A new logo will be introduced along with refined, high quality<br \/>\nleather piping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brake Callipers<\/strong><br \/>\nRed Caliper Brakes are now standard on the Evora S and are part of teh Sport Pack on the Evora.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Wheel Styles<\/strong><br \/>\nThere will be a range of 7 wheels for the MY12 Evora with 2 new additions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design wheel, Gunmetal Grey, forged (19&#8243; front and 20&#8243; rear)<\/li>\n<li>Design wheel, Gloss Black, forged (19&#8243; front and 20&#8243; rear)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>New Exhaust<\/strong><br \/>\nThe new exhaust for MY12 improves the engine note, giving the Evora a  sportier tone. Within the exhaust a valve opens above 4700 rpm, changing  the flow of exhaust gases, increasing the volume. When the sport button  is depressed the valve stays permanently open, giving an exhaust sound commensurate with the car performance.<\/p>\n<p>The exhaust gas primary flow path goes through a multi chamber silencing system which reduces noise. This silencing system generates excessive back pressure at higher engine rpm and could damage the engine. The valve activation occurs to protect the engine from the back pressure, allowing only a small amount of exhaust gas to pass through<br \/>\nthe silencing system.<\/p>\n<p>The naturally aspirated Evora with no Sport Pack will open its valve at  4700 rpm but only the sport button in the Sport Pack will override it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interior<\/strong><br \/>\nThree different optional Premium interiors can now be specified on the Evora range: Premium, Premium Suede Tex or Premium Sport.<\/p>\n<p>The leather grade has been improved over MY11 giving an immediate better quality perception of the car. The interior colour break down will also change. The cabin will now be fully trimmed in the colour of the Premium Pack selected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Premium<\/strong><br \/>\nFor the Premium option there is a wide range of leather colours  including Ebony Black, Ivory White, Venom Red, Cognac Brown, Imperial  Blue, Cocoa Brown and Ash Grey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Premium SuedeTex\u00ae<\/strong><br \/>\nA double material seat with Ebony Black Leather and Slate Grey Suede Tex\u00ae is also available.<\/p>\n<p>White with premium option all stitching in piping is in the same tonal  colour as the selected leather. It is also important to note that all  seats also come with tonal piping and the Lotus roundel embossed into  the headrest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Premium Sport<\/strong><br \/>\nOn the Premium Sport option a range of four leather colours are  available, Ebony Black, Venom Red, Cocoa Brown and Imperial Blue. The seat itself now has a different stitch pattern, carbon effect  leather inserts, a contrast stitch, which is also replicated throughout  the rest of the interior. In the Premium Sport Pack the Lotus roundel emblem will be embroidered onto the headrest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chrome Door Handles<\/li>\n<li>Headlights-Xenon standard fit<\/li>\n<li>Gear Knob-Better<\/li>\n<li>Vent &amp; Door Surrounds-In leather<\/li>\n<li>Close Ratio 6 Speed Manual Gearbox-Standard<\/li>\n<li>Interior Grab Handle-From plastic to leather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gglotus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Product-News-AUGUST-2011-USA-2012-MY-Intro.pdf\">Download the 2012 Lotus Evora Brochure<\/a> (PDF)<\/p>\n<p>via Abraham Reyes\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newporteuropean.com\/\">Newport European Motorcars<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Price Base price increase of $2000 for Evora however Sport Pack is now standard so really a $500 increase in price since that option goes for $1500.
