From: Western Canada, eh?
Still wouldn't stop me from getting one.
IMHO, if the engineers at Lotus didn't put one in stock, then it probably doesn't need one for most driving. (read - save some $$$ in production)
Also, most of the cars out now use the ABS/Traction control as a sort-of LSD. (I know - a poor solution)
Finally, it's a Toyota-sourced transaxle.... The guys at Quaife already have LSD's (about $1k) for all the other Lotuses out there. I'd bet they would have a fitment for the Evora about 1/2hour after they get their hands on one....

I can't imagine calling something a sports car in this day and age - even a practical sports car - and not putting in an LSD. And considering what those cars sell for...come on. Those should go to quaife for reconfigurable clutch types from the factory.
