“Is it always wise to customise? If you must, then do it with some style …” So goes the intro to Lotus’ brief release on its upcoming offering that will be showcased in Geneva.

The car in question is the Evora, and the company is quick to point out that the car going to the show isn’t an Evora facelift, but “a taste of the future of Lotus product customisation. Merely the first toe in the water and a showcase of the potential future.”

Turns out that the Evora has been given a cosmetic reworking by aftermarket tuning outfit Mansory, which has done a fair number of mods on upmarket cars, some in a rather over-the-top manner.

That’s not the case with the Evora by Mansory, which displays enough carbon-fibre to wage a little war with, but all delivered in clean enough fashion. The roof, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirting as well as front splitter all get the carbon graphite treatment. No idea what the interior’s like, but you can bet there’s more of the stuff to be had inside.

Geneva will reveal all.

    You know, this is Masonry, who come with hideous Bugatti Veyron makeover. This on the hand, is really pretty. But the photoshop really suck. I bet Theo would be able to come with something far more superior.

    Is is just me or is that a rather poor photoshop job? The carbon fibre areas were overimposed, and it can be seen by those vertical stripes running down the carbon fibre areas.

  • by making the roof lighter,this would surely make the car centre of graviti lower, thus making in more agile in terms of handling. smart.
