for the open road. Designed and engineered to ensure that the driver is fully immersed in a sensory experience, it’s capable of making even the most ordinary drive feel special. Expertise earned from seven decades in motorsport has been applied to develop a sports car with equal prowess on both road and track. In race form, the Evora GT4 was a proven winner, successfully competing in numerous endurance series, including the Le Mans 24-Hours, the American Le Mans Series and the MSA British Endurance Championship. Back on the road, the Evora rewards its driver with vivid communication, sublime handling, exquisite poise and real usability across all road surfaces and at all speeds. a process widely used in modern racing car construction. Its unique design delivers exceptional torsional rigidity - it takes 27,000 Nm to twist it just one degree. This strength allows Lotus engineers to fine tune the optimal double wishbone suspension for more compliance, increasing comfort without compromising the exceptional ride and handling dynamics. This chassis strength allows Lotus engineers to tune the motorsport derived double wishbone suspension for more compliance, increasing comfort without compromising the exceptional ride and handling dynamics. THE LOTUS EVORA INTRODUCTION The essence of the Evora is found in its exceptional engineering and focus on real-world performance. Production combines high technology processes with hand finishing techniques, from chassis construction through to final assembly. Teams of specialists oversee every process, ensuring that high quality engineering standards are met during every stage of the build. Completed cars undergo rigorous rolling road and water-ingress tests to ensure ultimate reliability and performance. The stateof-the-art chassis is unique to the Evora.
