Evora 400

Compared to most cars the Evora 400 is a stripper with little regard for comfort, but the wizards working at Lotus think more weight can be saved. Having applied their considerable nous to a new set of options, engineers at Hethel have shed a further 42 kg (93 lb) from the car.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lotus' factory founding, ​the British automaker is producing an exclusive Hethel Edition of the 4.1-second 0-60 mph Evora 400. The car commemorates Lotus founder Colin Chapman's historic move to the former RAF Station Hethel southwest of Norfolk in 1966.
