New Lotus Evora for sale in Portland, Oregon - Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo

 

 

Lotus of Portland - 9008 SW Canyon Rd. Portland - 503.258.5500

 

There is a city that has the distinction of being the most expensive real estate market in the country. A city with a long history of using Saab police cars. It's someplace warm, where the beer flows like wine and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. We're talking about a little place called Aspen*.

 

But most importantly this Colorado (not in France) refuge for B-list celebrities is the namesake of Aspen White, the beautiful metallic color that adorns this 2011 Lotus Evora 2+2 with the Black Package.

 

The Black Package itself is a combination of the most popular options, including the Premium Pack, Sport Pack, Sports Ratio Gearbox, Star Shield, and the aforementioned Aspen White Lifestyle Paint. And if we may suggest, Aspen Police Department, this would make a terrific replacement for the Saabs no longer available. And the sizeable discount the Black Package offers will help with Aspen's Finest's surely exorbitant rent.

 

Need more proof? The Italians already did it*.

Editorial Description (provided by Chrome)

The rear-wheel drive Lotus Evora has a mid-mounted aluminum 3.5L V6 engine with dual overhead cams that churns out 276 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Toyota-sourced engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, with an optional close-ratio gearbox also available. Published numbers for the Evora give it a top speed of 162 mph, a 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.5 seconds. A new S version is available for 2011, which bumps horsepower to 345 and torque to 295 lb-ft via a supercharger and active exhaust. The IPS version features a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, allowing the driver to switch between three modes: manual paddle shift, sport paddle shift and fully automatic.

Four-wheel anti-lock vented disc brakes provide stopping power. Suspension is fully independent, with anti-roll bars front and rear. The composite body and bonded aluminum frame ride on top of 18-inch front wheels and 19-inch rear, with standard cast-alloy rims. Silver or Gloss Anthracite forged alloy wheels and Stealth Grey cast alloy wheels are available as options.

In addition to ABS, electronic brake distribution and electronic differential lock are all standard. Two-stage front passenger airbags are standard, as is a child seat fastening system in the rear. (By most accounts, children are the best fit for the Evora's rear seats.)

Those seats come in the form of adjustable Recaro Black leather. The steering wheel is an adjustable, flat-bottomed leather and magnesium one. Air conditioning, power windows, remote unlocking, two 12-volt sockets and the Lotus command center are standard, as well. Two standard exterior paint colors are available, Ardent Red and British Racing Green. Optional colors include Liquid Blue, Starlight Black, Isotope Green and Ice White.

The Evora comes with an Alpine CD/MP3/WMA stereo system with an iPod dock and auxiliary input. The Tech pack upgrades the system to an Alpine Mobile Media Station capable of playing DVDs, MP3, AAC, WMA, and DivX-encoded video on a 7-inch touch-screen display. Alpine BlackBird portable navigation and Bluetooth connections come with the package, which also adds cruise control, rear parking sensors, and tire pressure monitoring. The Tech pack itself can be upgraded to optimize sound reproduction in the cabin.

Adding the Premium pack to the Evora gives you a choice of seat leather colors -- charcoal, oyster, paprika or chestnut. It adds lots of extra interior leather touches, like on the door pockets, and an Evora logo on the dash.

The Sport pack gives drivers and enhanced throttle response and RPM limit, plus sports traction control mode with greater yaw and slip thresholds for even sportier handling. It also adds an engine oil cooler and cross-drilled brake discs.
