Zida ndi zomaliza
Kupeza kachilombo kokhazikitsidwa bwino kuli ndi ubwino wake. Kulemera kwagalimoto ndi mapanelo amthupi ophatikizika amathandizira kuti pakhale mafuta ophatikiza malita 8.7 pa 100 km poyerekeza ndi injini ya V6. Ngakhale chiwongolero chopanda pansi amapangidwa kuchokera ku magnesium yabodza kuti achepetse kulemera ndi malo amkati mwa chiwongolerocho.
Monga momwe zimakhalira ndi galimoto yamasewera, kuyimitsidwa kumagwiritsa ntchito kuyimitsidwa kopepuka kwapawiri, akasupe a Eibach ndi ma dampers a Bilstein opangidwa ndi Lotus. Mainjiniya adakhazikikanso pakuyika chiwongolero chamagetsi mokomera makina amagetsi.

Ngakhale kukula kwake kocheperako - ndi 559mm kutalika kuposa Elise - yapakati-injini ya 3.5-lita V6 ndi njira yowona ya 2+2, yokhala ndi mipando yakumbuyo yayikulu yokwanira kunyamula anthu ang'onoang'ono kumbuyo ndi katundu wofewa mu boot ya 160-lita.

Maonekedwe
Mwachiwonekere, Evora imatenga zojambula zina kuchokera kwa Elise, koma kutsogolo kuli ndi mawonekedwe amakono pa grille ya Lotus ndi nyali zakutsogolo. Lotus Executive Engineer Matthew Becker akuvomereza kuti mapangidwe a Evora adauziridwa ndi magalimoto otchuka a Lancia Stratos.
Iye anati: “Chinthu chimodzi chofunika kwambiri sichinali kupangitsa galimotoyo kukhala yaikulu kwambiri. Kuti apereke malo okwanira anayi, Evora ndi yaitali 559mm, yotambasula pang'ono ndi yaitali, ndipo wheelbase yake ndi 275mm yaitali kuposa Elise. Chassis ili ndi mawonekedwe ofanana ndi Elise, omwe amapangidwa kuchokera ku aluminiyamu yotulutsidwa, koma yayitali, yotakata, yolimba komanso yotetezeka.
"Elise chassis idapangidwa zaka 15 zapitazo," akutero Becker. "Chifukwa chake tidatenga mbali zabwino kwambiri za chassis ndikusintha." Galimotoyo ndi chitsanzo choyamba cha Lotus 'Universal Car Architecture ndipo ikuyembekezeka kuthandizira mitundu yambiri m'zaka zikubwerazi.
Imagwiritsa ntchito ma subframes akutsogolo ndi akumbuyo kuti athe kusinthidwa mosavuta ndikukonzedwa pakachitika ngozi. Mitundu ina yatsopano ya Lotus, kuphatikiza 2011 Esprit, ikuyembekezeka kugwiritsa ntchito nsanja yofananira pazaka zisanu zikubwerazi.
Kuyendetsa
Lotus wakhala akufunitsitsa kukhala woposa kupanga magalimoto ang'onoang'ono a niche. Ndipo ngakhale timakonda kukwera Elise ndi Exige, sizidzakhala zofala. Awa ndi magalimoto amasewera chabe kwa anthu okonda. Weekend Warriors.
Evora ndi lingaliro losiyana kotheratu. Zapangidwa ndi chitonthozo m'maganizo popanda kupereka nsembe ya Lotus kuti igwire ntchito ndi kusamalira. Magawo onse omwe amasiyanitsa Elise ndi Exige kwa okwera adaganiziridwanso ku Evora. Zitseko zimakhala zocheperapo komanso zocheperako, pomwe zitseko zimakhala zazitali komanso zotseguka mokulirapo, zomwe zimapangitsa kulowa ndi kutuluka kucheperako ku zovuta zamasewera acrobat.
Zikuwoneka ngati galimoto yaikulu yamasewera, koma Lotus amamvetsetsa kuti kuti apikisane ndi magalimoto ngati Porsche Boxster, ayenera kukhala osavuta kugwiritsa ntchito. Iwo anapambana. Kuvala Evora kuli ngati kuvala chovala cha Armani chopangidwa bwino. Zimakwanira bwino, koma nthawi yomweyo zimakhala zofewa komanso zolimbikitsa.
Mukakhala pamipando yokumbatirana ntchafu, mumakhala ndi miyendo yambiri komanso zipinda zam'mutu popanda kumverera kwa claustrophobia. Ichi ndi chopinga choyamba kuchigonjetsa. Cholepheretsa chachiwiri ndi mtundu wosinthika kwambiri wamitundu yakale ya Lotus komanso mbiri yawo ngati "magalimoto amtundu". Evora wapita kutali kuti athetse tsankho limeneli.
Kutengera kapangidwe kake, zimasiyana ndi Boxster yogwira bwino komanso yaku Germany. Mwinamwake zomwe timangokhalira nazo mkati ndikuti zina zachiwiri zowonjezera zimawoneka ngati zinachokera ku bin ya Toyota. Koma khalidweli ndilobwino kwambiri lomwe taziwonapo kuchokera ku British automaker zaka zambiri, kuchokera pamutu mpaka mipando yachikopa yomalizidwa bwino.
Zonse zimakhululukidwa mukatembenuza kiyi ndikugunda msewu. Chiwongolerocho ndi chakuthwa, pali mgwirizano wabwino pakati pa kukwera ndi kunyamula, ndipo V6 yapakati-injini ili ndi mawu okoma. Monga ena mwa omwe akupikisana nawo, Evora imapeza "masewera" omwe amathandizira kuti madalaivala atenge nawo mbali pochepetsa ena mwaomwe amakhala otetezeka.
Lotus mwanzeru adasankha chowongolera cha hydraulic pamagetsi amagetsi kuti amve bwino komanso mayankho. Monga Elise, Evora amagwiritsa ntchito njira zopepuka, zapamwamba zopangira zomwe ndi kiyi pakuchita bwino kwagalimoto.
Kulemera kwa 1380kg, galimoto yamasewera otsika iyi ikufanana ndi hatchback yaku Japan, koma injini ya Toyota yopangidwanso ya 3.5-lita silinda silinda imapereka mphamvu zambiri. Zisanu ndi chimodzi ndizothandiza komanso zosalala, zimapereka mphamvu zosalala komanso ma rev ambiri otsika omwe amayamba mwachangu ma rev akapitilira 4000.
Mu nyimbo yathunthu, injini ili ndi cholemba chodabwitsa, koma pa liwiro lalikulu imapangidwa ndi kukhala chete. Kwa ena okonda, V6 ikhoza kukhala yopanda phokoso lokwanira kuti izindikire ngati galimoto yomwe imagunda 100 km / h mu masekondi 5.1 kapena kugunda 261 km / h, koma kumveka bwino ndi kufulumira kwa kutumiza kwa zisanu ndi chimodzi kumakhala kochititsa chidwi.
Chochititsa chidwi kwambiri ndi mabuleki akuluakulu - 350mm kutsogolo ndi 330mm kumbuyo - ndikugwira kwa matayala a Pirelli P-Zero. V6 imagwirizanitsidwa ndi maulendo asanu ndi limodzi othamanga kuchokera ku Toyota, osinthidwa ndi Lotus. Kusuntha kumamveka ngati kosokoneza pakati pa koyamba ndi kwachiwiri poyamba, koma kudziwana kumathandiza kusintha kusintha.
Mukazindikira, mutha kutenga Evora molimba mtima kuposa momwe mumagwirira ntchito nthawi zonse. Sitinafike pafupi ndi malire apamwamba kwambiri a galimoto. Komabe, ngakhale popanda masewera amasewera, amakhalabe osangalatsa kwambiri.
Palibe kukayikira kuti Evora akuwoneka ngati Elise wachikulire. Itha kukhala ndi ndalama zokwanira kukopa ogula ena kuti achoke kumitundu yodziwika bwino yaku Germany. Ndi Lotus yatsiku ndi tsiku yomwe mutha kukhala nayo.
