First Lotus Evora Delivered in the United States


The man you see pictured above is Bruce Rice, or in Lotus' books, the first North American customer to receive the keys to the firm's new mid-engined Evora sports coupe. Rice took delivery of the red-colored Evora earlier this week at John Eagle European's Lotus of Austin dealership in Texas.

In the States, the 2+2 seater Evora is priced from $73,500. It features a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 producing 276 horsepower that drives the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

Tipping the scales at just over 3,000 pounds, the Evora goes from 0 to 60 mph (96km/h) in 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 162mph (260km/h) while delivering over 30 mpg on the highway.
