Tunning Options for Evora S

[steffg60]

Hi Guys,

Ill hopefully be having delivery of a 2013 Evora S next week.

What are the tuning options available for the car and what sort of prices am I looking at.

Also the side boards I've seen where are these available from?

Thanks

As far as I am aware Komotec in Germany engineer upgrade packages for these cars, and Hangar 111 fit them. They do a 390/410 hp upgrade and are or may have now developed a 420 hp package.

The torque increases significantly with the 410 and then the 420 package...so much so the clutch needs to be upgraded for this option.

From memory the packages are approximately £3.5k/£5k, and £7k.

I had my Evora S modded to the 390 package and it is a noticable improvement, and the fuel economy has improved aswell (a bit)! I am tempted to go further but one side of me knows that there is a law of diminishing returns, and the standard car is a very well balanced package. The 390 pushes this is in some situations (i.e. struggles to put the power down on occasion), so unless you are prepared to make suspension/tyre improvements or just like to drag race, I would leave it at that, but then maybe it does work ok?

Speak to Greg at Hangar 111

Hi,

thanks for that I think agree with you on going to far . Otherwise you end up rebuilding the car and also things that to wear quicker etc.

Mine will be a 2013 car is it worth fitting the inductions kit to it and again where is the best place to get it?

thanks

Your Lotus dealer can fit the barge boards, I had mine fitted by Murrays in Edinburgh. I'd have to check the invoices as I can't quite remember, but I think they were around £500.

Congrats on the car. You will love it.

Barge boards are available from lotus racing £295 plus vat. Excluding fitting.

Hangar 111 as previously said will talk you through engine upgrades.

You should also consider the warranty implications on a 2013 car though IMO.

You can't fit it to the S. The difference in the CAI (Cold Air Intake) will mess up the engine fuelling. The car runs near to its max tolerences with the standard setting. I've looked into this with Radium but they have said that although its fine for a NA car they cannot make one work on an S.
