Lotus promised in February that the newly revealed Evora 400 could smash its predecessor’s lap record at the Hethel test track in England, and today the company has delivered.

Completing its record lap of the 3.5 kilometre track in the weeks before being unveiled, the 400 locked in a 1 minute 32 second time - a neat six seconds quicker than the Evora S before it.

“Our commitment to reducing weight to create a lightweight and efficient supercar has paid off,” Lotus boss Jean-Marc Gales said.

“The extra 55hp (41kW) in conjunction with the 22kg weight reduction and the tremendous traction from the limited slip differential (LSD) lead to benchmark handling”.

"Internally, we all knew that the Evora 400 would be capable of exceeding expectations,” he added.
