Thank you for purchasing a Lotus product. We are sure you will
enjoy being part of the Lotus family. The Evora has been designed
for the discerning driver, and aims to provide enjoyable motoring
from a lightweight, distinctively styled and efficient package.
This handbook has been written for the owner/driver and
should be read before using the car, and then stored in the car
for ready reference, remaining with the car throughout any sub-
sequent changes of ownership. The content includes important
safety information to protect you from injury, explanations and
instructions for operating the driving controls, owner mainte-
nance requirements, technical specifications, and an explanation
of the warranty. It is not intended to provide all the technical
information required for servicing, and should any adjustment
become necessary, owners are urged to contact their Lotus
dealer. It is a requirement of the warranty, and the responsibility
of the owner/driver, to ensure that servicing of the car is carried
out at the correct intervals.
A comprehensive Contents listing (see page 1) and an alpha-
betical index at the back of this book are provided to help you
