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.

    Lotus Model Collection

    I have a bit of a Lotus model and memorabilia collection that I inherited from my Father that really needs to be moved on. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience on the best way to deal with this?

    TRD Airbox for Elise

    Hi, Apologies if this has been answered recently - I've just joined and couldn't find anything in the search.   I've recently bought a 2018 Elise Sport 220 which I've been enjoying hugely. About the only thing I'd like to change is the sound, and I've read that a TRD airbox is a big improvement. The problem, of course, is I have also read they are no longer made and I can't find any in stock either. So does anyone have any suggestions: - where might I be able to find one?

    Evora 400 Audio Upgrade?

    Hi Guys It took me over a couple of hours to drive back from LiTP because of traffic etc. Its the first time I tried listening to the stereo and it was pretty dismal. I did some research and it turns out my car left the factory without the rear amp, subwoofer, cabling and brackets so I'm probably looking to install a mini amp, sub and upgrade the front speakers as apparently they are very poor. Just wondering if anyone else has done anything similar to their Evora and what they did. Wo
