All the current V6 engined Lotus' (Evora, Evora S, 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 cars specification.
The entry level 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 Evora S) were fitted with cross drilled brake discs and Black calipers. For the MY12 Evora the Sports Pack brake caliper colour was changed to Red (Black being non-cost option). The actual caliper used is the same regardless of colour.
