As part of the high-paced track action, the Evora 400 managed to reach and impressive 260 km/h top speed without breaking a sweat. After all, it can reportedly keep on accelerating all the way through to 300 km/h.
Providing all of this performance is an uprated version of the Evora S’s supercharged 3.5-litre Toyota V6 engine. It now delivers 400 hp, a 16 per cent increase. Torque is now 410 Nm and the British marque has confirmed it will sprint to 96 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 300 km/h. The Lotus Evora 400 is also 22 kg lighter (1415 kg’s total) than the Evora S with the ability to lap the test track at the Lotus Headquarters in Hethel 6 seconds faster than the previous generation Evora.
