Lotus Evora Gets New 'Sports Racer' Package

Lotus is releasing a new package for its Evora called the ‘Sports Racer,’ which brings the sports car new styling inside and out, and new tech features.

The ‘Sports Racer’ package boosts the performance of the car slightly, offering up a switchable sports mode with sharper throttle response, increased rpm limit, sports diffuser, cross-drilled brake discs, and a sportier setting for Dynamic Performance Management.

The exterior of the Evora ‘Sports Racer’ can be had in one of four colors: Aspen White, Carbon Grey, Nightfall Blue and Ardent Red. To give the car a more dramatic look than the regular Evora, gloss black accents have been added to the roof, front splitter, rear diffuser and side sills, along with black mirror caps, gloss black forged wheels, and black rear badging.
