The Lotus Evora 410 may have recently taken the crown from the ‘regular’ 400 in terms of power, but there’s no doubting the lesser model is still the epitome of an addictive sports car with a stunning powertrain and an oh-so-sweet chassis.
As the name of the Evora 400 suggests, it produces some 400 hp and 410 Nm (302 lb-ft) of torque courtesy of a 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine situated right behind the passenger cell. When combined with a 1,395 kg kerb weight, this engine propels the 400 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a scarce 4.1 seconds and onto a 186 mph (300 km/h) top speed.
As this short video proves, those elements join forces to create a screaming mid-engined sports car that’s right at home on the race track.
Other components which make the Evora 400 so capable on track include its limited-slip differential as well as a set of 370 mm (14.5 in) composite brakes courtesy of AP Racing.
Despite its track-tuned nature, the sports car is still suitable for road use and remains a true rival to the Porsche Cayman.
