Lotus has unveiled its Evora 414R Hybrid at Geneva 2010 following its teaser last week. The hybrid vehicle uses a plug-in series hybrid drive system with two electric motors driving each of the rear wheels independently via single speed geartrain, integrated into a common transmission housing. Additional range is provided by the Lotus Range Extender engine, an optimised 1.2 liter three-cylinder engine.
The Lotus Hybrid develops 414PS (306kW) and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (60mph) in just 4.0 seconds and has a range of 300 miles/483 kilometers.
