RC:
Any technical details? Thanks for the pictures.
not much technical info has leaked, only this so far:
The Evora Enduro GT Concept has been developed by Lotus Motorsport under the expert eye of Lead Designer Nicola Scimeca.
It's the base car for Lotus' GT2/GTE Le Mans challenger. In an earlier GT4 Endurance variant, this car enjoyed phenomenal success in it's first few outings with a recent podium finish in the hands of Nigel Mansell's sons Leo and Greg at the Dubai 24 hour race.
I'll complement this as soon as I know more.
