The mid-engined racer uses a Toyota V6 that produces just under 400 horsepower, depending on the regulations of each specific race. The engine will be paired to a sequential six-speed racing gearbox with paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel. To reign in that power, a set of six-piston calliper brakes from AP Racing was installed with an ABS from Bosch.
At the same time the car weight is reduced to less than 1200 pounds kg/2646 (also waiting for race rules), which means about 200 kilograms (441 pounds) was stripped off in a light car on the road Evora. Lotus race engineers to install an aluminum double wishbone suspension, and also used in aluminum frame. They used a carbon fiber body panels to reduce weight. Lightweight, 18-inch wheels are covered with slick tires that are wider Pirelli rear.
"Each car is a Lotus designed home on the track than the road, and the Evora is a difference," said Lotus Vehicle Engineering Director Roger Becker.
