2016 Lotus Evora 400 Video, First Look
Lotus looks like it will finally turn the corner after years of turmoil and uncertainty.
At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the British automaker unveiled its fastest and most powerful model yet: the Evora 400. The convertible sports car cranks out 400 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque from its 3.5-liter supercharged V6 engine, which is 55 more HP and 7 more lb-ft of torque compared to the last Evora model.

It may also look similar in appearance to its predecessor, but Lotus claims that over two-thirds of the Evora 400 is brand new and weighs 49 lbs less. It’s also slightly longer at 173 inches, 1.4 inches more than the Evora we see offered today. North American enthusiasts will have to wait until this fall for the Evora 400 to join the lineup while European markets will get to enjoy the sports car this summer.
