The Lotus 3-Eleven is a sports car produced by British car manufacturer Lotus Cars. The car is available as a racing version as well as a normal road legal version.[1]
Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2015, it was launched in 2016 at a price of £82,500 for the road version (plus VAT) (£116,500 (including VAT) for the race version) and limited to a production run of 311 units worldwide.[2]
In February 2018, the road version received cosmetic and mechanical updates like the rest of the Lotus line up for the final run of production with engine power increased to 430 hp (436 PS; 321 kW) and performance similar to the race version. The upgraded car is known as the 3-Eleven 430.[3]
