The Lotus 3-Eleven really looks like a seriously focused machine in this recent video of it tackling the Nurburgring. It makes a great noise, looks almost race car-like as seems to stick and launch itself out of corners very briskly.
This is a car about going fast, not being particularly flamboyant about it – it looks like you need to have an efficient yet fast driving style to make the most of it. The 3-Eleven is not a car you would want to go drifting and it could even be one of those cars that easily snap into spins once grip limit is exceeded.
Power for the 3-Eleven, the fastest road car Lotus has ever made, comes from a 3.5-liter V6 with 450 hp. It relies on a traditional six-speed gearbox but a stripped out Race model will be offered as well, and that will come with a sequential box only.
