PICS: The 2010 Lotus Evora is COMING for only $73,500

[JLA]

The all-new Lotus Evora mid-engined coupe will hit U.S. showrooms in
early 2010 with prices starting from $73,500, the British automaker
announced today. That's 12 grand more than the 320HP Porsche Cayman S
($61,500) but $5,500 less than the entry-level Porsche 911 with RWD
and 345HP ($77,800).

The Evora is powered by a Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 producing 276 hp
at 6,400 rpm and 258 lb./ft. of torque at 4,700 rpm that drives the
rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission.

Lotus says that the 2+2 seater is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60
mph (96km/h) in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed 162mph (260km/h)
while also delivering over 30 miles per gallon on the highway.

The U.S. market Evora will come equipped with several standards
fetures including bi-xenon headlamps, air-conditioning system,
leather seats, Alpine audio system and a flat-bottomed leather and
magnesium steering wheel.
