The Lotus Evora beat out 29 other cars to win the title of Performance Car of the Year for 2009 from Car Magazine. The list included marquee car brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche, giving you an idea of what this vehicle brings. All 30 cars went through subjective and objective testing on the driving roads of Great Britain. Among the highlights of the Lotus Evora during this event included the smooth navigation and steering.

And to refresh your memory, the Lotus Evora features a 280HP 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox.

Bad news for people who were looking to find comfort on the 2010 Lotus Evora. Though many expected it to be a car built for 4, it looks like it will only be built for two.

Lotus plans to keep the Evora hype going by adding new features to the car each year – including a paddle-shift gearbox and a high-performance supercharged variant – culminating in a roadster model in 2012. However, to make room for the convertible top, Lotus engineers had to do away with the Evora’s rear seat.

“It’s not going to be easy to fit the roof in,” Steve Crijns, the Evora’s exterior designer, told Autocar. “It will have to go in front of the engine, where the rear seats are now. The rest of the car has been designed with the cabrio in mind; the doors, for instance, are styled so that they can accommodate the system without any changes.”

Crijns also revealed the Evora will do with a soft top rather than a retractable hardtop. The decision to use a more conventional soft top will not only save on engineering time but will also keep the car’s weight down.

The Auto Show in LA is filled with great cars. One of them is the new Lotus Evora. The Evora has two extra cylinders for extra power. Besides the power under the hood, there’s a full-featured Apline system waiting for you inside.

The Evora is bigger than its sisters, the Elise and Exige and it has a 2+2 seating arrangement. Under the hood a 3.5L V6 Toyota engine reigns. It will get you 276 hp at 6,400 rpm and 252 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm. The top speed might be somewhere around 160 mph although the number might change when the top speed tests are completed. We know it needs 5 seconds to get from 0 to 60 and that it will get you more than 30 mpg on the highway.

GPS, iPod playback and Bluetooth cell phone support is brought to you by that Alpine infotainment system. We only need a price now for this Lotus Evora.
