What a day it had been at Lotus showroom. Though there was not much to be seen, the sight of a ferocious looking beast waiting to unleash its hidden power is satisfying to the eye of this writer. Pictured above is Lotus new model, christened the Evora 400. Well, technically it is Evora S with steroid coursing its vein.
What does that entail? Pop open the rear bonnet and you will be greeted by that gorgeous looking 3.5 litre supercharged Toyota V6, the same engine found on the Evora S, but Lotus fiddled with it to raise its output from 345 horsepower to 400 horsepower as implied by the '400' in its name.
All those powers are sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. If you wish to be in charge of cog swapping, fear not as a six-speed manual is also available.
With such ginormous power in disposal, large brake discs will keep this car from wrapping itself around a tree.
There is nothing more satisfying than glancing in your rear view mirror, greeted by that roaring 'blown' V6 propped up just behind your rear windshield.
