2016 Lotus Evora 410 Unveiled – More Power, Less Weight

Lotus has turned up the performance wick on its Evora sports car by trimming kilograms from the already-lightweight model while adding power.

Unveiled almost concurrently with the arrival of the 2016 Evora 400 in Australia, the new Evora 410, as the name suggests, now has 410 BHP (306kW) with, coincidently, 410Nm of torque.

Toyota’s 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine with supercharger is still the powerplant of choice, matched with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Combine the extra power with a diet that has seen an impressive weight-reduction of 70kg, and the Evora 410 automatic can sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds (4.2 seconds for the manual), on its way to a top speed of 280km/h.
