Lotus Cars is delighted to announce the prices
of the new Evora 400. The latest supercar from Lotus combines
high performance with the legendary Lotus benchmark handling and
is lighter, more efficient and dynamically better than ever,
providing a purer driving experience.
UK prices will start from £72,000 (for other markets, see table
below). For this price the car benefits from a high level of
standard specification including 370 mm composite two piece
brake discs from AP Racing, a Limited Slip Differential,
automatic air-conditioning and infotainment system including
satellite navigation. In addition to this, the options list
includes automatic transmission at £2,000, Alcantara or Leather
trim upgrades at £2,500 and metallic paint at £900.
A “Black Pack” option, available at £1,250, provides a
distinctive look, with selected exterior panels including the
roof, sills and centre section of the three-element rear wing in
gloss black and a dark headlining in the interior. Lightweight
forged alloy wheels can be fitted for £2,000 and cruise control
and yellow or black brake callipers are priced at £300 each.
Jean-Marc Gales, CEO, Group Lotus plc states: “We know that the
Lotus Evora 400 can deliver the performance of a car costing
significantly more and we are conscious that the pricing is
highly competitive. Yet, the greatest merit which no other
sports car or supercar can deliver is a peerless Lotus driving
experience.”
Jean-Marc Gales concludes: “The Evora 400 is the fastest
road-going Lotus that we have ever produced. It delivers
supercar looks allied to supercar performance and our global
dealer network of 179 dealers which will grow to 200 by the end
of the year is excited to be able to deliver this high
performing benchmark handling supercar to the ever growing
customer waiting list.”
The new Lotus Evora 400 laps the Lotus test track at Hethel six
seconds faster than the previous Evora S in a time of 1 minute
32 seconds. Combining high performance with the legendary Lotus
benchmark handling, it is faster and dynamically more capable
than the previous Lotus Evora leading to greater agility and a
more involving drive.
Maximum speed is 186 mph (300 km/h) and acceleration 0-60 mph is
just 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds). Over two thirds of
the Lotus Evora 400 is new, including its supercharged and
charge-cooled mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 400
horsepower and 410 Nm of torque. A new aluminium chassis
incorporates a new interior and the lightweight composite body
has changed significantly both front and rear.
The new Evora 400, which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show
in March, will enter production for European markets in the
summer and deliveries will commence in August this year. North
American markets will receive the Evora 400 as a 2016 model year
in December, with China taking first deliveries in early 2016.
