Proton Exora

The first all-new Lotus since the iconic Elise made its debut in 1995, the Evora enters the sports car market as the world’s only mid-engine 2+2. Powered by a Lotus-tuned 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 276 hp, and weighing just 2,976 lbs. (prototype specification), the Evora promises breathtaking performance.

The Evora offers a more refined ownership experience than Lotus’s existing smaller four-cylinder models with a contemporary, hand-crafted and elegantly trimmed cabin and an equipment list including such high-tech features as an advanced touch-screen multi-media system incorporating a state-of-the-art Alpine satellite navigation and audio system.

HETHEL (United Kingdom): Lotus Evora, launched for the UK market, is to hit the Malaysian market by end of next month, says Proton managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin Mohamed Tahir.

He said Proton was awaiting the next batch of Lotus Evora before "we are ready for the launch".

Saying that the company has not decided on the price, he did not deny that Lotus Evora will be higher than STG50,000 (RM265,000) price in the UK.

Lotus Evora, originally developed under a project called "Project Eagle", was launched at the British Motor Show in July 2008.

The car is bigger than other Lotus models like Elise and Exige, with 160mph top speed and the power to move from 0-60mph in less than five seconds.
