Lotus 340R

Automobiles

The Lotus 340R is a limited edition sports car that Lotus Cars built in 2000 at its Hethel factory. It began as a concept car shown at the 1998 British International Motor Show and became a special edition of the Lotus Elise. Exactly 340 were made, and all were sold before they were built. It has a custom built bodyshell with no roof and no doors, and most cars came in a silver and black colour scheme. Special Yokohama A038R tyres were developed for it. The engine is the four-cylinder 1.8 litre Rover K-Series in its very high power form, giving 177 brake horsepower, or 187 with optional Lotus accessories. The standard car reaches 60 mph from rest in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 133 mph.
