Lotus Evora MY 2012

At the IAA in Frankfurt in September 2011 the new Evora for Model Year 2012 was introduced. There have been more than 130 improvements.

Although there is no list of these changes available, it is possible to give you a rough idea. Basically, Lotus wants to make a huge step forward as far as built quality is concerned, in order to meet the company's future standards. With the MY 2012 Evora Lotus wants to show the public which direction they are going.

One of the improved area's is the interior of the car. We will see a higher quality leather. And a major improvement (by personal experience) must be the smoother gear changing, due to new gear change cables and a new flywheel and clutch. There are some improvements to the suspension and very noticable will be the new valve in the exhaust, opening to bypass the silencer at 4700 RPM (1,500 RPM in Sport mode). There will also be more options available.
