Lotus came out with a new GT410 Sport model that
officially replaces the older Evora Sport 410, while also drawing from the
GT430 to provide drivers with advanced aerodynamics and a sleeker silhouette.
Like Lotus' GT430, the GT410 Sport comes with new
composite front and rear body panels, and while it doesn't have any of the high
downforce elements of its track-focused sibling, it still generates 50% more
downforce than its predecessor.
Powering the Evora GT410 Sport is a supercharged
3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine, producing 416 PS and 420 Nm of torque from 3,500 rpm. It also has a dry weight of just 1,256 kg. The result of this is a 0 to 96 km/h acceleration time of just
3.9 seconds for the automatic version, and 4-seconds flat for the manual.
The GT410 Sport also has a power-to-weight ratio of
326 HP/tonne and a top speed of 305 km/h. Grip comes courtesy of
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, while the ultra-light, low-sideload springs
and Bilstein sports dampers are all fitted as standard.
Lotus will also give you a touring suspension
package as a free optional extra, featuring non-adjustable dampers and Michelin
Pilot Sport 4S tires. Customers from European and Asia Pacific markets can
already place their orders for the new Evora GT410 Sport, while those living in
the U.S. and China will have to wait until the summer.
Whereas UK buyers will spend upwards of £ 85,900 for
it, those living in either Germany, France or Italy will have to fork over
€ 110,900, € 111,900 and € 116,000 to Lotus respectively.
