Lotus Evora Sport 410: Minimum Weight, Maximum Fun - Carfection 

Lotus is now the most underrated car maker. If you are in the market for a sports car then please support Lotus.

Lotus is for serious driver... and there are not a lot in the real world. And that's sooooooo appealing ! I totally agree with you! Lotus next car for sure!

Always wanted a Lotus. On the list of cars to own one day. I do love the Evora from the rear...

I'm still not bowled over by the revised styling of the latest Evora, it seems a bit busy to me. But, that said, the attractiveness of the lighter weight, improved build quality, and added power (as well as improved handling) is undeniable. Oh, and I enjoy Alex immensely as a presenter; easily my favorite out there.

Your reviews are awesome man! I've watching for years now, keep it up. Cheers

good to see such a pure sportscar company finally has turned to profit !

Great review Mr G...it is both informative and entertaining you are phenomenal automotive journalist. Always look forward to your videos

A great driver's car to cointinue the tradition of Lotus Esprit 350 Sport which won all of its competitiors back then! I'd like to see 410 Sport to go against Porshe 911S.

It kind of looks like a miniature 488. not a bad thing though. keep up the good work, I adore xcarfection!

Now its time for Exige 380.

It reminds me of the og NSX. Before they went all techy with it

In the past I had the opportunity to test drive the earliest versions of the Evora and the Evora S. Awesome cars... and you drive this hottest Sport 410. I must say, I'm jealous :-)

this Lotus evora 410 is just incredible in Fast to! awesome

The car is amazing and u do a great job of all ur reviews👍

Sounds awesome!

One of the coolest cars in this moment.

Is it ever dry when you have a Lotus? Because i would love to see full sprint on a turn with this.

saw your 400 review nice this is even more focused of course its raining

Lotus is the last of the purest manufacturers. No gimmicks.

I had a few runs in the normal Evora around Sliverstone. I don't want to sound dickish but I found it intensely boring, this version looks so much better.

Lotus don't need to go mainstream, I love the fact that they are so rare and a true drivers car. Keep your 911s we don't want them!

Just cant get to love the looks of it, its like a throw back to the 90's.

Alex is the next Jeremy Clarkson

I love the Evora, it's a very pretty car.

Brilliant car!

Those wheels look sick

I love lotus. The engineering behind the brz is amazing because it has plenty of creature comforts but weights less.

what a car

I would say that the Evora is much more worth it than the Exige.

Will the 410 actually be sold in the US? Or the carbon pack for the 400? I'm hearing the carbon pack for the 400 is still not available in the states.

I'm yet to learn how to drive a manual car but a Lotus Evora 400 or a 401 with the manual is still my no1 dream car. Whatever anyone says, I simply love them.

The thing is its relatively not hard on the pocket book to get a used lotus the only thing is finding one. I find that weird because I feel like there is huge market ability for the cars

Will there be a hybrid variant of Lotus Evora 400 like there was for the previous generation Evora. Let's face it a Evora 400H would be pretty cool lol. It would certainly get my vote over the I8 an NSX if there was one.

Love Lotus, but they need to do something different. The Exige, Elise, Evora. Nice. But they also need to put out their new Esprit. The halo car. Something to knock the 911 lovers out of joint.

People relate this to the og NSX, but I see it as the present day interpretation of the Dino 246 GT Berlinetta.

Is this as fun as the Focus RS? No joke it looks amazing! :)

Awesome car. Does anybody know why there is so little of Lotus's reviews on YT? Chris Harris for example I can't recall he's ever done one. Or Autocar or Evo or whatever I was looking for Evora 400 review and I've found only Carfection I think some from Netherlands also.

Soo true. too true.

I want to see the Lotus Esprit built with the GT350 engine.

This or a Specials, & believe me this is it, it's like s supercar version of a Miata, = fun at legal speeds too. But with my salary offer lack thereof, generosity of my mom, from the allowance of a Tenant, that I deduct from her account for ease of use, vs ATM deposit. Even if do find work or successful entrepreneurship, it's not likely for me. However with these current crop of cars, my grown up fantasies far surpass my childhood ones & if Gran Turismo & thrustmaster comes thru, my simulator dreams br will be set good to. Good job your reviews are objective & with the a level of enthusiasm that doesn't amount to logic hindering bias, I like that, plus I been a Lotus fan since Isuzu Troopers with weird handling stickers. a little b research & wallah. That's how u transform a fine young chap into a Lotus fan

So this Evora 410 Sport is "one of the best" Loti ever. Which Lotus is The Best? Thanks!

Hi! This is a really nice Lotos! Looks great! Never liked Elise and Exige! But this car here is quite special! I would prefer satnav soundsystem! That silver plate looks stupid...

So wait, did they correct the horrible shifting? And what to get now, an Exige Sport 350 / 380 or this? And the speedometer is coming straight from a Clio 3 RS, no?

If they could make this interior available in the Exige and for sale in the US, that would be my dream car.

Goddammit, that's a beauty. Being 6'5" 245lbs., I wonder if I'd fit comfortably? I'd sell my E60 M5 for something like this. And, save a shitload when repairs/service time comes up, too.

epic sound at 5.20

What's a "spring rate"?

The first Lotus I covet & wished we got in America

i wonder what could that thing do with a dct...

Lotus should ditch 400, 410 nomenclature and adapt something more "personal" and historic connected to their roots. For example, and dont mind how bad it is, Lotus Evora 77 etc. 410 is simply not giving enough credit to show how exactly special or different it is. Not to mention you do not know with what you would compare it with. With Porsche RS or GTS... It needs to have own Aperta, own GT3 RS. Not 310, 320, 330...2nd Esprit does not need to be much bigger than Evora, hence redesign and using modified chasis might be quick win3rd Needs to utilize all modern hi-tech to reach out to wider range of people. Infotainment does not need to mean 40kg ekstra, but it would bring them closer to civilisation. Combine that with little work on shocks and you could have Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde easily.4th Toyota deal might be revisited and maybe they can get some newer engines. Like 3.4 L RV8KLM

I think the Lotus is a cool car, but you really have to take into account the kit car build quality, sparse dealer network, soft resale value and the fact that Lotus always seems to be one small step away from bankruptcy (how many owners have they had?) before you write a check of that size.

Does this car fall apart like other British cars?

Lotus is the last true sports car manufacturer. Honda need to find their way back and porsche need to get purer more often and less restricted to high payments. But lotus really does need some new shapes

I wish they came with an RB26 or a 2JZ for a much better sound. Not that this car doesn't sound great and all but those engines just sound soo great.

twice as much downforce on top speed, yet more than twice the downforce at 100mp.. How is that possible? great review as always!

isn't the lotus' test track the top gear's test track?

What EXACTLY did Lotus do to the 410 to give it that extra 10 horsepower? I can't find that answer anywhere.

Fastest Lotus? BOLLOCKS! What about the 3-Eleven, then?

Everytime I heard the word Fastest lotus ever made, then a new model released within several months. Faster than exige 350 doesn't mean it's a fastest lotus. Why don't you compare with exige 380? Evora 400 then 410, now 430. What's next? Evora 440? Exige 440? If just concerning the engine power and torque, I think what Lotus doing is just remapping the ECU, as the engine, supercharger are same, right?

You had hair?

They should have left the Exige naturally aspirated in V6 trim. I have no problem with the concept of a V6 Exige, but since it's supercharged and making similar power to the Evora, this otherwise brilliant car seems rather pointless in the context of the Sport 380.

I just dont understand why lotus doesn't change their interiors or make a car thats competes with a m4?

Lotus shd do a limited edition model with a styling house

If I wanted "extreme," meh, I rather have exige or elise. Isn't it built as a gt car? I can't find a reason why I should buy this one over exige.

3.5l v6 s/c making 400hp.. 2016. LOTUS likely to benefit from a better engine partnership. maybe I should drive it first, maybe the headline numbers are indicative. sale numbers are telling though.

10:00 Doesnt he look like a russian gangster

Lotus need a new esprit to compete with gtr, new supra, corvette etc.

3-11 next

car looks fine except the 1998 camry mirror

Even with the weight reduction, the Evora is not a light car. Not like the Exige or the Elise. it weighs over 3000lb for pete sakes. A LOTUS?

fastest lotus? what? Is this faster than the 3 eleven?

Evora 410 or a Cayman GTS?

Lotus produced great looking cars for years , everyone different . Then they switched to a Japanese look ! This one looks better .

4.1 secs 0-60 and Top speed of 190 mph... I'd take one

Still pretty heavy though.

Good excluding to over the world rising

now... if only TOYO was that smart to put an engine like that in the CAMRY, I think they would have a more younger mom and dad wanting to buy in.

Sadly, I never liked the styling of the Evora, probably because of the stunning looking Exige.

Only 410 bhp from a supercharged 3.5L V6...? Surely they can get a lot more out of it! Or dump it for a 2-2.5L 4 cylinder turbo and save even more weight!

❤️❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌👌💕💕💕💕

porsche boxster kills it

Love Lotus too, however, they'd step up their game making their own engines. Toyota may have much reason to use their power plants, I can't help but think that Lotus designing their own motors from scratch, they would not only save weight, they'd also be better. Toyota is too "standard" and Lotus IS better. I envision a "Lotus" engine having more power per cubic inch, better mileage, and a purpose built Lotus "heart" could be engineered to accept more boost. They could still compete with Toyota/Honda when it comes to practicality, for the most part. They could use direct injection, forged internals and you would require smaller displacement for similar power (higher compression, more boost) and a smaller fuel tank cause direct injection is the best. Tangent territory, but, engineering different cam profiles or boost options and/or final drive ratios would make Lotus customers leap for joy with a hard on. Plus an engine ready to accept five or six hundred horsepower would be a good selling point. That would justify the carbon fiber, a Toyota engine doesn't seem to in my humble opinion. (Haven't researched it though). Food for thought Lotus. The Evora Sport 410 seems amazing too, nice improvements. Hard to imagine a better design.

OK, Lotus very well. But you've been doing this 'increments' and variants of the same for years now. How about a proper STATEMENT. Looks like Aston will beat them to the punch (with all the RB cash to burn) with a real game-changer. Easier said than done, I know! But there exists now a void that the new NSX didn't fill, and Ferrari and Porsche have altogether abandoned, just waiting for Lotus to claim/own/dominate = the NA MT RWD mid-engine lightweight sportscar.

Don't get me wrong, I dig the Evora - but given its price point, a 991.2 911 Carrera beats this thing in every regard for 10k less and protected by Porsche reliability.

Saying 'kg' is just as easy as saying 'kilos'

70kg weight loss, but a heavy driver and u put that all back on XD

Lotus venom is the fastest lotus ever made

I think the Evora is the only Lotus after the Esprit that looks good. The others look like insects, and are pretty much just four wheels and a seat. The Evora is more of an actual car that you can drive.

I like the car but my only problem is that its not really British anymore

This thing is heavier than my Z4

no way lol, I thought the fastest Lotus was the Hennessey Venom GT

Yay,, stick shift

rather k24 elise

To be honest, I wanted to make fun of this car. No, I'm not bothered that it has a old Camry engine. I just hate it when car companies follow this simple recipe : Adds 5 or 10 bhp, removes a little weight, and jack up the price. Which, yes, in this case does help the Evora somewhat better for track purposes, I guess. Anyway, usually I get bored of this stuff, but for some reason, I'm turned on by this. {*Not like that.*}

'Fastest car they've ever made'.....until the next special edition...oh wait a minute...exige 380 ;-)

lotus trying to be a old shool v8 lotus... for maximum price :)

$108.000!? I'm out

lotus well known for breaking down constantly just check the owners forum. would rather have Alfa 4c it's faster and cheaper and better looking.

Fuck...my friend just buy Evora 400....after he see this,he mad and sell evora 400 and buy Mclaren 720S because 410 its little bit power and less weight

Do you know why the British don't make computers? They couldn't find out how to make them leak oil.
