About the Lotus Evora GT430

Launched in 2017 as the most powerful road-going Lotus to date, the Evora GT430 is a track-focused evolution of the 400-series platform. It features a comprehensive carbon-fibre aero package, including a massive rear wing and front wheel arch louvres, generating 250kg of downforce at its 190mph top speed. The chassis is upgraded with two-way adjustable Öhlins TTX dampers and bespoke Eibach springs, providing a level of precision that rivals the best from Weissach. With only 60 units produced worldwide, it remains one of the rarest and most sought-after modern Lotus models.
