So much want

[Toltec]

I like it, but I'm glad it is a bit OTT as it means I'll still be happy with a 400 as an everyday road car once I'm in a position to get one.

If you're having trouble with the url here's a summary:

Press Blurb said:

Underpinned by the company’s acknowledged eminence in lightweight engineering, and at a new benchmark weight of 1,258 kg (dry), or just 1,251 kg with the specification of ultra-lightweight magnesium wheels, the Lotus Evora GT430 is the manufacturer’s most powerful and accomplished road car to date. With such performance, and all the marque’s chassis expertise, the new Evora GT430 delivers tremendous real-world speed and handling unheard of in its class.

Retaining a 3.5-litre supercharged and charge cooled V6, the car’s reconfigured engine produces in 430 hp (436 PS) at 7,000 rpm and 437 Nm (322 lbft) of torque from 4,500 rpm. The increase in torque is facilitated through the introduction of a gearbox cooler as standard, a feature which made its debut on the recently launched North American Evora Sport 410. As standard, the Evora GT430 features a titanium exhaust, cutting 10 kg from beyond the car’s rear axle and further amplify the car’s aural presence.

The substantial aerodynamic revisions introduce bodywork elements that boost the downforce of the Evora GT430, up to 250 kg at maximum speed of 190 mph (305 km/h). Developed through motorsport applications they focus on the management of airflow over, under and around the car. Making its presence felt at even moderate speeds, this increase provides harder and faster cornering as well as high-speed stability.

They are fantastic looking cars. I spotted a 410 the other day in a similar colour scheme. Might have drooled a bit.

I get "Access Denied".

Says "Access Denied" - Did somebody release it too early, cant find anything on the usual auto press sites.

Yes but why is the URL denied and why do none of the auto press sites have an article on it?

We're a touch ahead of the game, but I'm no longer press affiliated so have thrown caution to the wind. It's now on their Facebook page or have a look here: http://www.lotuscars.com/news/corporate/precision-...

Nice, how much ?

[RedAndy]

hate the wing.

love the rest though.

[dibblecorse]

That looks stunning, would love a go in one, must be mind bending with that engine / chassis combo .....

[RedAndy]

is it wider than standard then? looks it in the rear arch and the cutout at the front. but is it just a trick of angle/light?

Hmm "it’s already in line to be a true collector’s car"

Garage ornament, drivers and petrolheads need not apply. Not that I could afford one and stay married anyway.
