The new 2010 Lotus Evora will be released just in time for those big shot CEOs that got a taste of the economic stimulus (and I’ll be willing to bet many of them will use the money on something like this, for “business”).

It broadens the field of sports automobiles with a new concept: more head room without sacrificing power and style. When compared to earlier Lotus models (Elise, Exige) the Evora has a total of nearly two feet added to the length of the frame.

What makes the Evora increasingly more imaginative is the fact that all that extra room is given to the passengers in the back, which means no more tiny seats in the back. Now thanks to Lotus a total of four passengers can fit comfortably inside such a beast and have the ride of their lives.

The Evora borrows technology from the earlier Elise and Exige models and also offers its own unique features without straying too far off the Lotus path. Special features include a hydraulic assisted steering column, a unique front and rear sub-frame (which is designed to collapse and absorb impact in an accident to keep passengers safe), an especially rigid chassis, smooth suspension system, and touch-screen navigation with full iPod connectivity support. Unlike previous Lotus models, the Evora also includes a glove box and a huge trunk space for a sports vehicle measuring at 5.7 cubic feet.

The Lotus Evora is equipped with a 3.5L V6, that sports 276 hp at 6,400 rpm, combined with 252 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm. The Evora can go from 0-60MPH in 5 seconds flat and gets a decent 25MPG while doing so.

One of these bad boys will set you back $75,000 (the established base price) and will not be available until January 2010.
