Lotus Evora Sport 410 - Just a year after debuting the 400-horsepower Evora 400 , Lotus now reveals the Evora Sport 410, which sharpens the coupe even more. The Evora Sport 410's extra power and fewer pounds translate to improved performance. Lotus plans to build 150 Evora Sport 410s a year, but it's not clear whether that figure includes the North American specific model.
The Evora 410 gets a strict diet by shedding 70kg from the original 400. The Evora 410 also sits lower thanks to new springs and dampers, and like the Elise 250 Club , it gets Lotus' Dynamic Performance Management which grants Sports and Race drive modes. Well if you thought the Elise Cup 250 was exciting, here's the second very interesting addition to the Lotus range in as many weeks, the lighter and sharper Evora Sport 410.
Lightening strikes again: The Lotus Evora Sport 410
- 70 kg slashed from the weight of the Evora 400
- Comprehensive carbon fibre package as standard
- Increased power, reduced mass, sharper handling
With a host of high-performance carbon fibre components as standard, and sharing the 410 hp supercharged engine wîth the track-bred 3-Eleven, the Lotus Evora Sport 410 clocks 0-60 in 3.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 186mph.
The Sport 410 builds on the excellent work undertaken in the development of the Evora 400, itself a massive enhancement over the first generation of Evora. The Lotus Evora Sport 410 is the result of Lotus' philosophy of continuous improvement. Jean-Marc Gales added, 'The Evora chassis was already the best in the business - the Evora Sport 410 takes it to a whole new level'.
The high-performance, carbon fibre components have played the single biggest role in the evolution of the Evora Sport 410. The car's reduced kerb weight has allowed the recalibration of the suspension, wîth improved geometry and completely revised damping, as well as a ride height 5mm lower than the Evora 400. As standard, the Evora Sport 410 comes wîth carbon fibre sports seats trimmed wîth Alcantara®, along wîth the §teering wheel and centre console. A specific North American version of the Evora Sport 410 will be announced later in 2016.

The Sport 410 builds on the excellent work undertaken in the development of the Evora 400, itself a massive enhancement over the first generation of Evora. The significant drop in mass, and a power boost, means the Evora Sport 410 is capable of lapping the company's Hethel test track in 1 minute 28 seconds - an impressive 3 seconds faster than the Evora 400. The Lotus Evora Sport 410 is the result of Lotus' philosophy of continuous improvement. The high-performance, carbon fibre components have played the single biggest role in the evolution of the Evora Sport 410. These include front splitter, roof panel, tailgate, and rear diffuser as well as race-derived sports seats and a revised front access panel. Ultra light-weight, 10-spoke forged aluminium wheels, and optional Michelin Cup 2 tyres, complete the car's dynamic revisions.
