The 2010 Lotus Evora engine is again sourced from Toyota - this time the Camry's 3.5-liter V-6. In the hands of Lotus engineers, it makes 276 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual is standard, but an automatic eventually will be added. Lotus Evora claims this heretofore humble engine will propel its new GT to 160 mph and provide a five-second 0-to-60-mph sprint. Although the Lotus Evora follows recent Lotus practice by using an aluminum-spaceframe structure and a mid-mounted engine, the car is much larger, more luxurious, and more livable than any of the current models.
