This is one step above 4C in both size and performance.

As to Cayman, this is 2+2... basically like 911 Carrera S but way more exotic.

Yeah 4C interior is full of meh plastics. Lotus did a great job on this interior revision

yep... Lotus interior up until now were crap... all about weight and no luxury... this one is great.

4C is also 4cly turbo, and much smaller vehicle... so no matter how light it is, cant escape the fact that it is 4cly....

they also added a lot of new stuff like side airbags, rear camera and sensors, smart key... they really brought it up to modern day.

Not even a 2.0L either. Tiny little 1.7L. Wonder if its derived from any of Fiat's MultiAir 4 bangers.

I hope the rumor of a 6C comes true with a FI 6.

I like it, and would love to have one. I will take mine in black with the red interior. Wonder how these will hold their value used?

if i remember correctly, Fiat has 1.7l turbo in Europe... so this is higher power version of it. It is pretty peaky if we read the reviews.

Lotus Cars will be opening in the Philippines within the next three months.

This Evora 400 will be the perfect car to pave the way for the Lotus brand in our country

Old posts and thread, but figured I'd chime in...

Probably the same as the Evora / Evora S - which is to say, absolutely terrible depreciation. Then again, that means you should be able to find a much cheaper one on the used market in a few years. It'll just be a matter of if you can find the right spec.

The head unit is straight aftermarket, an Alpine INE-W990BT - it's not even rebranded. Guess we can't expect much from a manufacturer with barely enough money for R+D on the stuff that matters.

It looks great. I am surprised that I do not see more Lotus's on the road.
