More Photos of the Most Powerful Lotus Ever: The Evora GTE

Lotus has just released some more photos of their most powerful model yet.
The Lotus Evora GTE first arrived in concept form at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August and then came to the Frankfurt International Auto Show in September as a production car. The racer boasts the most power ever for a production Lotus model and in these new photos released by the British automaker, looks stunning in its yellow and black track-day outfit.As previously reported by CarBuzz, the Evora GTE gets 438hp out of its racing-inspired 3.5-liter V6.

The motor is matched to a bespoke automated manual transmission. This is the same V6 that is currently equipped on the Evora S. Lotus has given the Evora GTE an egregious amount of carbon fiber fitted in both the interior and exterior for weight saving measures.The carbon fiber rear wing, doors and both bumpers have in fact saved the street-legal racer over 165lbs. It sits on a set of forged lightweight alloy wheels.Check out the photos of the new Lotus Evora GTE racer below.
