Evora Brakes.jpg

All the current V6 engined Lotus' (Evora, Evora S, Exige S) share the same 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)
  • 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 Grey 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. The actual caliper used the same regardless of colour.

The following brake upgrades are available as part of the Lotus Racing Evora GTN Upgrade Packages.
