Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nWe got sneak peek of the first ever Lotus Hybrid<\/a> a couple of days ago, and now we’ve seen the Evora 414E Hybrid<\/a> in the metallic flesh. Just a slight refresher on the technology, the 414E makes 408 horsepower and a skull-popping 590 pound-feet of torque via electricity. <\/p>\n

That’s right, this is not your Prius-style hybrid. Like Chevy’s Volt<\/a>, the Evora 414E is an extended-range electric vehicle<\/a>. Meaning that it runs on batteries (for up to 35 miles) before a 47-hp three-cylinder engine kicks on to provide power. Also, instead of one electric motor, the 414E has two. One for each rear wheel. And since most of the time the car will be running off lithium-ion batteries, Lotus<\/a> is employing HALOsonic Internal and External Electronic Sound Synthesis systems to make the 414E sound like a “real” car. <\/p>\n

On the outside, the 414E looks like your “standard” Evora, except that this here show car is covered in faux-electric circuitry. Plus it’s painted in a gorgeous shade of matte copper. The real story though, is inside. Talk about Black and Gold<\/a>! Even if the Evora 414E Hybrid never makes it to production (we hearing it will in two to three years) we hope they offer those seats as an option. Yes, we’re odd people. Deal with it.<\/p>\n
