2010 Lotus Evora Official US Specs Leaked

Back in March, we provided information concerning the European delivery of the Lotus Evora. However, since then there hasn't been any information on a stateside release and big question marks remain. Now, thanks to the folks at Lotusenthusiast.net, we finally have the official US specs and they are impressive. The car will sport a Toyota-produced 3.5L V6 engine capable of 276 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. This by itself is not so overwhelming, but when you factor in the weight of the car (3,047 pounds) the car sprints 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. It also tops out at 162 mph and get 32.5 mpg.

The 2010 Lotus Evora will ride on either standard cast wheels or optional forged wheels in size 18" x 8" in front and 19" x 9.5" in rear wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires. Braking will come from ventilated front and rear discs with cross-drilled rotors optional. In any case, the Lotus will drop from 60 mph to 0 in 110.2 feet, which is pretty phenomenol. An aero package will also be available which includes a front splitter, flat underbody, rear diffuser and floating rear wing.
