This is the Lotus Evora Carbon Concept, a lightweight, motorsport inspired one-off.
As its name suggests, the car - which is mechanically identical to the standard Evora - is fitted with carbonfibre parts to lower its weight, including structural carbonfibre roof, diffuser and splitter. Lotus has not revealed how much weight has been saved.

Inside, the car features extensive use of leather and alcantara alongside carbonfibre panels.
It sits on 19-inch wheels.
Officially the car has been produced to highlight Lotus's involvement in motorsport, and will not go on sale.
However, reports suggest it could be produced as a limited edition if there is enough customer interest, or sold as a retro fit package.

Re: New Lotus Evora Carbon Concept
Brilliant. Good to see more good news for the Lotus name.
Re: New Lotus Evora Carbon Concept
There are already drop-top and supercharged Evoras in the pipeline.
But, with respect to styling, blimey, I have to say that this the first time I've thought that the Evora design "language" makes sense. Please, please Lotus - make this one for production. Although, no doubt, Reverie will already be making moulds for the necessary replacements bits in CF !!
Re: New Lotus Evora Carbon Concept
Yes. Yes. Yes. A lightweight Evora with a Cosworth tuned V6 and a sorted gearchange is a car I'd buy. The front end is improved no end by being a bit more aggressive.
