Drive The Lotus Evora At The British International Motorshow

Drive the Lotus Evora at the British

International Motorshow in

association with Gran Turismo™ –

the real driving simulator on

PLAYSTATION®3

 

In a hi-tech twist to the unveiling, Lotus fans will find it easier

to test-drive the brand new Evora than ever before, thanks to

the car's inclusion in a special demo of Gran Turismo 5

Prologue™.

Lotus has a long-standing relationship with Polyphony, the game's developer

with Lotus cars appearing in each release of the Bafta award-winning Gran

Turismo series. Now, thanks to the new title's unprecedented realism

(enabled by the ultra-powerful PLAYSTATION®3 system), Gran Turismo

drivers will find their virtual ride in the new Lotus Evora to be startlingly similar

to the real thing giving Lotus fans a taster of what to expect before the Evora

is available to test-drive for real in Spring 2009.

Polyphony's digital model of the Lotus Evora was unveiled simultaneously with

the car at the British International Motorshow in London last week and fans

can try their hand at the game via a demo pod situated on the Lotus stand for

the duration of the show.

Mike Kimberley, Group Lotus CEO remarked, "We are delighted to join forces

with Sony Computer Entertainment and Polyphony once again on such a

special occasion for Lotus. The Launch of the Lotus Evora is a milestone for

us and represents a new and exciting phase of our development. I'd like to

thank the Gran Turismo team for organising this outstanding addition to our

exhibit at the British International Motorshow and hope guests enjoy the first

ride in our Evora, albeit a virtual one."

Guests to the Lotus stand at London's Excel exhibition centre will be able to

navigate an Evora on the new London city circuit which was recently

introduced to the GT series with the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The

London city circuit takes in some of the city's most popular landmarks

including Piccadilly Circus, Shaftesbury Avenue, Charing Cross, the National

Portrait Gallery and Trafalgar Square.

    What is the point of a Lotus these days?

    I have recently changed my Daily from a dirty diesel to an electric.  It struck me that the 0-60 times were almost identical, possibly quicker, to the Exige so my thought was, if comfortable family cars with suitcase room are now performing so well, are our cars becoming obsolete? Has the acceleration potential of EV’s made traditional sports cars meaningless? In an era where electric motor torque is rewriting the rules of straight‑line acceleration, it’s easy to forget what “fast” use

    LOTUS Action Camera Mod for rear view mirror

    Hi, my name is Marco and I'm from Liverpool, I'm new to this forum and new to Lotus. Towards the end of last year I started to get that itch of wanting a sporty fun car again (I had owned a couple of Mk4 Supras between 2000 & 2009) I was looking for a car that was not too big as it needed to fit into my narrow garage so I could hook it up to a trickle charger as it was not going to be a daily driver. I decided that an Elise would be perfect, after searching for months for the

    Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    Newbie question

    As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. A
