2010 Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid Sports Car Concept
This is the 2010 Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid, a new car that made its debut today at the Geneva Motor Show which aims to demonstrate how a hybrid car can have breathtaking performance from a highly efficient propulsion system. Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid is a full hybrid vehicle, which comes with twin electric motors.

The new 414E Hybrid uses a high performance drivetrain system consisting of twin motors each delivering 204 hp (152 kW or 207 ps – this inspired the name 414E) and 400 Nm (295 lbft) of torque to each wheel via independent, single speed, reduction transmissions. With these numbers the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds.

The Evora 414E Hybrid is a concept car that is equipped with a 7-speed transmission and two drive settings, including Eco and Sport. The vehicle is mainly maid in a copper color, which is used not only in the exterior but also interior of the concept, including the instrument panel, seat covers and brake calipers.

The new car can be charged via a typical household plug or the car’s onboard generator. An additional range is provided by the Lotus Range Extender engine, an optimised 1.2 litre, three-cylinder engine capable to deliver (48 ps/47 hp). The Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid has a total range of 480 km (300 miles) and can be driven as a fully-electric car for about 56 km or 35 miles.

Also, the car features HALOsonic Internal and External Electronic Sound Synthesis technologies from Lotus and Harman International, which means that it will provide sound contouring within the cabin and improve pedestrian safety outside the vehicle. The car comes with a sports mode that can simulate a 7 speed, paddle shift transmission combining exceptional driver involvement for a hybrid sports car.

The Evora 414E Hybrid is the perfect demonstration of Lotus Engineering’s core competencies: lightweight architectures, efficient performance, electrical and electronics integration and driving dynamics.

Porsche 918 Spyder
Let’s just get it over with and let out a collective gasp of envy: Porsche has officially unveiled details — and pictures — of a temptress on wheels, the 918 Spyder concept.
The unveiling comes as the Geneva Auto Show opens to media.
While the debut of any Porsche is a big deal, there’s more to this beautiful German sports car than just amazing curves: it’s got brains, too.
Believe it or not, the 918 Spyder concept is a plug-in hybrid car — albeit one that is faster than most dedicated, gas-guzzling super cars.
The open-top two seater packs a 500-horsepower V8 that revs to 9,200 rpm, plus a pair of electric motors in the front and rear that are good for another 218 horsepower. If I’m going my math right, this is a hybrid that packs over 700 ponies.
That kind of power, Porsche says, will catapult this thing from 0-60 mph in under 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 198 mph. The icing on the cake? The car can reportedly achieve the equivalent of up to 78 mpg.
McLaren will build only sports cars
On Thursday, the company announced details of the plan, which is obviously a way, among other things, for McLaren to fight with Ferrari off the track. The car, called the MP4-12C, will go on sale in late 2011 for between 125,000, or $191,127, and 150,000 pounds, The Associated Press reported.
‘‘Following any recession, there’s a resurgence,’’ said Dennis, who is the chairman of McLaren Automotive, at the company’s headquarters — and factory site — in Woking, south of London. ‘‘We intend to catch that wave.’’
The company aims to make up to 1,000 of the 12C cars next year, with up to 40 percent being sold in North America, the report said. The care will compete with the Ferrari 458 Italia, priced at around 170,000 pounds, and the Mercedes SLS AMG at around 145,000 pounds.
‘‘Our volumes are very much linked to how we see the recovery,’’ Dennis added. Production forecast to reach around 4,000 by the middle of the decade.
‘‘Although we’re investing hundreds of millions of pounds into these cars, we have no desire at all to be the biggest sports car manufacturer,’’ said Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive managing director. ‘‘In fact, we take great pride in being one of the most exclusive, and aim to keep it that way.’’
Dennis also wants to use the production of the cars as a way to ensure the company’s future, since F1 is so precarious as a business alone, and he quoted the fact that 101 Formula One teams have vanished since McLaren started on the circuit in 1966.
‘‘To stay solely and exclusively a Formula One team is almost going to surely lead to extinction,’’ he said, noting the company had already successfully moved into electronics, applied technology and marketing.
