This new car is the fastest Lotus approved for public driving. On the demanding race track of Hethel in East England it is again 2 seconds faster than the 3.Eleven produced since 2015. Power and torque have been improved, making it 10 km/h faster and accelerating to 100 km/h in 3.1 instead of 3.2.

An assembly made of carbon is attached to the chassis made of extruded aluminum profiles and sheets using adhesive and riveting methods. The body has no roof or doors. Only the space for front passenger can be covered. But do not worry, there are only 20 copies available worldwide.

The new car is a reminiscence to the 70 years of company history and it reminds together with its predecessor to the Eleven from 1956. Of course this one had a racing cockpit with an open cockpit and a covered passenger seat, too.

Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales emphasizes the close link between racetrack and road, for which this 3-Eleven 430 sets an example. He settles this performance in a higher price range. Lotus is again faithful to its lightweight construction, emphasizing the 5 kg less compared to its predecessor and refering to the carbon as 'visibly woven'. Of course, less weight and more power at the same time, can be expressed in more power-weight performance even more spectacularly.
