Lotus has announced the pricing information its new Evora. Starting at $73,500, the new British rocket will use a 276-hp V6 sourced from Toyota. The motor will push the Evora to 60 in a tick under 5 seconds and get an estimated 30 mpg on the highway, albeit not at the same time. The option list of the Evora is short but offers some nice upgrades. Depending on your driving persuasion there is a Sport Package which offers an “enhanced throttle response and RPM limit” and cross-drilled brakes among other performance oriented options. If you’re more into the GT scene, the Premium Package features leather and other trim upgrades. Those two packages run in at $1,275 and $1,990 respectively. One option we’re watching closely is the $495 rear-view camera. Looking at the rear window of the Evora gives us the impression it just might come in a bit handier than titanium exhaust tips. Full press release after the jump.
