Lotus Evora – Testing and Development
It's a global car, so the Evora has been tested around the world. From the icy
wastes of the Arctic to the heat of the Australian desert, the high altitude of the
Alps as well as the country roads around the Hethel factory.
A cross functional team comprising of design, CAE and test and development
engineers have been able to develop the Evora into a class leading vehicle in
an exceptionally short space of time. It has spent hours howling around the
Nürburgring and endlessly lapped Lotus's test track at Hethel. By the time the
Evora entered production at the start of 2009, prototypes had travelled for
hundreds of thousands of miles along some of the worst public roads in the
world and been tortured for as many miles on some of the toughest proving
grounds the motor industry has to offer, including extreme pavé tests.
It has been flung into barriers at low and high speeds, at a multitude of angles,
it has even had its roof and doors compressed! By the time the Evora reaches
the showrooms, it will be the most thoroughly tested Lotus car in the history of
Lotus. It will also be one of the company's great milestones.
