Evora GT Tuning: Power & Compliance

 We have been working on a '20 Evora GT to increase power but also improve handling for this client.  He wanted better front end grip and more compliance for the rough tracks that he frequents.  We received the car and started our upgrades and tuning.

Power

We installed parts from Komo-tec along with sending out the SC for a port and polish.  A slightly smaller pulley was also installed along with a Cold Air Intake, Headers, Sport Cat. and Sport muffler.  Brent came down to tune the car once we had the upgrades installed.  We were able to get the car up to 450rwhp on a local dyno, which translates to about 500hp at the crank!  We believe this is the only 500hp Evora in the US running a stock ECU.


Handling

The owner of this car has a fair amount of experience driving race cars.  He loves this car but felt the front end was not gripping the way he wanted.  He also wanted more compliance to absorb bumps and rough sections.  We sourced a set of Nitron Triples and he secured new upper wishbones to be able to add more negative camber.

Nitron stopped by to see the install and we were able to optimize the routing of the hose and reservoirs. We used our V2mounts to make securing the reservoirs even better.  Dialing in the ride height went well with the client requesting 5mm more rake than stock.  The car's ride height was dropped more than stock.  We were able to add much more negative camber as well thanks to the wishbones.

Supercar Performance

She drives great with excellent compliance.  The turn in is excellent and grip superb.  The power is also very good.  This combo on an Evora 400/GTs is pretty impressive.  I think it is a perfect supercar combination!  These Evoras may be the hidden trackday gem that many people don't realize exists!
