Something special is about to make way on our streets – a chromed up Lotus Evora. In fact theres two of them! Now, if you don’t fancy shiny objects, let’s keep things clear that this is an effort to promote the new film, ‘The Host’ which feature a couple of chrome Lotus Evoras in the movie.
‘The Host’ is a movie adaptation of the book written by Stephanie Myer, writer of the ‘Twilight Saga’ series. Alien baddies called – ‘The Seekers’ – who chases humans and erasing their memory were set to drive something fast and futuristic. Therefore, it was an intricate challenge for the directors to choose the right set of wheels to be featured in the movie. In the end the Lotus Evora was chosen for its futuristic looks. The Evora, when wrapped in chrome vinyl, truly gives an’ alienistic’ aura to the sci-fi movie with sufficient fire power to chase down helpless humans.
In celebration of the movie, Lotus Cars Malaysia is arranging a convoy gathering this Sunday, on 7th April from the Lotus Showroom in Sg. Penchala to Pavillion KL. This event is set to be ‘Malaysia’s Largest Lotus Convoy Gathering’ to date, and the chrome Evora will be driven by Asia’s fastest female racing driver, Natasha Seatter. She was crowned the title in 2011, when she received her first podium win in the Formula Pilota China series in Ordos, China. Last year, she set the fastest time in the prestigious Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi in the Formula FG1000 Gulf Series.
There is an example of the chrome Evora – displayed at Pavillion KL for public viewing, for those who can’t wait to see it in the flesh on Sunday.
Till then, here’s the movie trailer for everyone to watch.
