Heralding a new generation of Lotus high performance sports cars, Lotus has unveiled the company’s quickest and most expensive series production car ever, the 3-Eleven.
Designed as an uncompromised manifestation of the Lotus spirit, the new car is focused on providing an undiluted driving experience, and underlines the company’s ability to deliver legendary handling and blistering speed. Working on the concept of less is more, and keeping close to Lotus’ track roots, the dramatic new vehicle features an all-new lightweight body, with an open cockpit design and a revised V6 supercharged engine developing 450 hp.
Two variations of the Lotus 3-Eleven will be available: Road and Race; both delivering an impressive combination of high performance, agility and precision. Based on the Road version, the Race includes a more aggressive aero kit, a sequential gearbox and an FIA approved driver’s seat with a six-point harness. It’s capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds before reaching a maximum speed of 174 mph for the Race version and 180 mph for the Road version
