IPS OPTION
The six-speed IPS - ‘Intelligent Precision Shift’ - system developed by Lotus is an option on both the Evora and the Evora S. In one way, IPS is Evora motoring at it’s purest. It adapts to your driving style, ensuring the car is in exactly the right gear at the right moment to suit every situation. You steer, accelerate and brake as normal; the IPS takes care of the rest. When you want more control a pair of paddle shifts sit behind the steering wheel - flip right to change up, left to change down. And to avoid sudden engine braking, IPS induces ultra-quick throttle blipping during downshifts to harmonise engine and gearbox speeds.The IPS’s driving modes are controlled from the centre console. Performance is characterised by smoothness, ride, handling and power delivery. Finally there is the Sport button. Engage it and you’re in performance mode as the IPS takes on a new lease of life, lifting the revs to an assertive growl, shifting gears faster and at higher revs. Sport mode applies in automatic as well as paddle-shift mode.
