Yellow Paint Job Makes Us Want Lotus Evora 400 Even More
The Lotus Evora 400 is one hot sports car and it looks even hotter in yellow.
Arriving in the U.S. next year with a starting price of $89,900, the Lotus Evora 400 is the most powerful production Lotus ever built boasting 400 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque from a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. The British automaker claims that the Evora 400 has a top speed of 186 mph and a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.1 seconds. Although the Evora 400 looks a lot like the current model, Lotus says that two-thirds of the Evora 400 is new and the car is almost 49 pounds lighter.

Overall length of the Evora 400 has been increased 1.4 inches to a total of 173 inches and is considerably more powerful than the previous model’s 345 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Both a manual or automatic transmission is available on the sports car, with the manual coming standard with a limited-slip differential.
The company is reportedly working on a convertible variant of the Lotus Evora 400 with a pair of carbon fiber roof panels that will weigh just 6.6 lbs a piece. Lotus is also looking to expand its lineup by adding a performance crossover to its lineup as well as a more hardcore version of its 3-Eleven.
