Lotus Evora 2011 - Engine Bay Ventilation

Engine Bay Ventilation
Various intake and outlet vents are provided in the rear body
to allow ventilation and cooling of the engine bay.
- Intake vents ahead of the rear wheelarches provide ambient
air for the engine air intake, and for engine bay cooling.
- Outlet grilles around the top of the tailgate panel exhaust
hot air from around the catalytic converter at the front of the
engine bay.
- An outlet grille at the base of the tailgate glass, and to either
side, exhaust hot air from around the catalytic converter at
the rear of the engine bay.
CAUTION
When the engine is running, or when stopped after a fast run,
beware of the potential for very hot airflow from these vents and
the corresponding high surface temperatures of surrounding
body panels and components.
