TheManufacuturer.com has a fantastic video of a Tony Shute presentation on the design decisions and the development process that went into the creation of the Lotus Evora. It a bit tech heavy and quite long (38 min) but is definitely worth the watch and I guarantee that it will absolutely delight the engineer inside you.<\/p>\n

Some of the highlights:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Went from a clean sheet to final production in 27 months<\/li\n\t\n\n
  2. The front crash structure was designed and tested independent of the rest of the car<\/li>\n
  3. The aluminum wishbones on both sides of the front and the rear uppers use the same tooling<\/li>\n
  4. Headlight tooling was developed in China but uses UK parts<\/li>\n
  5. Radiator acts as a front wing and generates downforces<\/li>\n
  6. Main chassis consists of 20 extrusions<\/li>\n
  7. Prototypes were built on the manufacturing line<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
