Built to road spec, PHer BaronbennyT opted for green with yellow stripes and gloss black accents for his 3-Eleven, with some carbon fibre and Alcantara thrown in as well. Along with those a reversing camera was selected for added peace of mind when parking the car with a large roll hoop and spoiler into a tight space.
The reason for choosing the 3-Eleven is quite simple really; BaronbennyT took his brother's 2-Eleven for a drive from Goodwood and found the experience to be a "sensory overload". Taking the 3-Eleven demonstrator from his local dealer around Surrey was apparently one of the best drives of his life and he couldn't order one quick enough...
Limited to 4,000rpm for the first 600 miles Ben says that the car is too fast for the road and more suited to the track, likening the experience to "a 400hp go-kart that doesn't oversteer as readily".
It didn't take long for Ben to take it on track with visits to Goodwood and Castle Combe already ticked off. What's it like? An Exocet missile, according to him! Congratulations BaronbennyT, your Lotus 3-Eleven is our Reader's Car of the Week.
