===Evora GTE===

[[image:Evora GTE Road Car - Hethel Pit Lane.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Evora GTE Road Car in the Hethel Pit Lane]]Despite sharing it's name with the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_GTE_2|Evora GTE Race Car]] the Evora GTE Road Cars drivetrain is a modified version of the [[Toyota_engines#Evora_S.2FExige_S|supercharged 2GR-FE]] seen in the [[Models_-_Evora#Evora_S|Evora S]] rather than the 4-litre Toyota Cosworth engine used in the race cars.

Power is increased to 438bhp at 7000rpm through the process of an engine rebuild with stronger internal components in conjunction with a higher boost pressure and larger intercooler. This is fed through a hydraulically automated version of the [[Toyota_Gearboxes#EA60|Toyota EA60 gearbox]], and controlled via steering wheel mounted paddles.

Weight is reduced by around 90-105kg compared to the Evora S through the extensive use of carbon fibre both inside and out, including wider carbon fibre bodywork with the front and rear camshells, wings, doors, rear bulkhead and spoilers all made by Mansory in Germany.

Although the car garnered much publicity, various engineering issues meant that it never entered full production, with various pre-production cars built in 2012 and then left to languish at the companies in Hethel HQ. The fate of these Evora GTE's was unsure for some time, but in late 2014 Lotus Motorsport put together a business plan to rework the cars (6 RHD, 16 LHD) with the standard Evora S drive-train and bespoke wishbones and wheels. As power had been decreased these cars were re-branded as the GT350.
