First Evora is Delivered to Customer
First Evora is Delivered to Customer
Matthew Melling of Twickenham, UK received the keys of a
Storm Titanium Lotus Evora from Luke Bennett, Director of
Lotus Cars Limited at the Lotus Headquarters where the
new mid-engined 2+2 sportscar is hand built.
Many Lotus dealers around the world have already received their demonstrators
and Lotus has, so far, received orders for the next 5 months of production.
Demand for Lotus’ award winning Evora has meant that 150 extra new
manufacturing staff have been recruited to support assembly operations in
Norfolk, UK, a very positive sign at a time when the global motor industry faces
huge challenges. Full production is expected to reach the maximum rate by the
end of November 2009.
Luke Bennett, Director of Lotus Cars Limited said, “It is quite an emotional time
to deliver the first Lotus Evora to Mr. Melling. The whole team has worked
incredibly hard to design, engineer and produce such a stunning and high
performing sportscar and it is a great feeling to hand over the keys to the first
customer today. The Evora has won many awards around the world already so
we are not surprised that there is high demand for the car and I am sure that
each customer who receives their car will be delighted with their purchase.”
Matthew Melling, a customer of Stratton Motor Company, in Norfolk said, “I was
determined to be the first in the world to get my hands on an Evora so with
Stratton Motor Company’s help, I laid down my deposit within seconds of the
order books being opened last year. I have read all the press reviews of the
Evora and am so excited about getting behind the wheel – what a great start to
September!”
