A Gentle Reminder of Why You Want to Buy a Lotus

Lotuses are not cheap, and it's not like you get an exotic flat-six engine revving to 9000 rpm for your money. In fact, choosing the fastest Lotus ever made will result in getting a car with no stereo, no air-conditioning and no rear visibility whatsoever. Yet none of that matters, because the product is brilliant. It puts a massive smile on your face, and there's no going around that.

The US-legal Evora 410 is 154 lbs. lighter than the excellent Evora 400, or 176 lbs. lighter if you opt for the titanium exhaust. With its 410 supercharged horses and 310 ft-lb of torque, it will reach 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, hitting an aerodynamic wall at 190 mph. That's some serious speed, but what's even more important is the way it goes around corners. It does it like only a Lotus can, and that's a huge selling point. Porsches and the like might be better road cars and faster around certain tracks. But nothing does the job quite like a Lotus.
