Lotus Driving Academy Adds Evora 400 To New Driving Exp

• New Lotus Evora 400 now available to drive at Hethel test track
• New Elise and Exige models added to Lotus Driving Academy
fleet
• New Evora and Exige Experience packages launched

 

The Lotus Driving Academy is pleased to announce the addition of the new, critically acclaimed
Evora 400 to its fleet. What’s more, the entire fleet is renewed, with five Elise 220 Cup, two Exige
S and one Exige S Club Racer model joining the new Evora 400 and now available to drive on
the famed Hethel test track at Lotus’ Norfolk HQ.
Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus plc, commented: “We are pleased to
offer potential customers and track driving enthusiasts the opportunity to drive the new Lotus
Evora 400 and our other high-performance models at our Hethel test track. Lotus prides itself on
offering benchmark handling and pure driving experience and the Evora 400, developed at
Hethel, is the latest proof of this concept. To drive the Evora 400 at the very track used
throughout the model development process is a truly unique and privileged opportunity and we
are delighted to be able to offer this experience to the public.”
The Lotus Driving Academy rewards passionate car enthusiasts – including the Lotus driver of
today and tomorrow – with an unforgettable driving experience. Those attending one of the Elise,
Exige and now Evora Experience can explore the performance of Lotus’ very latest sports cars
on a purpose-built test track facility, under the guidance of world-class instructors who are skilled
at teaching drivers how to get the best out of the car and themselves.
To coincide with the launch of the new fleet, the Lotus Driving Academy also launches two brand
new driving experiences, the Exige Experience and Evora Experience. These will run alongside
the hugely successful Elise Experience that has been part of the Lotus Driving Academy’s
programme for several years.
The first ever Evora Experience will take place on 30 October for six lucky customers who will be
among the first members of the public to drive the Evora 400 on the famous Hethel test track.
The Evora Experience costs £349 and includes a vehicle dynamics briefing, two 20 minute track
driving sessions, a Lotus factory tour and a tour of the motorsport facility.
The Exige Experience costs £299 and includes a vehicle dynamics briefing, two 20 minute track
driving sessions, a Lotus factory tour and a tour of the motorsport facility.

  • 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.

    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
