That's a really good looking car. Nice job Lotus! Now who has the specs on it? Does it still weigh as little as the Elise? Engine size? Edit: Oh, it's in the article! Mid-engine, Toyota 3.5L V6 with 276 HP, and the car weighs 2,976. More than the Elise, but still not bad. That's going to easily be faster than a stock 335 still.

I'm gonna go against what you guys are saying and just say that this isn't that good looking to me. It's too bland. It needs more air ducts, and the front bumper looks average to me.
The interior is sweet though; looks high-tech.

I'm surprised Lotus put Navi in there...
WTF needs navigation on a Lotus? Incase you get lost going to the track? Overall, huge improvement over the Elise.

If this were under $50k like the Elise, I'd consider it.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/lotus-evora.html 2009 Lotus Evora revealed: Project Eagle arrives July22 The Eagle has landed but is officially known as the Evora. As promised, Lotus‘ long-anticipated Project Eagle has finally made its official debut at the London, England auto show on Tuesday, doubling the automaker’s unique model range, at least in North America. In Europe, Lotus also offers the Europa S coupe. The Evora is aimed to compete with Porsche’s Cayman on the performance side, but will be slightly more practical thanks to its available 2+2 passenger layout. Lotus is promising the Evora’s cabin will be the most comfortable it has produced to date, with easier ingress and egress than any of its other models. Leather seats from Recaro, a closing glove box, and storage bins and cup holders will all be standard equipment. As previously reported, the Evora is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 from Toyota’s parts bin, tuned slightly to produce a more impressive 276 horsepower and 250lb-ft of torque. It will be placed amidships, and will put its power down to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The car is promised to weigh in under 3,000lbs, resulting in performance that includes a sub-five-second 0-60mph sprint and a claimed 160mph top speed. Reigning the car in will be vented and cross-drilled disc brakes all around, sized at 13.8 inches up front and 13.1 inches out back and squeezed by AP Racing calipers. The front wheels will be 18 inches in diameter, surrounded by tires sized at 225/40-18, while the rears will be 19s with 255/35-19 rubber. The forged aluminum wishbone suspension will use Bilstein shocks sitting inside Eibach springs to provide the Lotus-signature impressive handling capabilities. The car will start hitting dealerships in the U.K. in the spring of 2009, with only 2,000 made and priced at £45,000 apiece. The company promises a convertible and a higher performance model will join the coupe by October of 2011. |

I think they're different engines. The IS350 uses a direct-injection system and I don't think it would work in the Lotus application since the IS350 is rear-drive. This is likely the engine from the Camry, which has 268hp. So, the engine is 'tuned slightly'.
