Engine Special Features
The 3.5 litre V6 engine of the Lotus Evora uses chain driven
twin overhead camshafts for each cylinder bank to operate four
valves per cylinder via a Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing
- intelligent) system. The engine also features direct ignition
with individual spark plug mounted coils, ACIS (Acoustic Con-
trol Induction System) and ETCS-i (Electronic Throttle Control
System-intelligent). These control functions contribute towards
improved engine performance, fuel economy and reduced ex-
haust emissions.
The Evora S engine is uprated by the fitment of a Harrop
HTV1320 supercharger (utlizing Eaton TVS Technology
TM
).
The exhaust silencer fitted to the Evora S utilizes an active valve
designed to reduce the back pressure at high rpm by opening a
by-pass valve allowing the engine to safely generate full power
(also see page 93).
