路特斯近日公布了Evora Sport 410细节，该车搭载了一台由丰田提供的3.5升V6引擎，功率比Evora 400提升了7千瓦/10马力至306千瓦/410马力@7000转/分，扭矩410牛米@3500转/分。同时，该车重量降低了70公斤以上，这主要得益于它采用了碳纤维材质，在选装了钛金属排气系统（重量降低10公斤）后净重降至1270公斤。由于车重降低，该车0-96公里/小时加速时间仅需3.9秒（搭配六速自动变速器），比Evora 400缩短0.2秒。如果配备六速手动变速箱，加速时间为4秒。该车手动版最高时速300公里，自动版最高时速从280公里提升至285公里。虽然410的外观与400差别不大，但前者的车身气动布局进行了改进，下压力增加了一倍至64公斤，更有助于车辆高速行驶。该车每年仅限量生产150辆，目前已经在欧洲和其他市场接受订单，明年夏季在美国上市。

Lotus details Evora Sport 410 and confirms U.S. launch for summer 2017
It’s going to take a while until the Hethel-based niche marque will have all-new models to offer, so until then Lotus is upgrading its existing cars by infusing more power and slashing weight. Case in point, the Evora Sport 410 uses an evolution of the Toyota-sourced supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine developing an extra 10 hp (7 kW) compared to the Evora 400 for a total of 410 hp (306 kW) at 7,000 rpm. As far as torque is concerned, it has remained the same at 302 pound-feet (410 Newton-meters) delivered from 3,500 rpm.

At the same time, it’s also more than 70 kilograms (154 pounds) lighter thanks to the use of carbon fiber and has a remarkable dry weight of just 1,270 kilograms (2,800 pounds) when fitted with the optional titanium exhaust system cutting 10 kg (22 lbs) of the fat.

As a result of losing weight and gaining muscle, the Evora Sport 410 runs to 60 mph (96 kph) in as little as 3.9 seconds when fitted with the six-speed automatic transmission, making it two tenths of a second faster than the Evora 400. Stick to the six-speed manual gearbox and the sprint will take four seconds, but you’ll have more fun in the process. Should you have a place where to take the car to the maximum, top speed has increased a little bit from 186 mph (300 kph) to 190 mph (305 kph) in the case of the manual and from 174 mph (280 kph) to 177 mph (285 kph) for the automatic model.

It might not look all that different compared to the Evora 400, but the more hardcore version has been subjected to a wide variety of aerodynamic tweaks to double downforce to 64 kg (141 lbs), thus helping the car reach higher top speeds.

Lotus will limit production to only 150 units per year and it’s already taking orders in Europe and other markets, with a U.S. version scheduled to go on sale in the summer of 2017.
