Corsu Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm looking for the EA60 gearbox weight. Why ? That's a good question. In fact, I don't understand the weight difference between EVORA and EVORA Supercharged. Officialy, EVORA IPS weighs 1436 kg, the same than EVORA S. EVORA weighs 1382 kg. So, a 54 kg huge difference ! More strange, the difference between EVORA IPS and EVORA S IPS is 6 kg, 1436 kg versus 1442 kg, a little bit strange, no ? More strange, if you read this EVORA S road test, you can discover that the journalists have weighed 1421 kg with a full tank, 15-16kg less than the official weigh ! So, two questions : - Does anybody know the EA60 gearbox weight ? - Do you think that Lotus increases the EVORA S weight to equalize the EVORA IPS Weight. Sales argument ? I hope you will understand what i mean U660E weigh 94.4 kg. Edited November 9, 2011 by Corsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAWS Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) The difference in weight has less to do with the gearbox and more do do with the cooling. The Evora IPS and 'S' have the additional cooler(s) (model year dependant) and associated pipework and ducting that the manual N/A Evora doesn't have. Then on top of this the 'S' has the actual supercharger and ancillaries. Edited December 3, 2011 by JAWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsu Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Thanks for post ! "Street", I look forward to the results ! "Jaws", You wrote that IPS has some additionnal coolers, which kind of coolers ? More radiator, intercooler ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAWS Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 The IPS had 2 x air/oil coolers in the front bumper that cool the gearbox. The 'S' used them for the engine. For MY12 they both use just one (albeit a different type) and the S-IPS uses two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
