Lotus Evora Carbon

So Lotus is coming up with variants of the Evora. We’ve already heard about the 414E Hybrid that Lotus is showcasing at the Geneva show. Alongside the hybrid, Geneva motor show audiences will also be able to check out this souped up Evora – the Lotus Evora Carbon.

The Evora Carbon derives much of its features from the Evora race car that competed in the GT4 series.

The car features a white water-based pearlescent paint that provides great contrast with the carbon-fiber panels. The car sits atop 19-inch alloys with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires.The diffuser and splitter are both made of carbon fiber.

While the 414E Hybrid might just remain a concept car, the Evora Carbon might just make it as a production model.
