Lotus Evora 400 Revealed: More Power, More ‘Lightness’

Lotus’s promised Evora upgrade is now in the open and, while it’s not the extensive facelift some had expected, it’s got plenty to offer.

Revealed ahead of its Geneva debut, the Evora 400 is the product of a special program that saw a special team tasked with stripping down the regular model in the hunt for every possible means of improvement.

The Evora 400, Lotus boss Jean-Marc Gales said today, is “a true supercar for today whose looks and performance can only be matched by cars costing much more”.

Headlining those improvements is a change hinted at in the new model’s name, with power in the Toyota-sourced and Lotus-fettled 3.5 litre supercharged V6 boosted to 400bhp - just over 298kW.
