Lotus has announced a new limited edition version of their 3-Eleven, the Lotus 3-Eleven 430, and there will be just 20 units of the car made. This exclusive release is set to captivate automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a blend of performance, design, and rarity that is hard to match.
Unmatched Performance
The Lotus 3-Eleven 430 is the most powerful iteration of the 3-Eleven series to date. It comes equipped with a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces an impressive 430 horsepower. This power enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.1 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars in its class. The top speed of the 3-Eleven 430 is a remarkable 180 miles per hour, ensuring that it delivers an exhilarating driving experience.
Advanced Aerodynamics and Lightweight Design
The new 3-Eleven 430 features a lightweight full carbon bodywork, which contributes to its overall weight of just 920 kg. This lightweight construction not only enhances the car’s performance but also improves its handling and agility. The car’s aerodynamic design has been meticulously optimized to increase downforce and stability at high speeds.
“With an increased performance envelope, the Lotus 3-Eleven 430 has also evolved its aero accordingly. Already noted for its high levels of downforce, the carefully optimized design integrates a higher mounted straight-cut rear wing (50 mm higher than the previous model) with re-profiled end plates, a long front splitter and lip spoiler, and a flat floor with rear diffuser to increase downforce by 44 kg to 265 kg at maximum speed.”
These aerodynamic enhancements ensure that the 3-Eleven 430 remains planted to the road, providing drivers with confidence and control even at its top speed.
Exclusive and Luxurious
The exclusivity of the Lotus 3-Eleven 430 is further emphasized by its limited production run of just 20 units. Each car is meticulously crafted to the highest standards, ensuring that every detail is perfect. The interior of the 3-Eleven 430 is designed with the driver in mind, featuring high-quality materials and a minimalist layout that focuses on functionality and performance.
In addition to its performance and design, the 3-Eleven 430 also comes with a range of customization options, allowing buyers to tailor the car to their personal preferences. From bespoke paint colors to unique interior finishes, each 3-Eleven 430 can be made truly unique.
