At the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lotus' most expensive car in history - the Lotus 3-Eleven, the successor to the 2008 model 2-Eleven - made its world public debut. So it makes sense that it's also the fastest. It can be driven up to 290 km/h, and from 0 to 100 km/h it takes less than three seconds. It has an extremely light and all-new body, and there will be two versions available - one ready for racetracks and the other for normal roads.
Lotus 3-Eleven it is the most expensive and the fastest A Lotus car in the history of this brand (so far it was Evora 400). It drives him 3.5 liter V6 engine, which has 456 horsepower (336 kW) and 450 Nm of torque, from February 2016 and then they will probably produce everything 311 specimens. They will be available either in road (Road) either in racing (Race) versions. The latter will be even more aerodynamic, with a different gearbox (basically a six-speed sequential gearbox) and with sports seats made according to the dictates of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) with four-point seat belts. Like its road brother, it will have an open cabin.
The racing car will not be cheap, as you will have to shell out approx. 162 thousand euros, making it the most expensive Lotus to date and another sign that the British marque is steadily moving up the price scale. Version with homologation for driving on ordinary roads will be slightly cheaper, but the price will still be salted- 116 thousand euros.

The Lotus 3-Eleven is based on the model Exige, with an aluminum chassis, feather panels made of composite materials and weight under 900 kilograms (890 kg). No version as said it has no roof, which is why they can boast of many elements that contribute to better grip on the road- Ohlins shock absorbers, an adjustable "anti-roll bar" in the front and an Eibach wing suspension, and they also add their own 18-inch rims and Michelin tires Super Sort or Cup 2. There is no need to mince words about the interior, as this is not a car that puts comfort first. So it is only worth mentioning three-spoke steering wheel, a screen deep in the dashboard, the already mentioned sports seats and fire extinguisher.
