Lotus Evora GTE Concept

Tonight will see the unveiling of the Lotus Evora GTE Road Car Concept at the McCall’s Motorworks Revival, which is being held at the Monterey Jet Center in California. Later on in the week, the car will form part of the Lotus display at the Pebble Beach Concours event.

The Road Car Concept has been developed as a street-legal version of the Evora GTE race car. Claimed power is over 420 bhp (313 kW / 425 PS), and drive to the rear wheels is via an AMT sequential racing gearbox. There’s also a suitably stripey paintjob, centre-lock ultra-light alloy wheels and a rather odd-looking rear spoiler.

Lotus has yet to confirm whether the Evora GTE Road Car will enter series production. That decision will probably be strongly influenced by what sort of reaction the concept gets.

Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
