You can find out more details about the new Lotus Evora GT430 over at Lotus at the link below, the auto is available to order now and it costs £112,500.
Let’s start with what the Evora has been given more of, starting with the horsepower count.
Six-speed manual with Torsen-type limited slip differential, super lightweight forged aluminum wheels, as well as the signature lightweight credo are also on the menu.
That special Evora means a boost in power to 430bhp from the Evora’s 3.5 litre Supercharged V6 as well as new aerodynamic bodywork with new carbon fibre panels, bigger air intakes on the front apron, a new carbon fibre splitter and vents on the front wheel arches.
As a result, the vehicle develops 250kg of downforce at its 190mph top speed.
While there’s plenty that has been added on, Lotus hasn’t forgotten about its mortal enemy, weight. The GT430 tips the scales at just 2,755 pounds (1,258 kilograms) dry, which is a drop of 155 pounds (70 kilograms) compared to the 410 GP, meaning it’s also the lightest Lotus ever constructed.
Just 60 Evora GT430s will be built in Norfolk, costing £112,000, and this exclusive model comes dripping in carbon fibre.
Suspension is entrusted to ultra-lightweight, low-sideload Eibach springs and new Öhlins TTX two-way adjustable dampers with 20 click-adjustment compression and rebound settings, for an overall weight saving of 10kg over the Sport 410. Buyers looking for a more race-focused cabin can order Sparco seats, a titanium rear frame and four-point harnesses for both occupants.
There’s also an optional infotainment touchscreen system with sat nav, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, while Lotus offers nearly limitless personalisation options through its “Exclusive” programme.
Lotus is only going to build 60 examples of the Evora GT430, but the pricing has not been announced.
