Concept cars (http://www.engadget.com/tag/concept+car) are like unicorns -- they're so prevalent and vaporous, they're hardly worth remarking upon. Every so often, though, one pops out into the ether that's really worth a second look. Lotus' Evora 414E Hybrid concept certainly fits into that category.This plug-in car boasts (or would boast, should it come into existence), 1.2 liter, three-cylinder engine, independent electric motors for the rear wheels, with a range of about 300 miles. The glass engine cover pictured above, however, is just one of the features we find ourselves double-taking here. The Evora 414E would also pack some 'vroom vroom' noises by way of its audio system to take care of the ever-pressing danger of silent auto engines (http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/pedestrian-safety-act-of-2009-to-investigate-the-dangers-of-sile/). The engine can operate on alcohol-based fuels or regular old gasoline, and the battery-only range is in the neighborhood of 35 miles. The Lotus Evora 414E hybrid will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.Lotus outs wild Evora 414E Hybrid plug-in concept car (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/lotus-outs-wild-evora-414e-hybrid-plug-in-concept-car/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:57:00 EST.
