Lotus has unveiled the new Lotus Evora Enduro GT race car in the 2011 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. The Evora Enduro GT Idea is the base vehicle for your new Lotus GT2/GTE vehicle which will be racing within the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup this season and it is an developed model of your Lotus GT4 Endurance.
Lotus Motorsport, beneath the supervision of lead designer Nicola Scimeca created the new vehicle. The car rides on 18 inch forged alloys wrapped in 24/64-18 - 27/65-18 tires front and rear, while supplying the necessary stopping energy is often a performance brake system with 22 mm race pads, two piece aluminium belled discs and 6 piston callipers at the front and 4-piston calliper at the rear. Driven by a mid-mounted 4-litre DOCH V6 VVT-i engine, normally aspirated and tuned by Cosworth, the Lotus Evora Enduro GT Idea develops 440 bhp @ 7,000 rpm and 460 Nm of torque @ five,500 rpm.
The rear wheels get their energy from the engine by means of an XTRAC 426 six-speed sequential gearbox. An optional pneumatic paddle-shift system could be fitted. Handling arrives down to a forged double wishbone layout, four-way adjustable Ohlins TTX36 dampers, coaxial coil springs, elevated camber, and adjustable anti-roll bars. Mated with racing slicks, it really should demonstrate formidable, especially with its mid-engine layout.
