This supercharged Lotus is a little yellow ball of fun

"We couldn’t help ourselves," Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales said of the new Lotus Evora Sport 410.
What did they do this time, you ask?
They made their Evora even lighter, of course...that's just what Lotus, the small, adorably financially woe-full British carmaker does, after all: they add lightness.
The newest Lotus model comes with the same 410 horsepower supercharged V6 found in the track-only 3-Eleven and oodles of carbon fiber, which makes it a whopping 70kg (154 lbs) lighter than the standard Evora.
Lotus claim the Evora Sport 410 will do 0-60 MPH in 3.9 secs and a top speed of 186 MPH. Production will be limited to 150 examples per year.
A North American version will be announced this year. The UK version will cost £79,900, or about $111,000.
A new Lotus is born ...
Lotus... well, an old Lotus, but now with lots of carbon fiber, ...
... some more, supercharger-induced horsepower ...
