With a top speed of 188 mph, the new 2020 Lotus Evora GT is the fastest model ever sold by the British sports car firm in North America. With an output of 422 horsepower, it is also the most powerful.
The new model replaces the outgoing Evora Sport 410 and Evora 400 and comes with a comprehensive number of updates throughout.
It is lighter for starters, by 71 pounds compared to the Evora 400, giving it a total mass of just 3,104 pounds. This is with the optional Carbon Pack fitted, which includes carbon fiber front access panel and a one-piece louvered tailgate with integrated spoiler and diffuser.
- The greatest Lotus road cars ever
Even the standard car has carbon fiber rear bumper, A-panels, rear-wheel ducts, and sill covers, though.
Much of the bodywork is aerodynamically functional as well. Compared to the Evora 400, it generates double the amount of downforce – as much as 140 pounds at higher speeds. Lotus reckons this makes it the benchmark car for its price point.
