Lotus
340R
The
Lotus 340R was a special edition version of the Lotus Elise. Just 340 examples
of the 340R were built, and all were sold before they were manufactured. The
Lotus 340R uses a custom built bodyshell with no roof and no doors. All 340
cars came with a silver and black two-tone color scheme. Special 'A038R' tyres
were developed for the 340R in collaboration with Yokohama. Power for the 340R
comes from a tweaked version of the Rover K-Series engine used in the regular
Elise which produces 177 bhp (131 kW) as standard, or 190 bhp (142 kW) with
optional Lotus accessories.
