Understandably so, the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show has caught the attention of the entire industry. But for those that really pay attention to the calendar, another major auto event will take place this coming weekend that nobody should be sleeping on. The 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. One model that’s expected to be in attendance is the new Lotus Evora GTE Road Car Concept. The car was born out of the Evora GTE race program, the very same people behind the racing pedigree of the mid-engined, 2+2 sports car with races all over the world, including the legendary 24 Hours at Le Mans. Complete details of the Evora GTE Concept won’t be unveiled until this weekend, but from what this photo is showing us, it looks us it’s been heavily modded with an aggressive front splitter to go with a U-shaped rear spoiler and a set of forged alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tires. Meanwhile, the interior is said to carry plenty of leather and carbon fiber trims, as well as composite Recaro racing seats. As for the engine, the concept car is said to carry a race-tuned 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 420 horsepower and is mated to a sequential transmission. That’s as much as we have for the Lotus Evora GTE Road Car Concept. Rest assured, we’ll have more details as soon as the car breaks cover at Pebble Beach later this week. UPDATE 08/18/2011: Lotus has released more images of the Evora GTE Road Car ahead of its Pebble Beach debut. Check them out in the gallery provided! .

 Wow, the speed performance of the car is quite impressive! The 2+2 sportscar offers of the Lotus. I really love the detailing of the car. I bet this vehicle would sell like hotcakes once out in the market.
 What the hell! The newer face of the car is quite impressive. I love the sportiness of this vehicle. Plus, the power output of the v6 technology has an awesome power output! I want them to pursue this concept car.
 Just after the Frankfurt Auto Show will be the Pebble Beach. I will mark my calendar not to forget this one. By the way, what will be the exact date of this event? Top Speed must now release that information because people will surely look for that.
 Well, I wonder if that’s the actual design of the vehicle? And I was thinking if this is a racing car? The speed performance of the car is quite impressive for me. It’s a good thing that Lotus still have a continuous production for this one.
 I don’t like the styling of the car especially the front. However, I was impressed with the power output of this vehicle. It seems that the carbon fiber material used in the car really helps to gain an awesome engine performance.
