The 2010 Lotus Evora has made its stateside debut at the 2008 LA Auto Show. The Evora was built on Lotus’s new Versatile Vehicle Architecture from the
Lotus APX concept that allows the automaker to build cars with a gross vehicle weight approaching 4,200 lbs. The 2010 Lotus Evora weighs in at 2,976 lbs.

Lotus says one of Evora’s main roles is to attract new and taller customers. Well, somebody tell Lotus they came to the right country to sell their car. Lotus
said that it paid a lot of attention to a wider, taller door apertures and narrower sills that make getting in and out easy.

Getting in and out of an Evora might be easy but getting near an Evora may be tough since Lotus will only make 2,000 units annually. Production of the
Evora kicks off in the first-quarter of 2009 with U.S. deliveries to begin in November or December of next year.

Well Lotus always has made some interesting cars.They never have figured
out how to make a car you can actually drive and enjoy.Quality control issues
are outrageous.This one looks cool though.Never liked the Elise much.
