Car manufacturer Lotus launched its quickest production road car ever in Lotus 3-Eleven at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Heralded as the most expensive high-performance sports car, the Lotus 3-Eleven focuses on providing a pure driving experience with blazing speed.
Keeping close to the Lotus series style, the 3-Eleven boasts an all-new lightweight body with an open cockpit design and an improved V6 3.5-liter supercharged engine that is capable of delivering 450 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 332 lbs per foot of torque between 3500 rpm and 6500 rpm.
"To make a sports car better, you make it faster and lighter. The new Lotus 3-Eleven carries that philosophy to a new level," stated Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Scheduled for production in February 2016, the Lotus 3-Eleven's first deliveries will arrive in April and Lotus will only assemble 311 vehicles at a very exclusive price of £82,000 ($129,125) for the Road version and £115,200 ($181,405) for the Race version.
