You May Not Remember The Lotus 3-Eleven, But It Could Be Your Perfect Track Toy

The Lotus 3-Eleven is often forgotten despite being one of the automaker’s most driver-focused models but if you can afford it, it could become your ultimate track toy.

Lotus only ever built 311 examples of the 3-Eleven and this example was purchased new by its current seller from Maserati Lotus Greenville in South Carolina. It is finished in metallic green with metallic yellow stripes and is up for sale through Bring a Trailer with 5,200 miles under its belt. It will be sold with spare brake rotors and pads, a custom car cover, service records, two keys, and a bill of sale.

Powering the 3-Eleven is a 3.5-liter Toyota 2GR-FE V6 that is supplemented by an Edelbrock supercharger pumping out 410 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque. This engine sends its power through a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential.

The 3-Eleven’s body panels are made from lightweight carbon fiber that have been painted metallic green with metallic yellow elements. Exposed carbon fiber elements include the fixed rear wing, rear fascia, side skirts, and front splitter. The listing notes that the car has been ceramic coated and there’s a paint protection film on the nose, lower rocker panels, and lower rear of the car. Moreover, it sits on staggered-diameter forged alloy wheels wrapped in 225/40 front and 275/35 rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

As Lotus transitions towards an electric future, limited-run models like this could prove to be collector’s cars in the coming years.
