Lotus Evora Type 124The Lotus Evora has been racking up awards. Aside from being quite the competent track car, the Evora offers quite the comfortable drive giving sophistication to the typically tradition of discomfort of super cars. So basically, the Evora is an every day super car.

Though one can argue that the Evora isn’t really a super car since it only packs a mere 276 bhp and doesn’t quite blitz straight lines in sub-4 seconds. In a race, drivers would have to drive hard, fast, and perfect for it to go toe-to-toe with other super cars.

However, Lotus is free to make changes from the stock Evora to make it more race worthy. Check out the Lotus Evora Type 124 Endurance Racer. For starters, the 124 packs 394 bhp and dropped 440 lbs, significantly increases the car’s power to weight ratio.

The powertrain has been upgraded to integrate a six-speed sequential gearbox with flappy-paddle shifters. The car’s equipped with a roll cage, long-distance fuel tank, race brakes and ABS, adjustable dampers and aero bits including a carbon fiber rear wing, diffuser, and front splitter.

The car is set to see action in 2010 to 2011.
