For those of us that use Microsoft’s Outlook for our work email needs, I think it’s pretty safe to say that the ‘recall’ feature was only there for show. Lotus Cars can now be added to that list as an email intended for internal use was supposedly accidentally sent to all the media contacts on the company’s list.
Whether it was a real accident or not, the one thing we can all take away from their carelessness would be the confirmation of an automatic variant of the Lotus Evora as well as a hotter ‘S’ variant and a new model that will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show later this year.
An ‘S’ variant could mostly likely indicate a supercharger dumped on the 3.5-liter V6 Toyota lump at the rear, much like the Exige S. The inclusion of a slushbox variant would makes sense as well, considering the Evora’s leaning towards a tourer outlook.
As for the new model, there has been so much talk of an Esprit return that we’re bordering on just accepting that fact although nobody can be absolutely certain until Paris comes around.
