Lotus Already Planning High Output, Convertible Evora?

We’ve seen plenty of images of the upcoming Lotus Evora rounding the ring with its test mule camo on, so it was a bit shocking to see the car back in its natural habitat sans disguise. Lotus debuted the car last month at the British Motor Show in London, but apparently has some more fine tuning to take care of before it offers the Evora up for sale to the public early next year.

In addition to working out the new car’s kinks, Lotus is said to be using data from the Nurburgring as a jumping off point for two new planned varients of the Evora. A convertible version of the sexy 2+2 is likely a must after the initial model goes on sale, and expect that a high performance – perhaps supercharged – version to be available at some point as well. Adding forced induction to the Toyota 3.5-liter V-6 unit that powers the Evora could easily net as many as 400 horsepower, and an absolutely smoking performance machine.
