The indicators taken from the Vauxhall/Opel parts bin eventually give up the ghost. This is first shown when the full beam flash function refuses to work.

The replacement part is Vauxhall/Opel No 9181010 and can be got from any Vauxhall/Opel dealer, although at around £40 plus VAT it's cheaper to buy a new non OEM part for less than £15 on the web or ebay. The part number for the indicator stalk with the cruise control switch (S2 and S3) is 9181011.

I was able to obtain the OEM (Bilstein from Germany) part in July 2014 from www.VauxhallWorldParts.com for £16, inc VAT & UK postage. The part is the same for both the S1 and S2.

----

Firstly you need to remove the cowling around the steering wheel.

You might want to clean up a little in here, the picture shows nearly 8 years or crud.

[[Image:CowlingOff.jpg]]

Once the cowling is off the indicator stalk can be slid away from the housing by pinching the clips on the top and bottom of the unit.

[[Image:IndicatorClips.jpg]]

The cables can be prized off the rear, usually in two culsters, again press the clips to ease them out.

[[Image:IndicatorCluster.jpg]]

Plug the cables in the new unit and slide home into the housing.

TEST IT WORKS.

If all is working refit the cowling.

Job done.

Wheels designed for the Evora Sport 410 and GT410/GT430 Sport are designed with the vehicles reduced weight and 2+0 seating configuration in-mind, and are not suitable for fitment on to the Evora 400 or 2+2 configuration GT410/GT430 Sports. GT410 and GT430 Sports with a 2+2 configuration are equipped with the Evora 400 forged wheels as standard and GT430 Forged Wheels as an option.

For identification, ‘Evora’ and ‘Sport’ are displayed on the outer side of the wheel rim and the maximum load rating values applicable for the front and rear wheels are displayed on the inner side of the wheel rim.

==Wheel Bolts==

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

==Tyres==

===OE Fitment===

The Evora is supplied as standard with [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/car/genericContent/p_zero Pirelli P-Zero tyres]. The fronts are 225/40 ZR18, the rears are 255/35 ZR19. Pressures as listed in the owners manual are front 33psi, rear 36 psi. This is increased to 40psi and 43psi if the car is heavily loaded. Pirelli produce different compounds for different manufacturers - for the Evora MO compound tyres are used on the front and MO1 for the rear<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351246 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres- is that the Porsche or the Ferrari version]</ref>.

If you opt for the larger diameter Design wheels then tyre sizes are increased to 235/35 R19 for the fronts and 275/30 R20 for the rears, with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa's becoming the standard fitment.

Winter tyres are also available from Lotus in the form of the [http://www2.yokohama-online.com/gb/tyre-products.php?g=151 Yokohama W. Drive] V902 'LTS'. These are 215/40 R18 on the front, 245/35 R19 on the rear and use the same pressures as the standard Pirellis.

===Alternatives===

Yokohama Advan Sport AD08's are also available to fit the Evora. Yokohama's were used during the cars development before switching to Pirelli P-Zeros for production.

Avon also makes the [http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/car/zz5 ZZ5] in sizes to suit the Evora and aimed towards 'small to medium -sized high-performance cars'<ref>[http://www.tyrepress.com/News/1/22/22077.html Tyre Press - Avon launches ZZ5, UHP successor to ZZ3]</ref>.

Note that the inset figure is the displacement of the wheelrim centreline relative to the wheel/hub mounting face. A positive inset indicates that the wheelrim centreline lies inboard of the wheel mounting face, whereas a negative inset means the wheelrim centreline is outboard of the mounting face.

==Wheel Bolts==

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

A positive inset indicates that the wheelrim centreline lies inboard of the wheel mounting face, whereas a negative inset means the wheelrim centreline is outboard of the mounting face.

==Wheel Bolts==

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

==Tyres==

===OE Fitment===

The Evora is supplied as standard with [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/car/genericContent/p_zero Pirelli P-Zero tyres]. The fronts are 225/40 ZR18, the rears are 255/35 ZR19. Pressures as listed in the owners manual are front 33psi, rear 36 psi. This is increased to 40psi and 43psi if the car is heavily loaded. Pirelli produce different compounds for different manufacturers - for the Evora MO compound tyres are used on the front and MO1 for the rear<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351246 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres- is that the Porsche or the Ferrari version]</ref>.

If you opt for the larger diameter Design wheels then tyre sizes are increased to 235/35 R19 for the fronts and 275/30 R20 for the rears, with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa's becoming the standard fitment.

Winter tyres are also available from Lotus in the form of the [http://www2.yokohama-online.com/gb/tyre-products.php?g=151 Yokohama W. Drive] V902 'LTS'. These are 215/40 R18 on the front, 245/35 R19 on the rear and use the same pressures as the standard Pirellis.

===Alternatives===

Yokohama Advan Sport AD08's are also available to fit the Evora. Yokohama's were used during the cars development before switching to Pirelli P-Zeros for production.

Wheels designed for the Evora Sport 410 and GT410/GT430 Sport are designed with the vehicles reduced weight and 2+0 seating configuration in-mind, and are not suitable for fitment on to the Evora 400 or 2+2 configuration GT430 Sports. GT430 Sports with a 2+2 configuration are equipped with the standard Evora 400 forged wheels and GT430 Forged Wheels as an option.

For identification, ‘Evora’ and ‘Sport’ are displayed on the outer side of the wheel rim and the maximum load rating values applicable for the front and rear wheels are displayed on the inner side of the wheel rim.

A 'GCC Spare' wheel (Part Number: B132G0216F) also exists for Gulf State cars<ref>[http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f170/ordering-evora-400-wheels-current-evora-341985/index2.html#post5623633 Ordering Evora 400 Wheels for Current Evora - Page 2 - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community]</ref> - for legislative reasons these cars are supplied with a spare wheel (which can be fitted to the front and rear), jack, tool kit, torque wrench, first aid kit, fire extinguisher. The wheel however has to be stored inside the cabin, meaning it isn't a practical solution to a flat tyre.

Known Issues - Evora

2016-11-12T10:27:51Z

JimboHJH: /* Rear Light Chrome Trims */

Please fill this entry with known issues that are occurring with the Lotus Evora.

These are not necessarily common or guaranteed issues, just ones which have been reported by some owners.

==Exterior==

===Cracked cosmetic roof panel===

Although rare the cosmetic roof panel fixings can expand slightly with heat, leading to the boot clipping the panel when the boot is opened. Over time this can lead to the panel cracking.<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1328746&mid=116749&nmt=Odd+boot+opening+issue PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Odd boot opening issue]</ref>

The issue is reported as being recognised by Lotus and is resolved by replacing the cosmetic roof panel and fixings.

===Door lock issues===

See [http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=364994 thread].

===Front Door Pillar Surround===

On some earlier cars some of the front door pillar/windscreen surround mouldings were coming unstuck and had to be replaced.

===Rear Light Chrome Trims===

[[image:Evora Black Rear Light Surround.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Later style black rear light surround.]]
Chrome rear light surrounds on Evoras have a tendency to tarnish and lose their "chrome". Evora 'S' and 'SR' from MY12 onwards use a black painted rear light surround which does not exhibit the same issues and can be fitted as a replacement<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351082 SELOC Chat » Good service from Williams Automobiles on Evora and mods]</ref>.
{{clr}}

==Interior==

===Interior Build Quality===

Some reports of poor build quality on the interior, particularly in early cars.

===Poor fitting passenger airbag lid===

The clips which hold down the passenger side airbag lid can sometimes fail, causing the lid to no longer sit flush over the airbag module. These clips are designed to break when the airbag is deployed, and so the failure should not a safety issue and should not affect the operation of the airbag.<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5970707 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Which Evora model is this?]</ref>

These clips can be replaced to remedy the issue, however doing so involves removing some parts of the dash and given the implications of working around the airbag are best carried out by an approved Lotus Service Centre.

===Recaro seat wear===

[[Image:Evora Seat Wear.jpg || thumb || right || 200px || Wear to the side bolster of the drivers seat in an Evora]]
The Evora comes equipped with Recaro Sportster CS seats as standard and there has been a report of these showing signs of wear even early in the cars life<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=303857 SELOC Forums: Evora S - 3 months in]</ref>.

These seats are also used in other cars such as the Mk2 Ford Focus RS where they have exhibited similar issues, suggesting this is a quality control issue for Recaro.

Lotus appear to be willing to replace seats that have shown excessive wear under warranty, however this is not guaranteed.

Others have reported positive results using [http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm Gliptone Liquid Leather Scuffmaster] to dye the seats where they have worn<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=350508 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Seats - Leather not as durable as I thought]</ref>.
{{clr}}

==Mechanical==

===Clutch Master Cylinder===

The design of the clutch master cylinder was improved upon for the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_S | Evora S]], and can be retrofitted to the standard model if the original unit fails.

Some have reported rare case of failures of the early style clutch master cylinder leading to a change of clutch pedal feel, and an inability to operate the clutch<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1272922&nmt= PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Clutch pedal hit the floor...]</ref>.

===Anti-Roll Bar Bushes===

Anti-roll bar (ARB) bushes can dry out and cause knocking noises, particularly the front . Replacing these and properly lubricating them can solve the issue<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351082 SELOC Chat » Good service from Williams Automobiles on Evora and mods]</ref>.

===Gear Cables===

Some earlier cars were reported to have less than accurate shifting, so the gear shifts were changed in the second half of 2010. However, increasing it's accuracy resulted in reports of some, over time suffering stiff or obstructive gear shifts, making some gears difficult to select.

If customers complain of poor gear shift quality then the cables can be adjusted both at the gearbox and gear linkage ends to improve gear selection, or replaced entirely. This is a 5 hour job as it involves removing parts of the interior.

For MY12 cars the cable set up was changed albeit at a cost to try and improve the consistency of accurate and smooth gear-changes. However, a well set up/adjusted pre MY12 will provide a similar feel.

For more information see the following forum threads:
*[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=338898 SELOC Chat » Evora gear change upgrade]
*[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5776122 SELOC Chat » Fobbed off by Lotus]

===Oil lines===

Evora S only.

A recall was made for Evora S' built before September 2011 for a replacement to the three-piece oil feed pipe used to supply oil to the engine cylinder head after there were reports of failures resulting in engine loss and possible engine fires.

The pipe is replaced by a redesigned single piece item.<ref>[http://www.insideline.com/lotus/evora/2011/2011-lotus-evora-recalled-for-fire-risk.html Inside Line - 2011 Lotus Evora Recalled for Fire Risk]</ref>

===Rear Tyre Wear===

Rear tyre wear has been reported to be fairly high on many cars, even when driven conservatively. In general owners have reported rear tyres can need replacing after around 10k miles, while others have seen as little as 5k miles, although this obviously is affected by usage and driving style.

===Transmission Noise===

Some Evoras are reported as having higher than expected transmission noise at low speed in the lower gears, characterised by the sound of 'a rotating component binding on a metal casing'. Some owners have managed to get Lotus to address the issue under warranty, and others report that the noise is down to poor quality throwout bearings in the clutch.

JimboHJH: /* Rear Light Chrome Trims */

Please fill this entry with known issues that are occurring with the Lotus Evora.

These are not necessarily common or guaranteed issues, just ones which have been reported by some owners.

==Exterior==

===Cracked cosmetic roof panel===

Although rare the cosmetic roof panel fixings can expand slightly with heat, leading to the boot clipping the panel when the boot is opened. Over time this can lead to the panel cracking.<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1328746&mid=116749&nmt=Odd+boot+opening+issue PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Odd boot opening issue]</ref>

The issue is reported as being recognised by Lotus and is resolved by replacing the cosmetic roof panel and fixings.

===Door lock issues===

See [http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=364994 thread].

===Front Door Pillar Surround===

On some earlier cars some of the front door pillar/windscreen surround mouldings were coming unstuck and had to be replaced.

===Rear Light Chrome Trims===

Chrome rear light surrounds on pre MY12 Evoras have a tendency to tarnish and lose their "chrome". Evora 'S' and 'SR' from MY12 onwards use a black painted rear light surround which does not exhibit the same issues and can be fitted as a replacement<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351082 SELOC Chat » Good service from Williams Automobiles on Evora and mods]</ref>.

==Interior==

===Interior Build Quality===

Some reports of poor build quality on the interior, particularly in early cars.

===Poor fitting passenger airbag lid===

The clips which hold down the passenger side airbag lid can sometimes fail, causing the lid to no longer sit flush over the airbag module. These clips are designed to break when the airbag is deployed, and so the failure should not a safety issue and should not affect the operation of the airbag.<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5970707 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Which Evora model is this?]</ref>

These clips can be replaced to remedy the issue, however doing so involves removing some parts of the dash and given the implications of working around the airbag are best carried out by an approved Lotus Service Centre.

===Recaro seat wear===

[[Image:Evora Seat Wear.jpg || thumb || right || 200px || Wear to the side bolster of the drivers seat in an Evora]]
The Evora comes equipped with Recaro Sportster CS seats as standard and there has been a report of these showing signs of wear even early in the cars life<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=303857 SELOC Forums: Evora S - 3 months in]</ref>.

These seats are also used in other cars such as the Mk2 Ford Focus RS where they have exhibited similar issues, suggesting this is a quality control issue for Recaro.

Lotus appear to be willing to replace seats that have shown excessive wear under warranty, however this is not guaranteed.

Others have reported positive results using [http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm Gliptone Liquid Leather Scuffmaster] to dye the seats where they have worn<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=350508 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Seats - Leather not as durable as I thought]</ref>.

==Mechanical==

===Clutch Master Cylinder===

The design of the clutch master cylinder was improved upon for the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_S | Evora S]], and can be retrofitted to the standard model if the original unit fails.

Some have reported rare case of failures of the early style clutch master cylinder leading to a change of clutch pedal feel, and an inability to operate the clutch<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1272922&nmt= PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Clutch pedal hit the floor...]</ref>.

===Anti-Roll Bar Bushes===

Anti-roll bar (ARB) bushes can dry out and cause knocking noises, particularly the front . Replacing these and properly lubricating them can solve the issue<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351082 SELOC Chat » Good service from Williams Automobiles on Evora and mods]</ref>.

===Gear Cables===

Some earlier cars were reported to have less than accurate shifting, so the gear shifts were changed in the second half of 2010. However, increasing it's accuracy resulted in reports of some, over time suffering stiff or obstructive gear shifts, making some gears difficult to select.

If customers complain of poor gear shift quality then the cables can be adjusted both at the gearbox and gear linkage ends to improve gear selection, or replaced entirely. This is a 5 hour job as it involves removing parts of the interior.

For MY12 cars the cable set up was changed albeit at a cost to try and improve the consistency of accurate and smooth gear-changes. However, a well set up/adjusted pre MY12 will provide a similar feel.

*[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5776122 SELOC Chat » Fobbed off by Lotus]

===Oil lines===

Evora S only.

A recall was made for Evora S' built before September 2011 for a replacement to the three-piece oil feed pipe used to supply oil to the engine cylinder head after there were reports of failures resulting in engine loss and possible engine fires.

The pipe is replaced by a redesigned single piece item.<ref>[http://www.insideline.com/lotus/evora/2011/2011-lotus-evora-recalled-for-fire-risk.html Inside Line - 2011 Lotus Evora Recalled for Fire Risk]</ref>

===Rear Tyre Wear===

Rear tyre wear has been reported to be fairly high on many cars, even when driven conservatively. In general owners have reported rear tyres can need replacing after around 10k miles, while others have seen as little as 5k miles, although this obviously is affected by usage and driving style.

===Transmission Noise===

Some Evoras are reported as having higher than expected transmission noise at low speed in the lower gears, characterised by the sound of 'a rotating component binding on a metal casing'. Some owners have managed to get Lotus to address the issue under warranty, and others report that the noise is down to poor quality throwout bearings in the clutch.

Brake discs

2014-02-03T16:40:25Z

JimboHJH: /* MMC */

==Lotus OEM Fitment==
===S1 Elise===
====MMC====
When originally conceived and released, the Elise was supplied with Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) brake discs in combination with specific MMC brake pads. In general it is agreed that an MMC brake setup provides excellent brake performance and feel. The only real complaint seems to be that in wet weather the initial bite and performance is poor until the discs are dried by application. (From VIN 2260 a splash guard was introduced to reduce this problem - Source [http://www.elises.co.uk elises.co.uk])

MMC's differ from normal 'iron' discs in that the friction generated is mostly Adherent Friction rather than abrasive friction (a very good article on the nature of braking can be found [http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml here]). Essentially when the disc and pad come in contact some of the pad material transfers onto the disc surface, meaning the contact patches between the two are effectively the same material. As the disc rotates the bonds between the surfaces break and reform creating friction.

One of the benefits of Adherent Friction is that under normal use the discs last a very very long time. When braking the pads transfer their material to the surface of the disc, and it is this layer that is broken down, not the disc suface. Therefore the discs suffer very little wear. Under very heavy use however, the bonds between the pad and disc cannot reform as fast as they are broken down, meaning areas of the disc can lose the material layer entirely. When this happens the abrasive friction of the pad can score away the disc surface making it too rough to rebuild the original material layer. If this happens braking performance from the disc is permanently damaged and the disc must be replaced. For this reason car used on track or running semi-slick tyres may wish to use traditional setups.

MMC discs were also extremely light, reducing the unsprung weight of each wheel.

MMC brake systems were supplied up until VIN 3714, when increased part costs forced Lotus to introduce standard iron brake discs. Recently Lotus have had trouble sourcing replacement pads, and have offered discounted conversions to iron discs for affected customers. Third party replacement pads are available from [http://www.eliseparts.com Elise Parts] and [http://www.elise-shop.com Elise Shop]. These alternative pads are also said to improve wet weather performance. MMC discs are no longer available.

====Standard cast iron====
These discs followed the MMC disc as the standard brake disc for the S1 Elise from VIN 3715.

Although introduced for cost reasons, Iron disks are better able to withstand the high temperatures associated with track driving and provide better wet weather performance than the previous MMC disks.

The surface of the disks are solid, however they are internally vented to aid cooling. As the disk rotates at speed, centrifugal forces act on the air inside the vanes, forcing it outwards from the center. This action then draws fresh, cooler, air from the center of the disc through the internal vanes and out through the holes in the edges. (Lotus Part Number: A111J0128F)

[[Image:A111J0128F.JPG|thumb|left|Vented S1 OEM Disc]]
{{clr}}

====Cross drilled====
The Sport 135, Sport 160, Sport 190 and 111S models were supplied with iron disks which were vented and cross drilled. Cross drilling is the name given to drilling holes through the disc. This has a number of advantages:
* The holes allow for better cooling by drawing more air into the internal vanes.
* The edges of the holes clean pad surface which can provide increased brake 'bite'.
* The holes prevent gasses from collecting between the pad and disc surface
* The holes reduce the weight of the disk, and therefore its inertia and the unsprung weight.

(Lotus Part Number: A111J0141F)

[[Image:A111J0141F.JPG|thumb|left|Cross drilled and Vented S1 Disc]]
{{clr}}

===S1 Exige, 340R===
The Lotus Series 1 Exige and 340R, were fitted with the same cross drilled disks as seen on the Series 1 111s and Sport 160 editions described above.
(Lotus Part Number:A111J0141F)

===S2 Elise and Exige===
Series 2 Elises are fitted with 288mm vented iron discs.

The discs on the S2 are different from those one the S1. This is due to the S1 iron discs being a copy of the original MMC discs and therefore an uncoventional size. S2's were shipped as standard with plain discs, with cross drilled versions being available as an option. Later S2's were shipped with the cross drilled discs as standard.

The S2 discs feature longer, curved internal flow passages which increase the disc stability and reduce hot spot formation. The revised hole pattern has been specified to complement the new vane arrangement.

The discs are not handed, so the same disc is used on the right and left hand sides of the car. The cooling air flow through the left and right discs is identical and the flow rate is purely a result of pressure differential between the centre of the disc and its rim; the shape of the vanes and the direction of rotation does not affect the flow rate significantly.

Some noise from the brakes themselves is to be expected but there is a fix to stop brake pads banging in the calipers.

===Vauxhall VX220/Opel Speedster===

VX/Speedster discs are also 288mm as on the S2, but there are some differences:

* hubs are 5 stud
* use a bigger center bore
* use a slightly different offset (about 1 to 2mm) because the VX220 uses a different bearing pack. (uprights are identical to the S2 though)
* are almost the same thickness as S2 discs (25mm vs. 26mm), but have a much thicker surface and as a result a much smaller air-gap between the disc surfaces.

The last point makes the VX220 discs significantly heavier than S2 discs (around 750G to 1 Kg each).

The thicker surface should give them a little more heat capacity, but also makes it more difficult for them to shed the heat again.

VX220 discs are actually taken from existing GM cars (Vauxhall/SAAB), eg. Vauxhall Vectra V6 2.5 front discs, and as such they can be obtain from many regular car-parts stores are very low prices.

These are budget brake discs and are ideal if you are looking for good fast road performance but you don't want to spend thousands of pounds on upgrading your braking system.

'''EBC Sport (Drilled & Slotted)'''

[[Image:EBC_Gold_Discs.jpg|thumb|150px|]]

Wide aperture grooves
Special disc alloys UNIQUE to EBC
Dimple hole construction
Balanced geometry

The wide slot draws cool air across the pad surface keeping pads and discs cooler. They also expel dust, dirt and hot gases better than fine slots which eventually fill with rust and scale. 
The blind drilled holes are there to break down surface gases when braking hard from speed but do not weaken the cross section of the disc as can happen with discs that are drilled all the way through, thereby lessening the chance of the discs cracking due to heavy use. 
These discs are standard size OEM replacements with a cosmetic surface coating that helps prevent unsightly rust, however the coating will soon go and the un-braked surfaces of the disc will rust. 
The grooved and drilled design means the pads and disks run cooler but the surface area reduction means braking efficiency will be reduced unless the brake pads are upgraded to a higher friction compound to compensate. So if you add extra friction to better cooling you will have better brakes. 
Extra benefits of drilled and grooved discs is the effect the slots have on maintaining a flat smooth pad surface during the pads wear life. The slots encourage the pads to wear with a more flat pattern and the "Ribbing" common with non slotted rotors does not appear. This removes the "Record groove" effect of pads on plain discs, particularly around the outer edge and helps pads maintain better contact area with the disk through their life. 

[[Image:P1011059.jpg|right|thumbnail|150px|EBC Ultimax Disc]]

'''EBC Ultimax Black Anodised discs'''

EBC Ultimax discs offer much quieter braking and feature a special paint process to prevent corrosion. Note that the black surface will go away on the part where the brake pads touch the disc and this area can/will rust. How fast is depending on how the discs are used (and brake pads). I have read reports from 2 month to still being totally black after 2 years.

==Common Questions==

===Pads sticking to the disc===

The unservoed brakes on the S1 were criticized for not having enough initial bite when first applied, so Lotus used higher "grab" pads on the S2 to improve this. A byproduct of these pads is they tend to stick to the disc over a period of time, in damp or humid conditions this can happen within a couple of hours. This is something that affects the S1 as well but not to the same extent. Normally the sticking is limited to a clunk on pulling away, but with wet weather or if the car has recently been washed, the sticking can be quite severe. This however is not a problem its just something you just need to be aware of, it is also just another case of [http://wiki.seloc.org/index.php/TADTS TADTS]

==Tyres==

As standard the tyres on the [[Models_-_Exige_V6#Exige_S_.282012.29 | Exige S]] are the following sizes: 
Front: 205/45 R17 88Y, 32 psi (2.2 bar) 
Rear: 265/35 R18 97Y (Corsa)/93Y (Trofeo), 38 psi (2.6 bar)

===OE Fitment===

As standard the Exige S comes equipped with [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/gb/en/car/sheet/pzero_corsa_system.html Pirelli P Zero Corsa] summer tyres.

Track focused [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/gb/en/car/sheet-motorsport/pzero_trofeo.html Pirelli P Zero Trofeo] tyres are also available from Lotus, combining 2 distinct tread patterns. The inner area, together with the longitudinal grooves, responds to the critical issues of wet surfaces and aquaplaning, while the outer area with pattern derived from rally asphalt applications, ensures the required rigidity to cope with the stresses during cornering, typical of racetrack driving.

For winter tyres Lotus specify Pirelli SottoZero Serie II tyres, SottoZero 210 Serie II 205/45 R17 88V M+S (33.5 psi) for the fronts, SottoZero 240 Serie II 235/40 R18 95V M+S (36 psi) for the rears.

JimboHJH: /* Child Booster Seats Group 2 & 3 (4 years - 11 years) */

[[Category:Lotus Elise]] [[Category:S1]] [[Category:S2]] [[Category:Lotus Europa]] [[Category: Safety]]
==== Children in a Lotus ====

Having a kid does not necessary mean the end of Lotus ownership. Many owners have kids and regularly take them out in the Lotus.

There are many makes of seats for all ages that fit the Elise, although none of the factory fitted seats have IsoFix fitments so child seats must be belt fitted.

There's a vast choice of child seats available and also a lot of variations in the Elise seat design/padding over the years the car has been manufactured - so try before you buy.

==== Child Seat Safety Law ====
Whatever you buy make sure it complies with the up-to-date Child Seat Safety Law
http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/childcarseats/childcarseats.htm

==== Child Seat Types ====
http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/types/index.htm

The following seats have been found to fit various Elise/Exige seats and provide a good starting point for the test fitting trip to Halfords or Mothercare.

==== Baby Seats - Group 0 (-9 months) ====
*Maxicosi Cabrio
*Brittax rockatot
*Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio SIP (without base)
*Jane Travel System car seat - group 0+ ( to 13kg, -18 months)
[[Image:P1030003.JPG]]
Jane Travel System car seat

==== Child Seats Group 1 (9 months - 4 years) ====
*Maxicosi Priory (Note, not S2 Exige Touring with probax, seat very wobbly)
*Britax Duo
*Britax Prince (S1 Exige with motorsport seats)
*Maxicosi Tobi (Fits S2 Exige Touring with probax superbly) 2009 model fits VX220 with cloth seats "better than any seat/car combo" the shop folks have ever seen. Also a great fit for Recaro front seats in the Evora.
*Mama and Papas Pro-Tec (Fits brilliantly in an S1 with cloth seats)
*Romer - Eclipse (Fits a standard S1 seat nicely).
*Britax Evolva123 (Groups 1,2&3)- suitable for the rear seats in the Evora

==== Child Booster Seats Group 2 & 3 (4 years - 11 years)====
*Britax Hi-Liner
*Halfords Michelangelo
*Britax Adventure

==== Push Chair/Buggies ====
You can even get a push chair to fit in the boot of the Elise!

'''Quinny Zapp'''

The Quinny Zapp is used by a few owners, and it can also take the Maxicosi Cabrio seat. The Zapp is a tried and tested fit in the boot of an S2 Exige S too, without even removing the wheels (the pushchair's, not the car's!)

[[Image:QuinnyIn.JPG]][[Image:QuinnyOut.JPG]]

'''Petite Star Zia'''

The Petite Star Zia is a similar design and fits in the boot of an Elise S2. It also reclines and has a basket underneath, and has a slight price advantage.

[[Image:ZiaInS2.jpg]]

'''Quinny Yezz'''

A new kid on the block, The Quinny Yezz, even smaller than the Zapp!!

I was given one by Quinny as a fathers day present to review in a mans point of view, obviously I tried it in my S1 boot, it fitted with ease and with room to spare. It even fits in the passenger side footwell.

==Rear seats==

The Evora can be ordered in one of two configurations - either as a 2+0 with storage behind the seats, or as a 2+2 with a small rear bench for two passengers to sit on.

Although the rear seats are often criticised for their lack of leg room 2+2 configuration cars are more popular and tend to hold a small premium over 2+0's. It is nigh on impossible to retro fit rear seats to a 2+0 car, as while the interior trim can be changed to accommodate it the seat base and back the fixings required for the rear seat belts are not present in 2+0 cars and are not easily added<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1246243&mid=116749&nmt=Does+anyone+know+if+%3F PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Does anyone know if ?]</ref>.

The trimming of the rear seats varies depending on whether the car is specified with or without any of the Premium or Premium Sport Pack options listed above.
* Standard interior in Evoras not equipped with any form of Premium Pack have the rear seats are trimmed in cloth.
* Premium Pack equipped cars feature rear seats trimmed in Black leather with a feature strip in the colour of the front seats running across the seat back.
* Premium Pack Sport equipped cars do not have the feature strip and are instead trimmed entirely to match the colour of the front seats, with Lotus roundels in the headrest and carbon leather inserts.

===Removal===

The rear seat base can be easily removed and is just held in place with velcro. The seat backrest is also fairly simple to remove but requires a couple more steps.

On 2+2 cars, the rear seat backrest is secured by a screw behind each backrest top insert pad, two screws at the bottom edge and Velcro patches. To remove the seat:
* Remove the rear seat cushion by pulling free from its Velcro fastening.
* Remove both backrest top insert pads by pushing upwards to release the spring clips. Release each of the single screw fixings thus revealed.
* Remove the two screws at the bottom edge of the backrest, and pull the panel free from its Velcro fastening.

On 2+0 cars, the insulating pad on the rear bulkhead is retained by Velcro pads.

[[Category:Lotus Elise]] [[Category:S1]] [[Category:S2]] [[Category:Lotus Europa]] [[Category: Safety]]
==== Children in a Lotus ====

Having a kid does not necessary mean the end of Lotus ownership. Many owners have kids and regularly take them out in the Lotus.

There are many makes of seats for all ages that fit the Elise, although none of the factory fitted seats have IsoFix fitments so child seats must be belt fitted.

There's a vast choice of child seats available and also a lot of variations in the Elise seat design/padding over the years the car has been manufactured - so try before you buy.

==== Child Seat Safety Law ====
Whatever you buy make sure it complies with the up-to-date Child Seat Safety Law
http://www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk/campaigns/childcarseats/childcarseats.htm

==== Child Seat Types ====
http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/types/index.htm

The following seats have been found to fit various Elise/Exige seats and provide a good starting point for the test fitting trip to Halfords or Mothercare.

==== Baby Seats - Group 0 (-9 months) ====
*Maxicosi Cabrio
*Brittax rockatot
*Mamas and Papas Primo Viaggio SIP (without base)
*Jane Travel System car seat - group 0+ ( to 13kg, -18 months)
[[Image:P1030003.JPG]]
Jane Travel System car seat

==== Child Seats Group 1 (9 months - 4 years) ====
*Maxicosi Priory (Note, not S2 Exige Touring with probax, seat very wobbly)
*Britax Duo
*Britax Prince (S1 Exige with motorsport seats)
*Maxicosi Tobi (Fits S2 Exige Touring with probax superbly) 2009 model fits VX220 with cloth seats "better than any seat/car combo" the shop folks have ever seen. Also a great fit for Recaro front seats in the Evora.
*Mama and Papas Pro-Tec (Fits brilliantly in an S1 with cloth seats)
*Romer - Eclipse (Fits a standard S1 seat nicely).
*Britax Evolva123 (Groups 1,2&3)- suitable for the rear seats in the Evora

==== Child Booster Seats Group 2 & 3 (4 years - 11 years)====
*Britax Hi-Liner
*Halfords Michelangelo

==== Push Chair/Buggies ====
You can even get a push chair to fit in the boot of the Elise!

'''Quinny Zapp'''

The Quinny Zapp is used by a few owners, and it can also take the Maxicosi Cabrio seat. The Zapp is a tried and tested fit in the boot of an S2 Exige S too, without even removing the wheels (the pushchair's, not the car's!)

[[Image:QuinnyIn.JPG]][[Image:QuinnyOut.JPG]]

'''Petite Star Zia'''

The Petite Star Zia is a similar design and fits in the boot of an Elise S2. It also reclines and has a basket underneath, and has a slight price advantage.

[[Image:ZiaInS2.jpg]]

'''Quinny Yezz'''

A new kid on the block, The Quinny Yezz, even smaller than the Zapp!!

I was given one by Quinny as a fathers day present to review in a mans point of view, obviously I tried it in my S1 boot, it fitted with ease and with room to spare. It even fits in the passenger side footwell.

All the current V6 engined Lotus' ([[Models_-_Evora#Evora |Evora]], [[Models_-_Evora#Evora S | Evora S]], [[Models_-_Exige_V6#Exige_S_.282012.29 | Exige S]]) share a similar braking system, although some unique options are available for each.

* Servo-assisted, track tuned 4-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS)
* AP-Racing four-piston calipers (front and rear) - Evora & Exige use their own unique calipers.
* Front: 350 mm ventilated and cross drilled cast-iron discs (except on non-sport pack equipped Evora, which are fitted with non-cross drilled discs)
* Rear: 332 mm ventilated and cross drilled cast-iron discs (except on non-sport pack equipped Evora, which are fitted with non-cross drilled discs)

===Evora===

For the Evora the brake discs and caliper colour varies depending on the car's specification.

The entry level [[Models_-_Evora#Evora |Evora]], if specified without the Sport Pack, would come with non-cross drilled brake discs and unpainted brake calipers.

Prior to MY12 cars equipped with the Sport Pack (standard on the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora S | Evora S]]) were fitted with cross drilled brake discs and Black calipers. For the [[Models_-_Evora#MY12_Updates | MY12 Evora]] the Sports Pack brake caliper colour was changed to Red (Black being a non-cost option). The actual caliper used is the same regardless of colour.

A V6 engined version of the Exige had been rumored for many years, even back before the introduction of the [[:Category:Lotus Evora|Evora]], but as rumors built through 2011<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=308000 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Imminent new very powerful factory Exige]</ref>, with prototypes being spotted both with modified S2 Exige style bodywork and camouflaged paintwork at the Nurburgring - with camouflaged cars seen lacking the Exiges traditional roof scoop and, in some cases, the rear wing.

[[image:Lotus Exige S 2012 Launch.jpg|left|thumb|400px|Lotus Exige S (2012) unveiling at Frankfurt Motor Show, 2011.]] The car finally broke cover at the Frankfurt Motor Show<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/09/lotus-cars-group-lotus-unveils-the-next-generation-exige-at-frankfurt/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – Group Lotus unveils the next generation Exige at Frankfurt]</ref> on September 13th with Lotus Advisory Board member Bob Lutz unveiling the Exige S road and Exige R-GT rally cars.

The launch however was only the beginning of the Exige S's protracted path towards customer deliveries.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show initial deliveries were cited for January 2012<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/10/my12-range-set-to-hit-dealers-soon/ SELOC - MY12 Range Set To Hit Dealers Soon...]</ref>, but the company was unable to provide official performance, weight or emission figures for the car, instead simply giving estimated 0-60mph, 0-100mph and weight figures of 3.8s, 7.9s and 1080kg respectively as the car was still waiting to undergo the type approval process.

After the Frankfurt launch the car was again seen testing at the Nurburgring<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/10/exige-s-v6-spotted-testing-at-the-nurburgring/ SELOC - Exige S V6 Spotted Testing at the Nurburgring]</ref>, along with a test car spotted in Holland<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/11/exige-v6-and-s2-exige-side-by-side-in-the-netherlands/ SELOC - Exige V6 and S2 Exige side by side in the Netherlands]</ref> along with the MY12 Elise S and a dealer preview even at JCT600 in November<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/11/exige-s-v6-pictures-and-video-from-jct600/ SELOC - Exige S V6 pictures and video from JCT600]</ref>.

A number of dealership demo days were scheduled for December<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2011/12/exige-s-dealer-preview-dates-announced/ SELOC - Exige S Dealer Preview Dates Announced]</ref>, with the blue 'Ride and Handling' prototype set to be driven between dealership, however the cars engine was damaged during filming at the companies Hethel test track with Bruno Senna driving the car. Rumors say that Senna selected the wrong gear on a downshift and over-revved the engine, however Lotus never commented on the cause of the damage.

In its place the non-running Frankfurt show car was trailered between the preview days, however the first 3 events had to be cancelled due to the short notice and distances involved. A [http://www.seloc.org/2011/12/gallery-exige-s-preview-days-underway/ gallery of photos from the preview days] and [http://www.seloc.org/articles/guides/first-impressions-of-the-exige-s-v6/ first impressions] on it can be found on the main SELOC website.

Official performance figures<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/01/final-exige-s-performance-and-weight-figures/ SELOC - Final Exige S Performance and Weight Figures]</ref> and initial brochures<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/01/my12-exige-s-brochure-available-online/ SELOC - MY12 Exige S Brochure Available Online]</ref> were finally published in January 2012, however the cars 0-100mph and weight figures had increased to 8.5s and 1176kg and customer cars were still nowhere to be seen and delivery dates being pushed out.

In February 2012 Lotus teased a new convertible model at the Geneva motor show, and while many predicted a convertible Evora<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/02/lotus-to-launch-exige-s-convertible-at-geneva/ SELOC - Lotus to Launch Exige S Convertible at Geneva]</ref> it was instead the Exige S Roadster<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/03/lotus-cars-hardcore-soft-top/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – Hardcore Soft Top]</ref> which was shown - explaining the spoiler-less Exige seen testing before the cars launch.

Press reviews finally came out on April 25th<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/04/exige-s-review-day-review-roundup/ SELOC - Exige S Review Day – Review Roundup]</ref>, with the reviews raving about the cars performance, handling and new Race Mode, but some bemoaning the cramped interior dimensions inherent of the Elise chassis. The take-over of Proton by DRB-Hicom<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/articles/guides/the-lotus-position-what-happening-at-hethel/ SELOC - The Lotus Position – What Happening At Hethel?]</ref> however led to a halt in funding, a shutdown of the factory production lines and further delays for deliveries to September 2012<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/04/exige-s-deliveries-to-begin-september/ SELOC - Exige S Deliveries to Begin September]</ref>.

Potential customers for the car finally got a chance to drive it during a series of dealer demo days<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/05/exige-s-demo-days/ SELOC - Exige S Demo Days]</ref> in May, and you can [http://www.seloc.org/2012/06/test-driven-exige-s/ read about our test drive].

The first line built Exige S came off the production line on July 26th<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/07/lotus-cars-first-production-exige-s-comes-off-the-assembly-line/ SELOC - Lotus Cars – First Production Exige S comes off the Assembly Line]</ref>, however further checks and quality improvements meant that delays continued, with durability issues being cited as the cause<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/10/exige-s-hit-with-further-delays/ SELOC - Exige hit with further delays]</ref>. The first cars to be shipped from the factory appeared to be [[Models_-_Exige_V6#Exige_V6_Cup_Competition | Exige V6 Cup]] cars prepared by Lotus Racing and sold to Asia and the US for the Lotus Cup series<ref>[http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f163/exige-cup-v-6-a-118692/ LotusTalk - Lotus "Track" and Racing Cars - Exige Cup V-6]</ref>. On December 11th, 2012 the first European dealer demo cars were delivered to the Frédéric Koninckx Motors and Lotus Verhiest dealerships in Belgium<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/12/european-exige-s-dealer-demo-deliveries-begin/ SELOC - European Exige S dealer demo deliveries begin]</ref>, while UK dealer [http://www.bellandcolvill.co.uk Bell & Colvill] collected the first UK dealer demo car from Lotus's Hethel factory on December 14th 2012<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/12/bell-and-colvill-collect-uks-first-exige-s-dealer-demonstrator-car/ SELOC - Bell & Colvill collect UKs first Exige S dealer demonstrator car]</ref>.

The first customer delivery was made on January 4th 2013 to SELOC member Harleston<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2013/01/early-exige-s-customer-cars-begin-to-arrive/ SELOC - Early Exige S customer cars begin to arrive]</ref> as a customer car that was built early amongst the later batch of UK dealer cars.

==Platform Architecture==

The V6 engined Exige retains the same basic [[chassis]] that has been used throughout the Elises life, but matches it up with a new rear sub-frame similar in design to that of the Evora with which it shares it's [[Toyota_engines#Evora_S.2FExige_S | 2GR-FE engine]].

Major mechanical changes to previous generation Elise chassis based cars include Evora style cast aluminium lower rear wishbones, larger suspension bushes carried over from the Evora and the addition of a rear anti-roll bar. The front wishbones remain a similar design but with extra strengthening. The steering rack is also replaced by a slightly quicker ratio unit, but despite the weight gain and wider tyres remains non-power-assisted.

Compared the the S2 the Exige V6 has a 70mm longer wheelbase to accommodate the new engine, 25mm wider front track and 38mm wider rear track.

[[Image:Exige V6 and Elise S2 Overhead.png|thumb|center|600px|Exige V6 and S2 Elise Overhead Comparison]]

The 2012 Exige S was also the first Lotus to see the latest generation Bosch derived Lotus DPM system, which boasts a highly acclaimed Race Mode which actively monitors the grip levels of the rear tyres and works to maximise traction.

===Exige S Roadster===

[[image:Exige S Roadster - Nurburgring.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Exige S Roadster (2012)]]
The soft-top version of the Exige S differs from the coupe not only in the different roof, but also lacks the rear spoiler and front splitter of the coupe. Because of this, and to prevent damage to the soft-top, the Roadster is electronically limited to a top speed of 145mph.

The Roadster also features different [[Interior_-_Exige_V6#Roadster | interior trim specifications]] for the Premium and Premium Sport packs, with quilted leather used.

Shown at the Frankfurt launch of the Exige S, the Exige S Show Car was a non-functioning model which had to be wheeled around by hand and which was also used for the initial Dealer Preview Days after the original development car that was planned to be used was damaged. It now resides in the Regents Street Lotus Originals store.

Many details on the car differ somewhat from the finished product - including things like the DPM switch, door pulls and lack of hydraulic lifters on the boot-lid.

The show car was finished in Pearl White with red accent details which were not available as factory orders for the production car, and also features a bespoke version of the Premium Sport Pack interior and the cancelled Carbon Pack.

===Exige V6 Cup R===

[[image:Lotus-Exige-V6-Cup-R-Development-Car-1.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Exige V6 Cup R Development Car]]
In December 2012 a lucky group of potential Exige V6 Cup customers, including forum member 'jokke_vlo' were invited up to Hethel to test out the latest developments by Lotus Racing on the companies test track<ref>[http://www.seloc.org/2012/12/seloc-member-tests-latest-exige-v6-developments-from-lotus-racing/ SELOC - SELOC member tests latest Exige V6 developments from Lotus Racing]</ref>.

The revised car features a number of aerodynamic and mechanical changes to help transform the latest Exige from a road and track day weapon in to a full race ready machine.

On the outside the car has sprouted an extended front splitter and larger, adjustable, rear wing, while a slatted rear engine cover, removed inner rear lights and cut out where the number plate normally rests aid cooling.

Under the hood the Toyota sourced 2GR-FE engine sees a small power increase to 366ps due to revised intake, exhaust and mapping, while a sequential, paddle shift gearbox is added to help improve lap times and durability in race conditions.

Exige V6 Cup R cars are hand-built from the chassis up by Lotus Racing, with sills bolted to the chassis as opposed to being production line built with bonded side panels as on the Exige S and regular Exige V6 Cup cars. This helps with the access and repairs often needed on race cars.

The Lotus Exige V6 Cup R features as standard the follow performance upgrades and safety equipment:
* Bespoke 'V6 Cup' exterior detail & interior trim
* T45 steel main roll hoop incorporating 'A' frame, harness bar & front FIA bolt-in cage
* Motorsport specification carbon fibre rear wing
* Lightweight louvered engine cover
* Optional 6 speed sequential transmission with 'paddle-shift' operation, race tuned shift strategy
* FIA FT3 70 litre capacity fuel cell
* FIA approved fire suppression system
* Internal & external battery isolator switches
* FIA & HANS compliant carbon fibre drivers seat with 6 point harness
* Race pack - competition slick tyres, 4 mode DPM, 2 piece brake discs
* Multi adjustable competition specification suspension with front & rear anti roll bars
* Removable quick release steering wheel
* Baffled wet sump system with single rear mounted oil cooler
* Front & rear towing eyes
* Lotus Racing specific chassis number
* Weight reduction of circa 100 kilos (Claimed weight reduction over standard S road model)

JimboHJH: /* Head-unit */

This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

===Head-unit===

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars originally fitted with the [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-111r/ Alpine CDE-111R], later replaced by [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-131r/ Alpine CDE-131R](CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

====Alpine NVE-M300P====

The Alpine system in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars uses the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/navigation-systems6/nve-m300p Alpine NVE-M300P Navigation Module], which is connected to the headunit to provide satellite navigation.

[[image:Alpine NVE-M300P.jpg|200px]]

The module feature a mini-USB port which can be used with an adapter and memory stick to update the devices firmware and maps using the Naviextras Toolbox software. Full details on how to update these can be found on the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/firmware-map-update/nve-m300prue-m300-firmware-map-update.html Alpine NVE-M300P/RUE-M300 Firmware & Map Update] page.

====Alpine 400BT====

Provides Bluetooth support for the Alpine headunits used in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars.

The firmware for this can be updated using a Bluetooth equipped PC, following the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/bluetooth-firmware-update.html instructions on the Alpine website].

====Alpine PXA-H100====

[http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/processors14/pxa-h100 Alpine 'Imprint'] option, only available on pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars.

In Car Entertainment - Evora

2013-09-15T14:51:24Z

JimboHJH: /* Head-unit */

This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

===Head-unit===

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars originally fitted with the [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-111r/ Alpine CDE-111RM], later replaced by [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-131r/ Alpine CDE-131R](CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

In Car Entertainment - Evora

2013-09-15T14:44:00Z

JimboHJH: /* Head-unit */

This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

===Head-unit===

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars fitted with the [http://www.alpinecaraudioonline.co.uk/products/50/191/alpine_cde-111rm/ Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

[[image:Alpine NVE-M300P.jpg|200px]]

The module feature a mini-USB port which can be used with an adapter and memory stick to update the devices firmware and maps using the Naviextras Toolbox software.

In Car Entertainment - Evora

2013-09-15T14:41:11Z

JimboHJH: /* Sub-Woofer */

This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

==Head-unit==

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars fitted with the [http://www.alpinecaraudioonline.co.uk/products/50/191/alpine_cde-111rm/ Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

====Alpine NVE-M300P====

The Alpine system in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars uses the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/navigation-systems6/nve-m300p Alpine NVE-M300P Navigation Module], which is connected to the headunit to provide satellite navigation.

[[image:Alpine NVE-M300P.jpg|200px]]

The module feature a mini-USB port which can be used with an adapter and memory stick to update the devices firmware and maps using the Naviextras Toolbox software. Full details on how to update these can be found on the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/firmware-map-update/nve-m300prue-m300-firmware-map-update.html Alpine NVE-M300P/RUE-M300 Firmware & Map Update] page.

====Alpine 400BT====

Provides Bluetooth support for the Alpine headunits used in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars.

The firmware for this can be updated using a Bluetooth equipped PC, following the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/bluetooth-firmware-update.html instructions on the Alpine website].

====Alpine PXA-H100====

[http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/processors14/pxa-h100 Alpine 'Imprint'] option, only available on pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars.

Unlike the older Alpine unit the satellite navigation is contained with the F930BT headunit, rather than using an external module. The same GPS aerial is used as in pre-MY12 modules.

==DAB Radio support==

None of the Lotus fitted headunits for the Evora support DAB radio, however DAB radio support can be added using aftermarket devices such as the [[Installing Alpine Ezi-DAB module to add DAB radio | Alpine Ezi-DAB module]].

===Speakers===

The Evora features a total of 4 speakers as standard, all mounted in front of the driver - this is the case regardless of whether the car is equipped with the Tech Pack, however this pack does add higher quality door speakers.

===Main Speakers===

The Evora main speakers are located lower front of the doors.

Standard cars are fitted with the Alpine LUK_SB01B speakers (2×45W High Power Amp, 6.25” coaxial 2-way speakers).

Tech Pack cars are fitted with Alpine LUK_WG01 speakers (2x50W amplifier, 6.25” coaxial 2-way speakers).

Note that the inset figure is the displacement of the wheelrim centreline relative to the wheel/hub mounting face. A positive inset indicates that the wheelrim centreline lies inboard of the wheel mounting face, whereas a negative inset means the wheelrim centreline is outboard of the mounting face.

==Wheel Bolts==

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

==Tyres==

===OE Fitment===

The Evora is supplied as standard with [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/car/genericContent/p_zero Pirelli P-Zero tyres]. The fronts are 225/40 ZR18, the rears are 255/35 ZR19. Pressures as listed in the owners manual are front 33psi, rear 36 psi. This is increased to 40psi and 43psi if the car is heavily loaded. Pirelli produce different compounds for different manufacturers - for the Evora MO compound tyres are used on the front and MO1 for the rear<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351246 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres- is that the Porsche or the Ferrari version]</ref>.

If you opt for the larger diameter Design wheels then tyre sizes are increased to 235/35 R19 for the fronts and 275/30 R20 for the rears, with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa's becoming the standard fitment.

Winter tyres are also available from Lotus in the form of the [http://www2.yokohama-online.com/gb/tyre-products.php?g=151 Yokohama W. Drive] V902 'LTS'. These are 215/40 R18 on the front, 245/35 R19 on the rear and use the same pressures as the standard Pirellis.

===Alternatives===

Yokohama Advan Sport AD08's are also available to fit the Evora. Yokohama's were used during the cars development before switching to Pirelli P-Zeros for production.

The clips which hold down the passenger side airbag lid can sometimes fail, causing the lid to no longer sit flush over the airbag module. These clips are designed to break when the airbag is deployed, and so the failure should not a safety issue and should not affect the operation of the airbag.<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5970707 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Which Evora model is this?]</ref>

These clips can be replaced to remedy the issue, however doing so involves removing some parts of the dash and given the implications of working around the airbag are best carried out by an approved Lotus Service Centre.

===Recaro seat wear===

[[Image:Evora Seat Wear.jpg || thumb || right || 200px || Wear to the side bolster of the drivers seat in an Evora]]
The Evora comes equipped with Recaro Sportster CS seats as standard and there has been a report of these showing signs of wear even early in the cars life<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=303857 SELOC Forums: Evora S - 3 months in]</ref>.

These seats are also used in other cars such as the Mk2 Ford Focus RS where they have exhibited similar issues, suggesting this is a quality control issue for Recaro.

Lotus appear to be willing to replace seats that have shown excessive wear under warranty, however this is not guaranteed.

Others have reported positive results using [http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm Gliptone Liquid Leather Scuffmaster] to dye the seats where they have worn<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=350508 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Seats - Leather not as durable as I thought]</ref>.

==Mechanical==

===Clutch Master Cylinder===

The design of the clutch master cylinder was improved upon for the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_S | Evora S]], and can be retrofitted to the standard model if the original unit fails.

Some have reported rare case of failures of the early style clutch master cylinder leading to a change of clutch pedal feel, and an inability to operate the clutch<ref>[http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=213&t=1272922&nmt= PistonHeads > Gassing Station > Lotus > Evora > Clutch pedal hit the floor...]</ref>.

===Anti-Roll Bar Bushes===

Anti-roll bar (ARB) bushes can dry out and cause knocking noises, particularly the front . Replacing these and properly lubricating them can solve the issue<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=351082 SELOC Chat » Good service from Williams Automobiles on Evora and mods]</ref>.

===Gear Cables===

Some earlier cars were reported to have less than accurate shifting, so the gear shifts were changed in the second half of 2010. However, increasing it's accuracy resulted in reports of some, over time suffering stiff or obstructive gear shifts, making some gears difficult to select.

If customers complain of poor gear shift quality then the cables can be adjusted both at the gearbox and gear linkage ends to improve gear selection, or replaced entirely. This is a 5 hour job as it involves removing parts of the interior.

For MY12 cars the cable set up was changed albeit at a cost to try and improve the consistency of accurate and smooth gear-changes. However, a well set up/adjusted pre MY12 will provide a similar feel.

[http://forums.seloc.org/p/5776122 SELOC Chat » Fobbed off by Lotus]

===Oil lines===

Evora S only.

A recall was made for Evora S' built before September 2011 for a replacement to the three-piece oil feed pipe used to supply oil to the engine cylinder head after there were reports of failures resulting in engine loss and possible engine fires.

The pipe is replaced by a redesigned single piece item.<ref>[http://www.insideline.com/lotus/evora/2011/2011-lotus-evora-recalled-for-fire-risk.html Inside Line - 2011 Lotus Evora Recalled for Fire Risk]</ref>

===Rear Tyre Wear===

Rear tyre wear has been reported to be fairly high on many cars, even when driven conservatively. In general owners have reported rear tyres can need replacing after around 10k miles, while others have seen as little as 5k miles, although this obviously is affected by usage and driving style.

===Transmission Noise===

Some Evoras are reported as having higher than expected transmission noise at low speed in the lower gears, characterised by the sound of 'a rotating component binding on a metal casing'. Some owners have managed to get Lotus to address the issue under warranty, and others report that the noise is down to poor quality throwout bearings in the clutch.

In Car Entertainment - Evora

2013-04-18T17:40:56Z

JimboHJH: /* Sub-Woofer */

This page aims to cover the Evoras In Car Entertainment system, revisions made to it over the course of the models life-cycle, and upgrade options.

It is in it's present state far from conclusive, so please feel free to add or amend details.

==Head-unit==

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars fitted with the [http://www.alpinecaraudioonline.co.uk/products/50/191/alpine_cde-111rm/ Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for it's cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

The Alpine system in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars uses the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/navigation-systems6/nve-m300p Alpine NVE-M300P Navigation Module], which is connected to the headunit to provide satellite navigation.

[[image:Alpine NVE-M300P.jpg|200px]]

==DAB Radio support==

None of the Lotus fitted headunits for the Evora support DAB radio, however DAB radio support can be added using aftermarket devices such as the [[Installing Alpine Ezi-DAB module to add DAB radio | Alpine Ezi-DAB module]].

==Speakers==

The Evora features a total of 4 speakers as standard, all mounted in front of the driver - this is the case regardless of whether the car is equipped with the Tech Pack, however this pack does add higher quality door speakers.

===Main Speakers===

The Evora main speakers are located lower front of the doors.

Standard cars are fitted with the Alpine LUK_SB01B speakers (2×45W High Power Amp, 6.25” coaxial 2-way speakers).

Tech Pack cars are fitted with Alpine LUK_WG01 speakers (2x50W amplifier, 6.25” coaxial 2-way speakers).

Note that the inset figure is the displacement of the wheelrim centreline relative to the wheel/hub mounting face. A positive inset indicates that the wheelrim centreline lies inboard of the wheel mounting face, whereas a negative inset means the wheelrim centreline is outboard of the mounting face.

==Wheel Bolts==

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

Note that the inset figure is the displacement of the wheelrim centreline relative to the wheel/hub mounting face. A positive inset indicates that the wheelrim centreline lies inboard of the wheel mounting face, whereas a negative inset means the wheelrim centreline is outboard of the mounting face.

=Wheel Bolts=

The wheel bolts used are of a special design to suit the small diameter fixing tunnels in the wheel centres. The bolts have an M12 x1.5 thread, 60° conical seat, and a 10 spline socket head for which a special extension tool is supplied with the car.

A 17 mm a/f deep socket and 1/2 inch square drive torque wrench should be applied to the extension tool, with a tightening torque of 105 Nm required.

To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing each wheel is key coded, and requires a correspondingly coded adaptor tool. Fit the adaptor tool onto a 1/2 inch square drive extension, and rotate the adaptor until until full engagement into the bolt head is assured before applying torque. Note that an alignment mark is provided on the coded bolt head and adaptor tool to aid refitting. The spline drive extension and the coded adaptor tool are stowed in the vehicle tool pouch, and should remain with the car at all times to allow servicing or repairs to be performed.

The Part No. for the wheel bolts is A132G6002F.

=Tyres=

The Evora is supplied as standard with [http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/car/genericContent/p_zero Pirelli P-Zero tyres]. The fronts are 225/40 ZR18, the rears are 255/35 ZR19. Pressures as listed in the owners manual are front 33psi, rear 36 psi. This is increased to 40psi and 43psi if the car is heavily loaded.

Evora Buyers Guide

2012-07-14T07:13:52Z

JimboHJH: /* Sport Pack Identification */

This page is designed to serve as a preliminary buyers guide for those interested in the Lotus Evora.

As the Evora is a relatively new car, with all still under warranty at the time of writing, but we'll be adding advice and information over time.

=Running Costs=

==Servicing==

Servicing on the Evora and Evora S is carried out on a 1 year or 9,000 mile basis.

These services vary in price from around £425 up to £699, with alternating Minor and Major services.

You can find the servicing schedule for the Evora on the [[Servicing#Service Schedule 3|Servicing]] page, and get an idea of pricing on the [[Servicing costs | Servicing Costs]] entry.

==Tax Bands==

{| border="1"
|-
! Model !! Emissions (Combined Cycle) !! Tax Band !! 1st Year Tax Rate !! Annual Tax Rate
|-
| '''Evora''' || 205g/km CO2 || K || £580 || £250
|-
| '''Evora Sports Gearbox''' || 217g/km CO2 || K || £580 || £250
|-
| '''Evora IPS''' || 210g/km CO2 || K || £580 || £250
|-
| '''Evora S''' || 229g/km CO2 || L || £790 || £435
|-
| '''Evora S IPS''' || 224g/km CO2 || K || £580 || £250
|-
|}

==Consumables==

These prices are for parts only, including VAT but exclude delivery and fitting.

Many of the consumables for the Evora such as oil and air filters are Toyota parts, and so are quite reasonably priced. Be aware however that if the car is equipped with the 19" front and 20" rear wheels the OE fitment Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres are considerably more expensive than the regular Pirelli P Zero's fitted as standard to 18" front and 19" rear wheel combinations. Rear tyre wear has also been reported to be somewhat higher than expected with the standard tyres, so it is not uncommon for owners to try alterative brands.

=Buyers Checklist=

==Engine==

The [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Evora]] and [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Evora S]] both use variants of the [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine]] in combination with Lotus's own T6e engine management system.

This delivers 276bhp in the Evora, and 345bhp in the Evora S thanks to the addition of a supercharger.

At present there is little of note about this engine in terms of reliability - it's a well proven unit used across a range of different Toyota vehicles - however if possible when buying its worth getting a dealer to perform a read out of the engine ECU which will record any instances of the engine being over-revved which can occur if a driver has made an early downshift. If this has occurred it can cause damage to the engine, and if severe enough may impact on warranty claims if its suspected to be the cause of a failure.

==Transmission==

The Evora has a range of gearbox options in the form of the standard 6-speed manual, optional Close Ratio 'Sport' gearbox, and IPS automatic. The Evora S gets the Sport ratios as standard, and as of MY12 was also offered with the IPS gearbox.

While early Evora '[[Models - Evora#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]]' cars were fully loaded in terms of options, very few came with the close ratio gearbox.

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared in the higher gears (1st and 2nd are identical in both gear sets), but offers improved fuel economy and may be an advantage if the car is to see regular motorway use.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car. The updated gear linkages can be fitted to earlier cars, and in some cases where cars have suffered from poor shift quality have been fitted under warranty - it is well worth asking about this when buying a car, particularly if it's from a dealership.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.

For more information on the Evora gearbox see our [[Gear Ratios - Evora|separate Wiki page]].

==Suspension and Brakes==

Unlike the Elise and its derivatives, the Evora makes use of forged aluminium for the suspension wishbones in an effort to reduce unsprung weight. Dampers are provided by Bilstein and fitted with Eibach springs. So far the long-term durability of the Evora's dampers is an unknown quality.

The brake discs, calipers and pads are provided by AP Racing, with 4-pot calipers both front and rear. Cross drilled brake discs are an optional extra as part of the Sport Pack along with black painted calipers (Red for post MY12 models, black becoming a no cost option).

==Bodywork==

Unlike the Elise and Exige, the Evora features front and rear bumpers which are separate to the main clamshells. This means that in the event of a minor accident the bumpers can be replaced separately, hopefully leading to lower costs and shorter lead times on parts.

Fibreglass cars can be susceptible to paint blisters and bubbling. So far however this has not been reported on the Evora.

==Interior and Electrics==

The interior quality is one of the main areas that came in for criticism when the Evora was first launched, and has gradually been improved through the models life. There is no hard and fast rule as to when major changes were made, but generally the later the car the better the interior build quality.

The main issue to look out for here is that space in the rear seats is somewhat limited, so if they're likely to be in regular use take someone with you when looking at the car and make sure they can fit in behind the drivers seat. There are some known interior quality issues, including [[Common Issues - Evora#Recaro seat wear|premature wear to the front seat bolsters]].

=Options=

==Seating configurations==
The Evora is available in both 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations. The 2+2 is the most common configuration and features a pair of cloth or leather rear seats, where as the 2+0 comes equipped with a rear storage shelf and a small aluminium divider with net to stop items shuffling around.

|-
|}

==Tech Pack Identification==

Cars with the Tech Pack fitted can easily be identified by the double DIN stereo and Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel. 
Both the standard and Tech Pack stereos are Alpine units. Standard cars get the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/cd-head-units/cde-111r.html Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard CD headunit, while Tech Pack cars are fitted with the touch-screen [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/mobile-media-stations/iva-w505r.html IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA).

Tech Pack equipped cars can also be fitted with the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/processors/pxa-h100.html Alpine 'IMPRINT' PXA-H100 processor], which aims to compensate for the acoustics of an in-car environment to improve sound quality.

|-
|}

==Premium Pack Identification==

Cars fitted with the Premium Pack gain a number of interior features that make it easily distinguishable.

Unless the Premium Pack is specified the only interior leather colour available is Black. The Premium Pack adds to this the option of Oyster, Cocobolo or Paprika leather, while the Premium Pack in Suedetex released in 2011 comes with Anthracite Suedetex.

The Premium Pack also adds leather various surfaces, accent lighting in the cabin, heated front seats, a leather arm rest, and a boot cargo net.

|-
| [[Image:Configurator without Premium Pack.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Without Premium Pack]] || [[Image:Configurator with Premium Pack.jpg|thumb|center|300px|With Premium Pack]]
|-
|}

==Sport Pack Identification==

The Sport Pack is an optional extra on the standard Evora, but comes as standard on the Evora S. With the Evora IPS the pack is still optional but the Sport Mode button is included as standard to select the Sport gearbox setting and sharpen the cars throttle response.

Other identifying features for Sport Pack cars are the Sports Diffuser(3 piece),Cross-Drilled Brake Discs, Black Painted Brake Calipers (Red for MY12 onwards) and twin Titanium Exhaust Tailpipes. The standard Evora gets twin Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipes. The Evora S comes with a single Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipe as standard.

|-
|}

==Other options==

=Pricing=

Due to being a relatively new model, it is rare to see Evora's available from private sellers, with most coming on to the market via dealerships and specialist traders.

Evora pricing ranges from around £35,000 for early 2009 cars, up to £70,000 for a high-spec unregistered Evora S.

The last recorded state of the Evora market is as follows:

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared in the higher gears (1st and 2nd are identical in both gear sets), but offers improved fuel economy and may be an advantage if the car is to see regular motorway use.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car. The updated gear linkages can be fitted to earlier cars, and in some cases where cars have suffered from poor shift quality have been fitted under warranty - it is well worth asking about this when buying a car, particularly if it's from a dealership.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.

For more information on the Evora gearbox see our [[Gear Ratios - Evora|separate Wiki page]].

==Suspension and Brakes==

Unlike the Elise and its derivatives, the Evora makes use of forged aluminium for the suspension wishbones in an effort to reduce unsprung weight. Dampers are provided by Bilstein and fitted with Eibach springs. So far the long-term durability of the Evora's dampers is an unknown quality.

The brake discs, calipers and pads are provided by AP Racing, with 4-pot calipers both front and rear. Cross drilled brake discs are an optional extra as part of the Sport Pack along with black painted calipers (Red for post MY12 models, black becoming a no cost option).

==Bodywork==

Unlike the Elise and Exige, the Evora features front and rear bumpers which are separate to the main clamshells. This means that in the event of a minor accident the bumpers can be replaced separately, hopefully leading to lower costs and shorter lead times on parts.

Fibreglass cars can be susceptible to paint blisters and bubbling. So far however this has not been reported on the Evora.

==Interior and Electrics==

The interior quality is one of the main areas that came in for criticism when the Evora was first launched, and has gradually been improved through the models life. There is no hard and fast rule as to when major changes were made, but generally the later the car the better the interior build quality.

The main issue to look out for here is that space in the rear seats is somewhat limited, so if they're likely to be in regular use take someone with you when looking at the car and make sure they can fit in behind the drivers seat. There are some known interior quality issues, including [[Common Issues - Evora#Recaro seat wear|premature wear to the front seat bolsters]].

=Options=

==Seating configurations==
The Evora is available in both 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations. The 2+2 is the most common configuration and features a pair of cloth or leather rear seats, where as the 2+0 comes equipped with a rear storage shelf and a small aluminium divider with net to stop items shuffling around.

==Tech Pack Identification==

Cars with the Tech Pack fitted can easily be identified by the double DIN stereo and Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel. 
Both the standard and Tech Pack stereos are Alpine units. Standard cars get the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/cd-head-units/cde-111r.html Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard CD headunit, while Tech Pack cars are fitted with the touch-screen [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/mobile-media-stations/iva-w505r.html IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA).

Tech Pack equipped cars can also be fitted with the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/processors/pxa-h100.html Alpine 'IMPRINT' PXA-H100 processor], which aims to compensate for the acoustics of an in-car environment to improve sound quality.

|-
|}

==Premium Pack Identification==

Cars fitted with the Premium Pack gain a number of interior features that make it easily distinguishable.

Unless the Premium Pack is specified the only interior leather colour available is Black. The Premium Pack adds to this the option of Oyster, Cocobolo or Paprika leather, while the Premium Pack in Suedetex released in 2011 comes with Anthracite Suedetex.

The Premium Pack also adds leather various surfaces, accent lighting in the cabin, heated front seats, a leather arm rest, and a boot cargo net.

==Sport Pack Identification==

The Sport Pack is an optional extra on the standard Evora, but comes as standard on the Evora S. With the Evora IPS the pack is still optional but the Sport Mode button is included as standard to select the Sport gearbox setting and sharpen the cars throttle response.

Other identifying features for Sport Pack cars are the Sports Diffuser(3 piece),Cross-Drilled Brake Discs, Black Painted Brake Calipers (Red for MY12 onwards) and twin Titanium Exhaust Tailpipes. The standard Evora gets a twin Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipes. The Evora S comes with a single Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipe as standard.

==Other options==

=Pricing=

Due to being a relatively new model, it is rare to see Evora's available from private sellers, with most coming on to the market via dealerships and specialist traders.

Evora pricing ranges from around £35,000 for early 2009 cars, up to £70,000 for a high-spec unregistered Evora S.

The last recorded state of the Evora market is as follows:

Known Issues - Evora

2012-07-14T07:06:09Z

JimboHJH: /* Gear Cables */

==Common Issues==

Please fill this entry with common issues that are occurring with the Lotus Evora.

===Gear Cables===

See forum threads: 
http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=338898 
http://forums.seloc.org/p/5776122

Some earlier cars were reported to have less than accurate shifting, so the gear shifts were changed in the second half of 2010. However, increasing it's accuracy resulted in reports of some, over time suffering stiff or obstructive gear shifts, making some gears difficult to select.

If customers complain of poor gear shift quality then the cables can be adjusted both at the gearbox and gear linkage ends to improve gear selection, or replaced entirely. This is a 5 hour job as it involves removing parts of the interior.

For MY12 cars the cable set up was changed albeit at a cost to try and improve the consistancy of accurate and smooth gearchanges. However, a well set up/adjusted pre MY12 will provide a similar feel.

===Transmission Noise===

Some Evoras are reported as having higher than expected transmission noise at low speed in the lower gears, characterised by the sound of 'a rotating component binding on a metal casing'. Some owners have managed to get Lotus to address the issue under warranty, and others report that the noise is down to poor quality throwout bearings in the clutch.

http://forums.seloc.org/p/5767842
http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f170/supercharging-my-na-evora-116587/index4.html#post1758551

===Interior Build Quality===

Some reports of poor build quality on the interior, particularly in early cars.

===Recaro seat wear===

The Evora comes equipped with Recaro Sportster CS seats as standard and there has been a report of these showing signs of wear even early in the cars life.[[#ref1|1]]

[[Image:Evora Seat Wear.jpg]]

These seats are also used in other cars such as the Mk2 Ford Focus RS where they have exhibited similar issues, suggesting this is a quality control issue for Recaro.

Lotus appear to be willing to replace seats that have shown excessive wear under warranty.

===Rear Tyre Wear===

Rear tyre wear has been reported to be fairly high on many cars, even when driven conservatively. In general owners have reported rear tyres can need replacing after around 10k miles, although this obviously is affected by usage and driving style.

Evora Buyers Guide

2012-01-29T10:21:51Z

JimboHJH: /* Sport Pack Identification */

This page is designed to serve as a preliminary buyers guide for those interested in the Lotus Evora.

As the Evora is a relatively new car, with all still under warranty at the time of writing, but we'll be adding advice and information over time.

=Running Costs=

==Servicing==

Servicing on the Evora and Evora S is carried out on a 1 year or 9,000 mile basis.

These services vary in price from around £425 up to £699, with alternating Minor and Major services.

You can find the servicing schedule for the Evora on the [[Servicing#Service Schedule 3|Servicing]] page, and get an idea of pricing on the [[Servicing costs | Servicing Costs]] entry.

==Tax Bands==

{| border="1"

|-
| '''Evora S IPS''' || 224g/km CO2 || K || £580 || £250
|-
|}

==Consumables==

These prices are for parts only, including VAT but exclude delivery and fitting.

Many of the consumables for the Evora such as oil and air filters are Toyota parts, and so are quite reasonably priced. Be aware however that if the car is equipped with the 19" front and 20" rear wheels the OE fitment Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres are considerably more expensive than the regular Pirelli P Zero's fitted as standard to 18" front and 19" rear wheel combinations. Rear tyre wear has also been reported to be somewhat higher than expected with the standard tyres, so it is not uncommon for owners to try alterative brands.

=Buyers Checklist=

==Engine==

The [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Evora]] and [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Evora S]] both use variants of the [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine]] in combination with Lotus's own T6e engine management system.

This delivers 276bhp in the Evora, and 345bhp in the Evora S thanks to the addition of a supercharger.

At present there is little of note about this engine in terms of reliability - it's a well proven unit used across a range of different Toyota vehicles - however if possible when buying its worth getting a dealer to perform a read out of the engine ECU which will record any instances of the engine being over-revved which can occur if a driver has made an early downshift. If this has occurred it can cause damage to the engine, and if severe enough may impact on warranty claims if its suspected to be the cause of a failure.

==Transmission==

The Evora has a range of gearbox options in the form of the standard 6-speed manual, optional Close Ratio 'Sport' gearbox, and IPS automatic. The Evora S gets the Sport ratios as standard, but is not yet available with the IPS gearbox. While early Evora '[[Models - Evora#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]]' cars were fully loaded in terms of options, very few came with the close ratio gearbox.

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared, but reduces emissions on the standard Evora compared to the Sport option. This affects Road Tax bands, with the standard gearbox MY2011 Evora's fall in to Band J - early cars produced 205g/km CO2 and are in Band K - where as the Sports ratio option puts even later cars in Band K.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.

For more information on the Evora gearbox see our [[Gear Ratios - Evora|separate Wiki page]].

==Suspension and Brakes==

Unlike the Elise and its derivatives, the Evora makes use of forged aluminium for the suspension wishbones in an effort to reduce unsprung weight. Dampers are provided by Bilstein and fitted with Eibach springs. So far the long-term durability of the Evora's dampers is an unknown quality.

The brake discs, calipers and pads are provided by AP Racing, with 4-pot calipers both front and rear. Cross drilled brake discs are an optional extra as part of the Sport Pack along with black painted calipers.

==Bodywork==

Unlike the Elise and Exige, the Evora features front and rear bumpers which are separate to the main clamshells. This means that in the event of a minor accident the bumpers can be replaced separately, hopefully leading to lower costs and shorter lead times on parts.

=Buyers Checklist=

==Engine==

The [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Evora]] and [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Evora S]] both use variants of the [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine]] in combination with Lotus's own T6e engine management system.

This delivers 276bhp in the Evora, and 345bhp in the Evora S thanks to the addition of a supercharger.

At present there is little of note about this engine in terms of reliability - it's a well proven unit used across a range of different Toyota vehicles - however if possible when buying its worth getting a dealer to perform a read out of the engine ECU which will record any instances of the engine being over-revved which can occur if a driver has made an early downshift. If this has occurred it can cause damage to the engine, and if severe enough may impact on warranty claims if its suspected to be the cause of a failure.

==Transmission==

The Evora has a range of gearbox options in the form of the standard 6-speed manual, optional Close Ratio 'Sport' gearbox, and IPS automatic. The Evora S gets the Sport ratios as standard, but is not yet available with the IPS gearbox. While early Evora '[[Models - Evora#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]]' cars were fully loaded in terms of options, very few came with the close ratio gearbox.

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared, but reduces emissions on the standard Evora compared to the Sport option. This affects Road Tax bands, with the standard gearbox MY2011 Evora's fall in to Band J - early cars produced 205g/km CO2 and are in Band K - where as the Sports ratio option puts even later cars in Band K.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.

For more information on the Evora gearbox see our [[Gear Ratios - Evora|separate Wiki page]].

==Suspension and Brakes==

Unlike the Elise and its derivatives, the Evora makes use of forged aluminium for the suspension wishbones in an effort to reduce unsprung weight. Dampers are provided by Bilstein and fitted with Eibach springs. So far the long-term durability of the Evora's dampers is an unknown quality.

The brake discs, calipers and pads are provided by AP Racing, with 4-pot calipers both front and rear. Cross drilled brake discs are an optional extra as part of the Sport Pack along with black painted calipers.

==Bodywork==

Unlike the Elise and Exige, the Evora features front and rear bumpers which are separate to the main clamshells. This means that in the event of a minor accident the bumpers can be replaced separately, hopefully leading to lower costs and shorter lead times on parts.

Fibreglass cars can be susceptible to paint blisters and bubbling. So far however this has not been reported on the Evora.

==Interior and Electrics==

The interior quality is one of the main areas that came in for criticism when the Evora was first launched, and has gradually been improved through the models life. There is no hard and fast rule as to when major changes were made, but generally the later the car the better the interior build quality.

The main issue to look out for here is that space in the rear seats is somewhat limited, so if they're likely to be in regular use take someone with you when looking at the car and make sure they can fit in behind the drivers seat. There are some known interior quality issues, including [[Common Issues - Evora#Recaro seat wear|premature wear to the front seat bolsters]].

=Options=

==Seating configurations==
The Evora is available in both 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations. The 2+2 is the most common configuration and features a pair of cloth or leather rear seats, where as the 2+0 comes equipped with a rear storage shelf and a small aluminium divider with net to stop items shuffling around.

|-
|}

==Tech Pack Identification==

Cars with the Tech Pack fitted can easily be identified by the double DIN stereo and Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel. 
Both the standard and Tech Pack stereos are Alpine units. Standard cars get the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/cd-head-units/cde-111r.html Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard CD headunit, while Tech Pack cars are fitted with the touch-screen [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/mobile-media-stations/iva-w505r.html IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA).

Tech Pack equipped cars can also be fitted with the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/processors/pxa-h100.html Alpine 'IMPRINT' PXA-H100 processor], which aims to compensate for the acoustics of an in-car environment to improve sound quality.

|-
|}

==Premium Pack Identification==

Cars fitted with the Premium Pack gain a number of interior features that make it easily distinguishable.

Unless the Premium Pack is specified the only interior leather colour available is Black. The Premium Pack adds to this the option of Oyster, Cocobolo or Paprika leather, while the Premium Pack in Suedetex released in 2011 comes with Anthracite Suedetex.

The Premium Pack also adds leather various surfaces, accent lighting in the cabin, heated front seats, a leather arm rest, and a boot cargo net.

|-
|}

==Sport Pack Identification==

The Sport Pack is an optional extra on the standard Evora, but comes as standard on the Evora S. With the Evora IPS the pack is still optional but the Sport Mode button is included as standard to select the Sport gearbox setting and sharpen the cars throttle response.

Other identifying features for Sport Pack cars are the Sports Diffuser(3 piece),Cross-Drilled Brake Discs, Black Painted Brake Calipers and twin Titanium Exhaust Tailpipes. The standard Evora gets a twin Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipes. The Evora S comes with a single Stainless Steel Exhaust Tailpipe as standard.

|-
|}

==Other options==

=Pricing=

Due to being a relatively new model, it is rare to see Evora's available from private sellers, with most coming on to the market via dealerships and specialist traders.

Evora pricing ranges from around £35,000 for early 2009 cars, up to £70,000 for a high-spec unregistered Evora S.

The last recorded state of the Evora market is as follows:

Models - Evora

2011-09-01T11:36:36Z

JimboHJH: /* Evora GTE Road Concept */

=Pre-launch=

Known as Project Eagle during its development the Evora is Lotus's first ever mid-engined 2+2, although the default configuration is actually the "+0", with the rear seats an optional extra.

[[Image:Evora-cad.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Lotus Evora CAD shot showing the 2+2 layout]]

In the run up to it's launch Lotus carried out a promotion campaign promising "True Character in a Faceless World", which included people with blank face masks appearing at Wimbledon, the Henley regatta and Elton John's white tie and tiara ball.[[#ref1|1]]

[[Image:Evora-faceless.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Lotus 'Faceless People' spectating at Wimbledon]]

This promotion lead to the website http://www.facelesspeople.com, which featured nothing but a countdown to the cars launch and a link back to the Group Lotus website. Since the launch this site has been removed and is no longer available.

The unveiling of the Evora on the 22nd of July at the 2008 British International Motor Show[[#ref2|2]] marked Lotus's first all-new car since the Elise in 1995. Although Lotus had produced models such as the Exige, Series 2 Elise and Europa in the interim period these were still fundamentally based on the original Elise platform.

As with the 'Federal' Elise the Lotus Evora was designed with international sales in mind, in particular the lucrative US market. This was deemed vital to help Lotus reach a wider audience of more affluent buyers, with the Evora looking to compete against a far wider range of cars than the Elise's niche appeal.

Parallels could certainly be drawn between the Evora launch and that of the original Elite and Esprit, with Lotus looking to produce cars that would push up market and could command higher pricing and, hopefully, profit margins...

[[Image:Lotus-Evora-1.jpg|center|thumb|400px|The Lotus Evora at the 2008 British International Motor Show]]

At the launch Lotus where bullish, talking of how the car had been developed in just 18 monthsCitation needed, and of projected sales figure of around 2,000 cars per year worldwide.

=Platform Architecture=

As with the Lotus Elise the Evora chassis is formed from bonded aluminium extrusions, a technique which Lotus pioneered with the Elise.

Unlike the Elise however the Evora chassis based around Lotus's VVA chassis architecture.[[#ref3|3]]

This is built is made up of three separate sections, the central tub, the front and rear, which are then joined together (bolted?) to form the completed chassis.[[#ref2|2]]

[[Image:VVA Platform.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Lotus VVA Platform in 3 parts]]

This not only eases repairs - in the Elise if the suspension pick points are damaged in a crash the whole chassis will often be written off, where as with the Evora the damaged section can be removed and replaced - but also saves time in the cars construction, with the sections able be built simultaneously before being joined together once all three are completed.

This approach could also ease future developments where, for example, a new power train was to be utilised which necessitates a change to the rear of the car. In this case production of the front and centre sections could be carried out as per normal with rear sections being attached to meet demand and/or build schedules when the chassis was completed.

=Evora Models=

At present all models of the Lotus Evora share the same coupe body shape and are all powered by derivatives of the Toyota 2GR-FE V6 engine.

Early cars, particularly the Launch Edition models, have been noted as having some interior build quality issues, but these have been steadily improved.

==Evora==

After its unveiling in July 2008, the first customer Evora was sold to Matthew Melling, a customer of Stratton Motor Company, in September 2009.[[#ref4|4]]

The initial run of 450 cars delivered were all the [[#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]] models, which were produced to a fixed specification to ease the initial production process.

After this regular production began, with both the Evora 2+0 and 2+2 available with a range of [[Pricing and Upgrades (2011)#Vehicle_Options_4|option]] and [[Pricing and Upgrades (2011)#Vehicle_Options_3|upgrade packs]].

===Launch Edition===

The Evora Launch Edition made up the first 450 (200 destined for the UK) production Evora's. They were all built to the same specification, allowing Lotus to bring the production line up without having to worry about the various different permutations possible with customised cars.

All Launch Editions came equipped with 2+2 seating, Tech Pack, Premium Pack, Sport Pack, Hi-power silver cast alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Alpine Imprint Audio System, Reversing Camera, Electric Powerfold Mirrors and a numbered plaque. The Sport Ratio gearbox was not an option on Launch Edition cars, with the only options being the cars paint and possibly interior trim.[[#ref5|5]]

The Evora Launch Edition was priced at £58,460, with [[Paint Colours - Evora#Metallic Colours|Metallic]], [[Paint Colours - Evora#Lifestyle Colours|Lifestyle]] and [[Paint Colours - Evora#Premium Colours|Premium]] paint colours as cost options.

===Naomi for Haiti===

Following the [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8455629.stm earthquake that struck Haiti] in 2010, Lotus donated eight special edition Evora's to be auctioned off at Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show, held at Somerset House on February 18th, during London Fashion Week.

The "Naomi for Haiti" cars were based off the standard Evora, and featured a unique livery designed by Lotus Design Director, Donato Coco, which "reflects Naomi’s
design direction.".

[[Image:Evora Haiti.jpg|center|thumb|400px|The Lotus Evora Naomi for Haiti]]

The cars raised over €1.4 million towards relief efforts[[#ref6|6]], with the first 2 cars selling for over £300,000 each.

===Press reception===

The Evora launched to positive reception from the press, with 5-star reviews in Evo[[#ref7|7]] and Car[[#ref8|8]] magazines.

Reviews praised the Evora's ride and handling, but raised some concerns as to whether the build quality was up to the level of its rivals.
"It has proved to be a really usable GT car, yet it has also played the junior supercar role in a way I hadn’t expected. It still hasn’t got the feeling of solidity that Porsche imbues in its cars, but as a package the Evora has a lot of similarities with the multi-talented 911."

==Evora S==

Officially unveiled at the Paris Motor Show on September 30th 2010 alongside the Evora IPS. It's launch was somewhat overshadowed however as Lotus chose the same event to unveil this 'New Era' range of concept cars, prompting concerns that the Evora would quickly be replaced by the new Elan. These concerns were later allayed with the Elan later scheduled for 2017 and Lotus committing to continuing the evolution of the Evora range.

[[image:Evora S and IPS Launch.jpg|center|thumb|400px|The Evora S and IPS are launched at the Paris Motor Show 2010]]

The most obvious enhancement from the base Evora is the addition of an [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Eaton Roots-type Twin-Vortices supercharger]] helping the Evora S produce 345bhp, but the Evora S also receives the Sport Pack, cross drilled brakes and Stealth Grey Classic Wheels as standard, along with revisions made to areas such as the gear shift linkage.

===Evora S Gumball===

A one off car created by Lotus for the 2011 Gumball Rally 3000 and driven by Tamer Hassan.

Based on the standard Evora S the Gumball car was enhanced with a range of cosmetic and mechanical changes borrowed from the Evora GT4 race car. These included the full GT4 aero package of front and rear bumpers, front diffuser, rear splitter and wing, air intake, barge board and grills, along with the GT4 exhaust, wheels, 4-way adjustable Ohlin dampers, stiffer Eibach Race springs, and a 30mm lower ride height - although road tyres were retained to keep the car road legal.

[[image:Evora S Gumball.jpg|center|thumb|400px|Evora S Gumball on the 2011 Gumball Rally 3000 ]]

==Evora IPS==

Launched alongside the Evora S at the Paris Motor Show on September 30th 2010, the Evora IPS[[#ref12|12]] paired the normally aspirated [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Toyota 2GR-FE]] engine with the [[Gear_Ratios_-_Evora#Automatic_gearbox_information|Toyota U660E gearbox]].

[[image:Evora IPS Press Shot.jpg|center|thumb|400px|Evora IPS Press Shot]]

The Toyota U660E gearbox is a traditional torque-converter automatic gearbox, and unlike the manual is only available with the standard Toyota specification [[Gear Ratios - Evora#Gear Ratios|gear ratios]]. This is paired with Lotus's own electronics to give the gearbox a more sporting feel.

Inside the car sees the removal of the tradition gearstick, replaced with a panel for switching between Reverse, Neutral, Drive and Park, along with the Sport button. Paddles are fitted behind the steering wheel, with left paddle changing down and the right changing up. In the instrument binnacle the small LCD used to show the fuel level is re-purposed to show the current gear selection and mode. In the foot-well, as you'd expect, there are only two pedals.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"

| [[Image:Evora IPS Gear Display.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Evora IPS Gear Display]] || [[Image:Evora IPS Pedals.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Evora IPS Pedals]]
|-
|}

Sport mode in the Evora IPS changes the way the gearbox reacts, both in terms of the chosen gear and the amount of time the car will remain in Manual mode after a paddle has been used. It does not however increase the rev limit due to the limitations of most torque converter automatic gearboxes.

==Concept Cars==

===Evora 414E Hybrid===

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in September 2010, the Evora 414E Hybrid[[#ref13|13]] serves as a practical demonstration of the flexibility of Lotus's VVA platform and replaces the Evora's Toyota sourced engine with a Hybrid petrol-electic drivetrain.

[[image:Evora_414E_Hybrid.jpg|center|thumb|400px|Evora 414E Hybrid]]

Unlike many traditional hybrids the petrol engine does not drive the wheels, instead the Lotus Range Extender (1.2l, three-cylinder, 47hp) is used in conjunction with other energy recovery techniques to provide a total range of up to 300 miles.

To increase driver involvement the Lotus developed HALOsonic Internal and External Sound Synthesis system is used to simulate the noise of a conventional petrol driven car, provide aural feedback to the driver as well as an audible warning for pedestrians which is often missing from hybrid cars running on battery power.

[[image:Evora 414E Hybrid Engine Bay.jpg|center|thumb|400px|Evora 414E Hybrid Engine Bay]]

The interior and exterior are both styled to reflect the battery powered nature of the car, with the copper colour resembling that of a battery, while the roof and engine cover are made of glass with electrical contact detailing. While the basic interior layout remains the same as that of the standard Evora the rear seats are removed to make way for the battery packs.

[[image:Evora 414E Hybrid Interior.jpg|center|thumb|400px|Evora 414E Hybrid Interior]]

===Evora Carbon Concept===

Shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show alongside the Evora 414E Hybrid, the Evora Carbon Concept left the car mechanically unaltered, while subtly enhancing its appearance both inside and out.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
|-
| [[Image:Evora Carbon Concept Front.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Evora Carbon Concept Front]] || [[Image:Evora Carbon Concept Rear.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Evora Carbon Concept Rear]]
|-
|}

On the outside the Evora Carbon Concept features a pearlescent white paint job along with contrasting carbon fibre roof, diffuser and splitter. The ride height is lowered, while 19" diamond cut forged wheels are fitted both front and rear. Tyres are Pirelli P-Zero Corsa's, sized 235/35/19 on the front and 285/30/19 at the rear.

Inside the interior is fitted with carbon panels, perforated leather and matt alcantara.

Donato Coco, Director of Lotus Design described the car, "The design of the Evora Carbon Concept car features exotic, high tech materials that offer a good synergy with the Lotus brand image, expressing our motorsport heritage and history of stylish sports cars for which Lotus are renowned."[[#ref14|14]]

===Evora by Mansory===

The Evora by Mansory was shown at the Geneva Motor Show 2011 as a demonstration of the potential Lotus Bespoke range.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
|-
| [[Image:Mansory Evora Concept Front.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Mansory Evora Concept Front]] || [[Image:Mansory Evora Concept Rear.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Mansory Evora Concept Rear]]
|-
|}

Developed in conjunction with the aftermarket tuning company [http://www.mansory.com/ Mansory], the Evora by Mansory built on the themes first shown in the [[Models - Evora#Evora Carbon Concept|Carbon Concept]], with pearlescent white paint, a carbon fibre roof, splitter, diffuser and sills, and added restyled front and rear bumpers, a carbon fibre rear spoiler with additional element beneath the wing, and some other small carbon fibre detailing.

Commenting on the car in Geneva, CEO Dany Bahar said: ”I think our collaboration with Mansory really showcases the aesthetic potential of the car too, the only limit is your imagination.

===Evora GTE Road Concept===

The Evora GTE Road Concept was shown at the Pebble Beach Show in August 2011 along with the Exige Matt Black Edition as part of the yearly Concours D’Elegance event.[[#ref15|15]]

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"
|-
| [[Image:Evora GTE Road Concept Front.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Evora GTE Road Concept Front]] || [[Image:Evora GTE Road Concept Rear.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Lotus Evora GTE Road Concept Rear]]
|-
|}

The Evora GTE Road Car Concept takes inspiration, if not actual mechanicals, for the range of Evora race cars, while also building themes seen in previous [[Models - Evora#Concept Cars|Evora concept cars]] such as the [[Models - Evora#Evora Carbon Concept|Evora Carbon Concept]] and [[Models - Evora#Evora by Mansory|Evora by Mansory]].

The Evora GTE's lowered suspension and wider bodywork helps give it a more purposeful stance, while the front bumper — an evolution of those first seen on the [[Models - Evora#Evora by Mansory|Evora by Mansory]] - helps both add an element of air of aggression that many feel is missing from the current Evora range and a visual link to the "New Era" range of cars shown by Lotus at Paris 2010.

The Mansory link is strengthened with a badge on the cars new rear spoiler—the only aspect of the design to have seen much in the way of criticism.
The GTE will go into limited production in 2011, being sold first in China and then opened up to the rest of the world if enough demand is shown.

=Buyers Checklist=

==Engine==

The [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora|Evora]] and [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine#Evora S|Evora S]] both use variants of the [[Toyota 2GR-FE engine]] in combination with Lotus's own T6e engine management system.

This delivers 276bhp in the Evora, and 345bhp in the Evora S thanks to the addition of a supercharger.

At present there is little of note about this engine in terms of reliability - it's a well proven unit used across a range of different Toyota vehicles - however if possible when buying its worth getting a dealer to perform a read out of the engine ECU which will record any instances of the engine being over-revved which can occur if a driver has made an early downshift. If this has occurred it can cause damage to the engine, and if severe enough may impact on warranty claims if its suspected to be the cause of a failure.

==Transmission==

The Evora has a range of gearbox options in the form of the standard 6-speed manual, optional Close Ratio 'Sport' gearbox, and IPS automatic. The Evora S gets the Sport ratios as standard, but is not yet available with the IPS gearbox. While early Evora '[[Models - Evora#Launch Edition|Launch Edition]]' cars were fully loaded in terms of options, very few came with the close ratio gearbox.

The standard ratio box is somewhat long geared, but reduces emissions on the standard Evora compared to the Sport option. This affects Road Tax bands, with the standard gearbox MY2011 Evora's fall in to Band J - early cars produced 205g/km CO2 and are in Band K - where as the Sports ratio option puts even later cars in Band K.

One of the main criticisms in early Evora reviews was that of the poor gear linkage used by the manual gearbox. Improvements to this were reported have been made during the cars post-launch updates, possibly coinciding with the launch of the Evora S, so shift quality may vary depending on the age of the car.

There are currently no known major issues with the Evora's transmission, however there have been reports of unexplained noise from the cars drivetrain. Dealers have been known to dismiss this as 'within acceptable limits', and the cause is currently unknown.

For more information on the Evora gearbox see our [[Gear Ratios - Evora|separate Wiki page]].

==Suspension and Brakes==

Unlike the Elise and its derivatives, the Evora makes use of forged aluminium for the suspension wishbones in an effort to reduce unsprung weight. Dampers are provided by Bilstein and fitted with Eibach springs. So far the long-term durability of the Evora's dampers is an unknown quality.

The brake discs, calipers and pads are provided by AP Racing, with 4-pot calipers both front and rear. Cross drilled brake discs are an optional extra as part of the Sport Pack along with black painted calipers.

==Bodywork==

Unlike the Elise and Exige, the Evora features front and rear bumpers which are separate to the main clamshells. This means that in the event of a minor accident the bumpers can be replaced separately, hopefully leading to lower costs and shorter lead times on parts.

Fibreglass cars can be susceptible to paint blisters and bubbling. So far however this has not been reported on the Evora.

==Interior and Electrics==

The interior quality is one of the main areas that came in for criticism when the Evora was first launched, and has gradually been improved through the models life. There is no hard and fast rule as to when major changes were made, but generally the later the car the better the interior build quality.

The main issue to look out for here is that space in the rear seats is somewhat limited, so if they're likely to be in regular use take someone with you when looking at the car and make sure they can fit in behind the drivers seat. There are some known interior quality issues, including [[Common Issues - Evora#Recaro seat wear|premature wear to the front seat bolsters]].

=Options=

==Seating configurations==
The Evora is available in both 2+0 and 2+2 seating configurations. The 2+2 is the most common configuration and features a pair of leather rear seats, where as the 2+0 comes equipped with a rear storage shelf and a small net to stop items shuffling around.

==Tech Pack Identification==

Cars with the Tech Pack fitted can easily be identified by the double DIN stereo and Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel. 
Both the standard and Tech Pack stereos are Alpine units. Standard cars get the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/cd-head-units/cde-111r.html Alpine CDE-111RM] (CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard CD headunit, while Tech Pack cars are fitted with the touch-screen [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/mobile-media-stations/iva-w505r.html IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA).

Tech Pack equipped cars can also be fitted with the [http://www.alpine-electronics.co.uk/products/product-singleview/processors/pxa-h100.html Alpine 'IMPRINT' PXA-H100 processor], which aims to compensate for the acoustics of an in-car environment to improve sound quality.

==Premium Pack Identification==

Cars fitted with the Premium Pack gain a number of interior features that make it easily distinguishable.

Unless the Premium Pack is specified the only interior leather colour available is Black. The Premium Pack adds to this the option of Oyster, Cocobolo or Paprika leather, while the Premium Pack in Suedetex released in 2011 comes with Anthracite Suedetex.

The Premium Pack also adds leather various surfaces, accent lighting in the cabin, heated front seats, a leather arm rest, and a boot cargo net.
