Lotus Evora 410 is the latest car to come out of Lotus Exclusive,
the company’s in-house personalization department. In case you’re still
wondering which model that is, we’re talking about the Lotus Esprit S1 as seen
in the Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ which is currently celebrating its 40th
anniversary.
The Lotus Evora 410 is currently the most potent
version of the series, powered by a 3.5-litre V6 pumping out 410 hp mated to a
six-speed manual gearbox, enabling it to hit 96 km/h in just 3.9
seconds.
The one-off example features many unique touches,
including a black-and-white livery with a color-coded front bumper and a rear
one-piece carbon tailgate, a bespoke badge script on the B pillar in the same
font of the original Esprit, a cabin lavished in heritage tartan fabric with
red stitching and an Alcantara dashboard.
Lotus claims up to 64 kg of real downforce
is delivered from the Evora 410’s aero agenda in order to further boost its
performance, both on road and on track. The bodywork features real carbon-fiber
parts, including the front splitter, revised front access panel, roof section,
tailgate, rear quarter panels, as well as the rear diffuser.
Lotus has capped the production of the Evora 410 to
just 150 units per year and is currently getting ready to launch their North
American version, with the car expected to be introduced this spring.
