Evora Carbon Concept Makes

Motorshow Debut

The multi-award winning Lotus Evora provides the basis of

the stunning carbon design concept unveiled at the 80th

Geneva Motorshow. The car boasts a stylish carbon fibre,

leather and alcantara interior, aggressive carbon diffuser and

an evocative high tech composite body.

The Evora Carbon Concept car emphasises Lotus' motorsport pedigree,

utilising beautiful high quality materials with exposed carbon fibre and plush

alcantara. The striking white concept car is finished in an advanced water

based pearlesent paint that contrasts with the exquisitely finished weave on

the carbon fibre panels.

The head turning looks of the Evora Carbon Concept car provide a more

purposeful, planted stance with the car looking lower and more aggressive.

This styling direction is continued with a structural carbon fibre roof, Lotus

Motorsport influenced carbon diffuser and carbon splitter. The Evora Carbon

Concept car retains the same class leading handling and high tech aluminium

bonded and extruded chassis of the production car.

The contemporary interior of the Evora Carbon Concept car combines the

lustre of the carbon panels with perforated leather and matt alcantara. The

bespoke interior uses swathes of sumptuous grey alcantara to cover the

footwell, dashboard and roof. The soft texture of the leather and alcantara are

juxtaposed with the hard surfaces of the carbon fibre to provide a satisfying

sensory experience.

The Evora Carbon Concept car has diamond cut forged 19" alloy wheels front

and rear, shod with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres (235/35 wide front and 285/30

wide rear). The wheels and tyres give the Evora real presence filling the

wheel arches and giving the car a purposeful appearance.

Donato Coco, Director of Lotus Design commented, "The design of the Evora

Carbon Concept car features exotic, high tech materials that offer a good

synergy with the Lotus brand image, expressing our motorsport heritage and

history of stylish sports cars for which Lotus are renowned."
