Lotus has introduced another model in the Evora lineup — the GT410 Sport. The new sports car borrows elements from the more powerful Evora GT430 to deliver a more aerodynamic performance that makes it a worthy successor to the Evora Sport 410.

The Lotus Evora GT410 Sport features the sculpted body panels of the GT430, which enhances downforce by up to 211 pounds — 50 percent more than the Sport 410.

The new sports car is powered by a 3.5-liter supercharged six-cylinder engine that produces 410 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It is able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.9 seconds when the engine is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox and four seconds operating with a six-speed manual transmission. Both models have a top speed of 190 mph.

This level of performance is attainable thanks to a light weight of 2,859 pounds. The use of a titanium exhaust and aluminum dampers drops the dry weight to just 2,769 pounds.

The Evora GT410 Sport comes standard with a sports suspension with Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers, as well as 19-inch wheels with Michelin Super Sport Cup 2 tires.

Available in two-seat and 2+2 configurations, the sports car's cabin features carbon race seats and door sill inserts as well as a black Alcantara trim and yellow accent stitching for the steering wheel, dashboard, door panels and center console.

Customers can also opt for Sparco race seats, lightweight forged wheels, satellite navigation, a reversing camera and a 7-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth capabilities. Lotus also offers an exclusive personalization program that allows the sports car to be configured according to the personal preferences of customers.

The Lotus Evora GT410 Sport is now available to order in Europe and Asia Pacific. It will arrive in the United States and China in the summer. The sports car has a starting price of £85,900, which is about $118,000.
