We’ve been hearing a lot about Lotus lately as the Evora S and the Evora IPS were announced as Lotus features at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September. We’re going to keep the ball rolling with the British manufacturer as they have just announced that the racing version of the Evora sports car will be making its racing debut this weekend at the European GT4 Championships. Behind the wheel of the sports car will be Lotus rookie driver, Ollie Hancock.
The Lotus Evora Cup is powered by a 4.0 Liter V8 making 360 PS and weighs just 1190 kg, nearly 200 kg less than the road going Evora. It will enter the race carrying the Lotus Type Number 124 and will be painted in a Lotus Motorsport Green with a yellow twin-stripe running down the center.
Next to the Evora Cup, Lotus will also be bringing four ultra lightweight Lotus 2-Eleven GT4 race cars to the event. Two of these sports cars will be decked out in the Lotus Motorsport livery with members of NFS Racing Dubai. The other two Lotus Evoras will be operated by Team Scuderia Giudici, who currently lead the GT4 “Super Sports” Championship category.
Press release after the jump.

When most people think of Pebble Beach they think of hitting a little while ball with a club next to the most beautiful scenery in the United States. We don’t think of those sort of things though. We think of the automotive festivities that take place on the coast.
This year, we had many cars that were shown. There were new cars like the new Ford Mustang Boss 302, and there were old cars like the Ferrari F40 birthday collection. In total, 2010 was a spectacular year at the beach for petrol heads.
With all the new car introductions and high-end auctions, automotive lovers of any age will love the extravaganza that was the Pebble Beach Week in California.
We have compiled a list of every new car that was shown in Cali, and some of them are truly amazing. There is even a F1 looking car.

A very strange thing happened this morning; Lotus sent a couple of “accidental” emails announcing the debut of two special Evora models at the Paris Motor Show. And after giving details on the two models, they asked the media to kindly “delete the messages” that were sent in error. Yeah, okay, like we actually believe this was an accident. If it was, then that was a giant mistake made by Lotus PR. Their loss, our gain.
The two new models, the Evora S and the Evora Auto “will be on the stand in Paris alongside the new car(s) not yet announced (let’s maintain the mystery for now!)”. And the message continues: “We are aiming to send out a press release about the Evora S and Evora Auto during the last week of this month. I’ve driven a prototype of both the Evora S and the Auto and I can tell you both cars are sensational. The S will be ready for media drives almost straight after Paris, in the US this will take place early next year. We have to be careful with the timing as we have so much going on and the impact from Paris will be big. Just for you to know, and please keep this confidential, our test team will be putting both cars through their paces on the Nordschleife at the Nurburgring from tomorrow on for three days, so we should have some good feedback to work with shortly.”
So we guess we’ll see Lotus at Nurburgring in the next days, huh? And, uh, nice job Lotus!

When Honda announced that they would stop making the S2000 the world was made a little bit worse. That was always one of the best sports cars on the market, if not the best.
The digital instrument panel looked like something out of a starship and the interior was so wacky that it was hard not to love it. The noise was amazing and the handling was sensational. It was fast, cheap, and looked good, not to mention the insanely high red line.
With the S2000 gone, what are we going to do? There is nothing quite like it on the market today. Today’s cars are getting softer not harder. Toyota pushed the date back on their FT-86 and Mazda will be getting rid of the RX-8 soon. The American car companies make muscle cars that are too heavy and terrible at handling, apart from the Ford Mustang. Really, if you want a fast, crazy, two-seat sports car there is little to choose from in today’s market.
Thank goodness we have Lotus. The Elise is a wonderful car if you live on a track, but it’s very hard on the road. The new Evora on the other hand, is a perfect mixture of track handling and a road precision.
Hit the jump for the full review.
