Lotus Cars Australia has released price and specification details for a new flagship within its range: the Lotus Evora GT410 range.
Available in two versions – the GT410 and the GT410 Sport – the new pairing can be had in six-speed manual or six-speed automatic guise.
Pricing starts at $189,990 (plus on-road costs) for the manual Evora GT410, while the stick-shift Evora GT410 Sport stars at $194,990 (plus on-road costs). The automatic option is a $4000 premium on either car.
Under the bonnet resides a Toyota-sourced 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine, offering 410 horsepower (306kW) and 400Nm. Mated to either transmission gearbox, the engine returns a 0-100km/h time of 4.2 seconds and a top rated speed of 300km/h.
Manual cars feature a Torsen limited-slip differential.
The Lotus Evora GT410 and Evora GT410 Sport feature four-piston AP racing callipers at each corner, clamping 370mm discs up front and 350mm discs at the rear.
Whereas the regular GT410 gets a ‘touring set up’ for its Bilstein dampers, the Sport differentiates itself with firmer Bilstein dampers and Eibach spring. The Sport is shoes with sportier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber, while the regular car wears Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
In addition, the more comfortable version boasts cruise control, heated seats and rear parking sensors, along with an infotainment system with a reversing camera and satellite-navigation.
“The new Evora GT 410 brings a two-tiered Evora line-up to the Australian market, giving customers more options to design an Evora to suit their needs,” says Lotus Cars Australia chief Lee Knappett.
“While it retains the exciting dynamic qualities of the GT 410 Sport, the GT 410’s strength is in its enhanced grand touring and daily drive capability.
“With the Touring suspension package, more road-oriented tyres and a focus on interior comfort, the Evora GT 410 is a car you can enjoy as much on the work commute as the race track.”
