\"Lotus<\/a><\/p>\n

Ahead of the official unveil at the Paris Motor Show on September 30th, Lotus announce the latest evolution of the award winning Evora \u2013 the Evora S and Evora IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) option.<\/p>\n

Lotus has taken the award winning Evora and re-created it with a 350 PS 3.5l V6 engine to create the Evora S. Dany Bahar<\/a> Lotus\u2019 Chief Executive Officer summed it up beautifully when he said: \u201cYou don\u2019t realise what you were missing from your driving experience until you get behind the wheel of the Evora S.\u201d<\/p>\n

So apart from the obvious power difference, how is the Evora S different to the standard Evora? It\u2019s another question we put to the CEO (given that he\u2019s spent a little time behind the wheel, we thought he\u2019d be best placed to answer questions). This is what he said: \u201cIt\u2019s the next level of Evora experience. It communicates with you better, the suspension setting has been fine tuned for added power and control so it responds even more to direction. It\u2019s an instinctual car, the experience is pure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were proud of the Evora but we\u2019re even prouder of the Evora S, I feel like it does the true Lotus experience justice. The really great thing is that as we move forward the standard Evora should also benefit from some of these developments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/a><\/p>\n

The Evora S comes with a sport pack as standard featuring a \u2018sport\u2019 button which allows the driver to control throttle response and activate the exhaust by-pass valve. The sport button also raises the instantaneous rev limit and changes the dynamic stability control settings resulting in a total experience change. There are cross-drilled brakes for improved cooling. And here\u2019s a heads up for those who buy into the old adage \u2018you can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys\u2019: the external emotion of the Evora S has been improved with a completely new active exhaust which means that at the push of a button the car sounds just as dramatic as it feels.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the Evora S, Lotus Chief Commercial Officer Andreas Prillmann<\/a> said: \u201cThe Evora S is a natural progression for us but more than that, it\u2019s a taste of what people can come to expect from the next generation of Lotus cars. It retains core Lotus values such as performance through lightweight but it also gives more than that. It\u2019s the perfect combination of top performance, style and comfort. Form doesn\u2019t sacrifice function in the case of the Evora S.\u201d<\/p>\n

So there you have it folks, the next generation of Lotus Evora, the Evora S, set to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. In addition to the Evora S, Lotus also presents the IPS (Intelligent Precision Shift) option. This inception of the seven-time-award-winning (who\u2019s counting? We are!) Evora sees an automatic 6-speed gearbox with Lotus developed transmission control with a 3.5 l V6 engine delivering 280 PS assuring a superior automatic driving experience.<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/a><\/p>\n

The IPS version of the Evora allows the driver to switch between manual paddle shift and automatic drive modes. The driver also has the option of selecting \u2018sport\u2019 mode which showcases the Lotus sport driving experience allowing the driver to really feel each gear shift and be in complete control of the transmission.<\/p>\n

\"Lotus<\/a><\/p>\n

Commenting on the development Dany Bahar said: \u201cThe Evora IPS is set to broaden the appeal of the Evora and reach out to a slightly different market. We hope it will be popular with established automatic locations such as Asia, the Middle East and the US. It\u2019s been a long time since Lotus created an automatic and we\u2019ve spent a great deal of time refining this one to make sure that it perfectly complements the Evora drive experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
