Long, wide-Audi TT Coupe coupe auto show debut
“Lotus” blossom lotus sports Evora — drive experience
Lotus is the first car in the past 12 years. This is worth waiting for? We’ll see this flower blossom again “lotus” how can bring us a surprise
The control performance, so obvious years “in” ‘annual models, make it have a good practice and bone. Therefore we Evora of great expectations of, we want to see after 12 years’ lotus will bring us what kind of surprise.
Becker is lotus chassis r&d experts, nobody can doubt that he can be a new car handling performance to a near perfect condition. He brought us much surprise, this spring, Evora on shock absorber, wheels and tires are also his primary. In addition, more than 30,000 kilometers of test will let the master control performance of experts find the best solutions, let these many years of professional testing car journalist and excited, hope the cockpit immediately into Evora began long-awaited open test.
Actually this open test on the field is the car Evora prototype test version, the inspection in accordance with the real standard were produced a series of 34 to test. We got the first cars, used specially for public test. We are very honored to feel in the first Evora charm, you know, it’s more powerful, and a lot more practical equipment, 2 + 2 seats arrangement lets you always take children to play drift.
Becker, the car can inhibit the excitement that he forgot our objective, open up new play. 64 kilometers per hour three laps around the O fonts runway after his return to absolute being, and to our photographer apologized. Now I relentessly will come, he took the keys to the designer has had many times, open new hook my soul, to know that I have got impatient, without the slightest hesitation, I jumped aboard, began formally experience.
In fact, I can understand Becker will have so wild Evora, is not just to reach a satisfactory effects, more important is to show Exige, Evora Elise and Europa, or 2-7-eleven’s different places and why Evora can quickly from some difficult driving action in the normal state of driving.
The pilot was Elise, because it is easy to control the balance in the slide in the biggest steering Angle, but in less attention when you must turn to the steering wheel lock horns are. Although Evora used on the top 40 / weight distribution and after 60 Elise and Exige, but in the front wheel arch design, stylist gives Evora greater space to increase steering Angle, so it has more to lock horns. This will make the drivers more handsome guy rides, more freely and to inject the second block of greater motivation and higher speed.
I put on the test Evora, greater to lock horns in the operation, let me turn more freely, enjoy playing nearly 20 minutes later, one conclusion – enough to make the car drivers in the whole process of driving more fully released their energy. Toyota manufacturing equipment/V6 engine 3.5 Evora open up with Toyota CheDai give us can feel different, even though the engine and the use of the car, but with the same control unit of self-produced lotus, speed can easily reach 7,000 R.P.M..
This engine is different from the equipment in the performance, even in its peak condition also gives a person with soft, smooth feeling, accelerating performance also excellent. 3000-4000 turn/share of the torque performance in started Evora and Cayman porsche. S, Cooperate with engine in layout, need not worry for weight distribution problems caused by excessive, or to understeer in broad range of controllable, throttle and steering subtle adjustment can be kept in a very stable Evora state.
Tell everyone be worth to expect more news, Evora finalized yet Becker, i.e. the displacement of the engine, we experience is not final are equipped. Now after readjust displacement engine is Spanish a secret test, the purpose of which is to solve the problem of noise. If the engine can pass the final test, will become the real Evora production equipment of engine.
Another is the news is, to present the best equipment Becker division haoma tires remains unsatisfactory, although the manufacturer provides 35 different requirements should be tuned tires, but it just for Becker to find the right, but definitely not let his satisfaction tires, especially to lock horns before the change to a larger extent. Seem to do the work but tyre suppliers, also once again that Evora and tremendous potential.
The real test
We will open to the road, Evora to further in the common experience of driving conditions. Driving on the rural roads are turbulence, you can hear the noise coming from the chassis slightly, the whole car and not because what bad roads. Even when the road has hit chassis, Evora obstacles of wishbone, shock absorber and casing will also it dissolve, sit inside layer you won’t be no shadow mouth. The engine performance is very gentle below 3000, barely hear its voice and sound insulation, Evora in kung fu is absorbed into the Toyota’s comfortable essence.
You will only Evora in between the wheel came from ambiguously hear the voice, because it is a car, so little imperfections will never let fans feel bored. From the internal friction of automobile brand-porsche Evora extent, Cavman S less than 50% less than audi TT 75%. Therefore, the car for Evora each parts have enough space to show himself.
Actually, have standard specification chassis Evora than we can drive this has better performance. This car is verified by prototype from high moderate chassis Settings. A standard Evora provided the ride comfort will be better.
Although Evora is made from the Esprit lotus after the first car has steering sports car, but as a car to force because of its powerful spring and shock and setting of the heavier, so whether Evora Elise, they will still keep telling drivers in front of the current state.
In front of the vehicle started up, we can also rare in rugged country road gallop. In driving seat, I can totally quietly enjoy pleasure and stimulate the speed. While driving process Becker and our words and not too much, but in the lotus greatest driving cars, I face after 100 kilometers of driving is permeated with the enjoyment and intoxicated told me to this car Becker, I too satisfied enjoy the journey that I want to be a car Becker.
Everything is ready to make preparations
In formal before production. The production line has invested Evora lotus 34 “verify” production prototype.
And Exige Elise, and a 7-eleven’s production line, the production line is equipped with a lotus all necessary equipment and mould smoothly, and can produce inputs.
A car engine and vehicle from three aluminum chassis and the assembly to plastic, polishing and testing, probably need about four days of time. According to tradition, almost all of the lotus of the operation is completed by the hand, The lotus Hethel factory is the world so far few by manual craft manufacture of auto manufacturers, so this is one of the line is well worth a visit.
New production will use two shifts to ensure the basic Evora production to meet the market demand, the output will achieve the goal of 80. After it like Elise, Exige and 2 as a 7-eleven’s production. And this is only the beginning. According to the actual hetthel factory will adjust the market performance, try to meet customer demand.
