The new model is scheduled to go on sale in May, and the first rumors of a Lotus Evora convertible have started to appear. Apparently, the Lotus Evora convertible will hit the market in 2011 and will be powered by the same 3.5-litre V6 engine that will develop 276 hp. With this engine, the Lotus Evora convertible will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 5 seconds and will have a top speed of 250 km/h.
The Lotus Evora convertible will probably be a soft-top to save the weight of an electric folding mechanism that will be required by a hard-top. The Lotus Evora convertible will have a stiffer chassis and will have the same handling and performance level as the hard-top.
No word on the Lotus Evora convertible price, but the current model is priced from 61,189 Euros.
