Lotus Evora GTC launched
Lotus Racing has unveiled the Evora GTC race car.
Essentially a development of the Evora GT4, the GTC version gains traction control, anti-lock brakes and wider wheels that sit beneath enlarged arches.
However, thanks to carbon fibre panels and Plexiglass glazing, it actually weighs 30 kg (66 lbs) less than its predecessor, tipping the scales at 1,130 to 1,140 kg (2,491 to 2,513 lbs) depending on final specification.
The 4 litre V6 engine is unchanged, and it still produces 450 bhp (335 kW / 456 PS) and 460 Nm (339 lb/ft) of peak torque. Drive to the rear wheels is via an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission.
Customer racing teams are already planning to run the Evora GTC in the Rolex Sports Car Series in the USA and the Britcar MSA Endurance Championship in the UK. It’s also anticipated that the car will be eligible to compete in the British GT Championship, VdeV Series and Dutch Supercar series, as well as individual endurance races such as the Dubai 24 Hours and the 12 Hours of Bathurst.
