Lotus says the 2010 Evora will arrive in North America in early 2010, with prices to be announced this fall. Production of the 2+2 sports car began last week, and European deliveries start in May.

Lotus says U.S.-spec Evoras will have pretty much the same equipment as their European counterparts. The 2010 Lotus Evora has a midmounted 3.5-liter V6 rated at 276 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 252 pound-feet of torque at 4,700 rpm. A six-speed manual gearbox drives the rear wheels, and a Bosch electronic differential lock helps modulate the power coming out of turns. An automatic transmission is likely to be a future option, the company says.

I’ve always had a soft spot for British Sports Cars.
