LOTUS ENVORA 414E HYBRID
Spread the word, Lotus has not lost his touch. The manufacturer whose motto is "light is right" continues to innovate by offering alternative solutions for sports tomorrow.
After an ethanol engine in the Exige and a sound system of electric cars, Britain Evora offers this year with three motors to move.
The cut embarks indeed placed two electric motors on each rear wheel and developing 207 hp and 500 Nm each. Powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer of kWH 17 can be recharged on making conventional and offering a range of 50 km, these engines will be supported additionally by a heat engine.
This block 1.2 of 47 hp will be limited to the role of extension of autonomy and will therefore work to recharge the battery when needed. Thus the total autonomy of the Evora will be increased to 480 km with a total output of 414 hp.
In addition, the use of two electric motors on the rear wheels will ensure a distribution of torque vector, as proposed by other sports cars like the Audi S4 .
For the immersion of the driver is complete, Lotus has obviously planned his sound system featuring four artificial sounds to choose from, including that of a V6 or V12.
A gearbox "artificial" (electric motors with no box but a speed reducer) with paddle shifters will be offered, allowing the driver to act on the engine torque as downshifting on a thermal.
The Lotus Evora 414E will remain for the time that a study be rational but its innovations will surely find on an upcoming production model.
