Evora is a city in Portugal that no one knows about, but this Evora by Lotus is something you should acquaint yourself with. This striking two-plus-two GT is a welcome addition to the Lotus lineup. Measuring 22 inches longer than an Elise and three inches shorter than a 911, it’s the first practical Lotus since the gorgeous Elan Plus 2 debuted in 1967. Powered by the same Toyota 3.5 liter V-6 used in Camry?!? Via. GizmoAve.com
This 2.976 lbs futuristic looking car goes from 0 to 60mph in 4.9 seconds. Power is rated at 280 hp (thankfully 12 hp more than the mom-n-pop Camry). While the Evora is tagged as a two plus two, most probably because of the look, most buyers will go for the 2 seater with more space. The $70,000 Lotus Evora will be available in U.S. late next year (2009).
