Your raising the interesting question, could Lotus have sourced the gearbox they need on their own at this point and time? 

Upgrading the manual BOX is certainly a possibility, it would come at a price, but Lotus does already open the gearbox to install/tweak their own ratios, so upgrading the pinnings is entirely possible but you bet tha mod alone would send the price way up. Upgrading the auto is doable as better gearboxes are available from Lotus supplier and it would be entirely "plug and play", in order to acquire one of these Lotus would need to pay extra compared to the 6 speed though. Last I heard Lotus Cars was making a small profit so maybe some of that money could have been used to source a gearbox upgrade. and that gearboxe definitely doesn't cost the same as the Xtrac automated manual.

This looks much more like the 311 lines than an Evora. 

Maybe GT4 derivate or successor to the 311?

If you have the choice between a Stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell don't forget the Nomex®!

The car is an Evora.

Some of you guessed some right points and some of you went way to far :lol:

I doubt it.  It won't beat a Toyota / Lexus V8 for reliability.  Ever since Lotus has used Toyota engines in their cars things have been very good :)

Here she is.  “powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.”

Do enjoy the teaser images and excitements.  Perhaps this one will have two cup holders and squeekless seats.

So the first and third one get me a 'page not found' message and the second one gets me an Elise?

Am I missing something?

The site is handling them differently. The Cup one clearly has something directing that URL to the base range page where as the others simply have nothing "listening" so you get a 404. 

It could simply be an SEO thing in that Evora Cup is a search term used and they want to handle traffic. Can't see it being unintentional so you could be onto something :) 

Just checked, it's a 301 redirect, so if it is going to have something unveiled on immanently it should be 302. Although the lotus cars website has never really been that on the ball when it comes to best practice.

Notice the difference when you type in the following URLs?

http://www.lotuscars.com/evora-sprint_430

http://www.lotuscars.com/evora-cup

http://www.lotuscars.com/evora-race

I am pretty sure we are waiting for an Evora Cup version. 

Sound reasoning, Lotus and they are not the only ones have had moments in the past when the website links  would let people know of incoming stuff coming a bit too early.

Having a "cup" link ready to go probably makes a lot of sense for the IT guys though but then so would "race ".

Well if it is a Evora Cup I hope it is not just a Cup 410 or 420, Cup 430 would cut if for Lotus fans, but as JayEmm said the press will probably have none of it. if it is a Cup 410, the car and the company will be ridiculed.

So really hoping they managed to tune or source the gearbox and let the engine power curve go loose.

come on, Baptiste ... give us a clue :P ! for example, would you sell your 400 for the new car ? are Cup2s actually fitted to this car (Sport 4s pattern is quite similar) ?
