Lotus unveils the Evora S and Evora IPS

The Evora IPS, which stands for Intelligent Precision Shift, features a six-speed automatic transmission, and has a 3.5-litre V6 that produces 276bhp and 350Nm of torque. This allows the car to go from 0-100km/h in 5.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 250km/h.

The Evora S meanwhile, is powered by a supercharged version of the same 3.5-litre V6, which churns out 346bhp and 400Nm of torque. Combined to a six-speed manual, this enables the car to go from 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds, and reach a top speed of 277km/h.

The Evora S comes with a "sport pack" as standard, and includes a "sport" button which allows the driver to adjust throttle response and activate an exhaust by-pass valve. Other features include cross-drilled brakes, restyled wheels, and an aggressive rear diffuser.

According to Lotus CEO Dany Bahar, "You don't realize what you were missing from your driving experience until you get behind the wheel of the Evora S. It's the next level of Evora experience. It communicates with you better, the suspension setting has been fine tuned for added power and control so it responds even more to direction. It's an instinctual car, the experience is pure."
