Lotus Evora GTE Road Car Headed for Pebble Beach

 Not one to let a high-profile, high-dollar event pass them by, Lotus has just announced the vehicles that they will be bringing to the 2010 Pebble Beach.

First up is the 420 horsepower Lotus Evora GTE Road Car Concept. Inspired by the Lotus Evora GTE racer in the GT2 and LMP2 class, the Evora GTE Road Car isn't just paint, it's "a serious race car that makes for a very serious road car."

The race car uses a Toyota-based, Cosworth tuned V6 and an AMT sequential transmission. The wheels are forged alloy with center-lock hubs and the tires are Pirelli P-Zero Corsa. No word on what the road car will have, but this should be a very close approximation.

See it for yourself on the Concept Car Lawn during the Concours weekend.

Lotus is also bringing the Exige Matte Black Final Edition to Pebble. The limited-run final tribute to the Exige will be on display in Lotus' booth on Peter Hay Hill near The Lodge.

Wow, pretty cool. Lotus has invented a time machine to revisit the 2010 Pebble Beach - but there's only room for two.
