Full details of the 2010 Evora Cup have yet to be released but from what information we've picked up, it has a prize fund of at least 100,000 euros and viewers will get a chance to see how the Lotus' 2010 GT4 manufacturer series performs. We'll know more about the car during the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in March. So far, we've determined the car will have an enlarged 4.0-liter version of the Toyota 2GR-FE V6 with dry-sump oiling.
Lotus estimates the mid-mounted V6 will produce about 400hp at 7,000 rpm and about 295 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. Redline will be 7,250 rpm. The car will weigh less than 1,200 kg (~ 2,645 pounds).
The transmission will be a Cima 6-speed dog box with paddle shifters and the car will have an aero package with a carbon fiber front splitter, diffuser and rear wing developed by Dallara. Running gear for the vehicle consists of adjustable dampers and brakes with two-piece aluminum rotors, and six-piston calipers up front and 2-pots in back.
