    Lotus Evora: Story Behind The Name

    Jalopnik super friend Al Navarro was on hand to witness the Lotus Evora debut at LOG 29 and provide some background into the new svelte 2+2's name.

    This Has Nothing To Do With Portuguese Singers

    We've heard conflicting reports about the name, but Al was able to confirm the "E" stands for "Evolution," the "Vo" stands for "Vogue," and the "Ra" stands for "Ra the Sun God." Put that together and you come up with: "a vogue, evolved sun god everyone who buyers must worship."

    Either that or it stands for "Aura." We'll let you decide which one is more ridiculous. Hat tip to Al!
