Lotus Evora GT430 – Evolution of the Evora<\/b><\/h2>\n

Lotus first launched the Evora in 2009. The model was intended to be a more refined and practical version of the less-than-civilized Elise\/Exige. The UK-based manufacturer hoped it would appeal to a larger demographic than its linemate and consequently bring the brand more to the mainstream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Retaining the important characteristics which make a Lotus car unique, the Evora is a <\/span>balanced, mid-engined, lightweight car that is a pleasure to drive with a profile that is undeniably made-in-Hethel. <\/b>Unlike the Elise\/Exige, the Evora was immediately praised for its ride comfort, utilizing a suspension able to expertly negotiate the harshness of daily public road use while being more than formidable on the track.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, the Evora received its first major refresh – significant at the time, as the Elise\/Exige were phased out, making the Evora the only model in Lotus\u2019 lineup. The car became likened and often compared to its direct competitor – the Porsche 911 Carrera.<\/span><\/p>\n

2009 Lotus Evora<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In recent times, more so than ever, competition in the high-performance sports car segment seems to be flying off the rails. With an abundance of innovations and new technologies being made available for use on production road cars, Lotus made its biggest step in modernizing the car in 2015 with the release of the Evora 400 then the Evora Sport 410 shortly after.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evora GT430<\/h2>\n

The latest iteration of the Evora is in the form of its new GT430 trim. While the 400 variant is seen as more of an equal to the Porsche 911 Carrera S, <\/span>the GT430 is believed to be in direct competition with the Porsche 911 GT3<\/b>. Based on everything the car has to offer – including its price – it makes for a difficult case to refute such a claim.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there is one thing that defines the Lotus brand, it would have to be it\u2019s aversion to anything with mass. While the \u2018GT430\u2019 moniker correctly points out that this is <\/span>the most powerful Lotus ever made<\/i><\/b> at 430 horsepower, it is the less \u201cin-your-face\u201d details about the car which truly make it greater than the sum of its parts. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
GT430 (right) and GT430 Sport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are two trim levels for this model: the GT430 and GT430 Sport, the latter being the same car – albeit the more understated of the two – with the absence of the large rear wing and scrape-baiting front splitter. The Sport weighs 10 kg less, which is characteristically deemed to be worthy of a mention on <\/span>Lotus\u2019 website. <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Features and Highlights<\/h2>\n

Engine<\/h3>\n

As with the previous Evora, the GT430 continues to employ the supercharged 3.5L V-6 power plant supplied by Toyota. The main difference, of course, is the that it now produces a whopping <\/span>430 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque<\/i><\/b> which earns it the title as Lotus\u2019 fastest production car.<\/span><\/p>\n

The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and comes standard with a Torsen limited-slip differential. A six-speed automatic transmission is available as a cost option. <\/span>Altogether, Lotus claims that the GT430 is able to achieve 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph. <\/b><\/p>\n

Chassis<\/h3>\n

The Evora GT430 comes standard with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, a feature reserved for vehicles of a supercar pedigree. Eibach springs, front and rear anti-roll bars and Ohlins TTX two-way adjustable dampers help to ensure the car stays planted and predictable under even the most demanding driver inputs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Servo assisted two-piece J-hook ventilated brake discs and AP Racing four-piston calipers provide the immense stopping power needed to complement the GT430\u2019s power and race car inspired chassis.<\/p>\n

Exterior<\/h3>\n

While the car is more powerful than ever, it can be said that the GT430 benefits the most from a plethora of weight reduction and aerodynamic upgrades.<\/p>\n

Loaded with carbon fiber parts in places you would (and wouldn\u2019t) expect, the upgraded Lotus is almost 300 pounds lighter than the Evora 400<\/strong> and 57 pounds less than the Sport 410. That is a huge deal for a car that is the improved version of a model that never had any weight issues, to begin with.<\/p>\n

Large air vents in the front of the GT430 and a rear diffuser in the back, channel airflow efficiently through the car to minimize turbulence and maximize stability at high speeds.<\/p>\n

\"GT430<\/p>\n

The massive rear wing and front splitter (which are removed from the Sport trim) fittingly create the downforce needed to harmonize with the GT430\u2019s overall performance and appearance. Lotus states the vehicle\u2019s aero components are able to generate up to 250 kg of downforce, which is significantly more than previous Evora iterations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interior<\/h3>\n

The GT430\u2019s interior is surprisingly well put together and it makes the barebones interiors of older Lotus models, look and feel like a piece of ancient history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Premium leather and Alcantara is found throughout the interior – in the places that matter most – while carbon fiber accents provide an overall high-end finish befitting of the car\u2019s outwardly stature. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sparco sports seats with carbon backs, a Lotus-developed Alcantara steering wheel, and an infotainment system are cost options for those who desire a differentiating factor, improved driver feel and a bit of extra convenience. <\/span><\/p>\n

Verdict<\/b><\/h2>\n

Reviews of the 2017 Lotus Evora GT430 by a number of renowned and respected auto journalists, all appear to be very much on the same wavelength.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GT430 is a very serious car for very serious money; Porsche 911 GT3 money, to be more exact. Inevitably, this will lead to the car being measured up and compared to its German counterpart more as a benchmark than as an equal. The recognition, familiarity, and heritage of the Porsche will always be top of mind when deciding how to splash <\/span>upwards of $140,000 USD<\/b> on a car. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it is also generally agreed upon that this isn\u2019t a car that should or would be cross-shopped with another. The prospect of owning a GT430 goes beyond just the numbers and pure rationality. It is not everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but will more than satisfy anyone discerning enough for its taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GT430 will also undoubtedly be a rare collector\u2019s item, with Lotus claiming that it currently <\/span>only plans to make 60 units<\/b>. However, Lotus says we can also expect a US-spec version sometime in the spring of 2018 which would make it more widely available, at least on the North American continent.<\/span><\/p>\n

His first sortie with the brand began with a pre-owned 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Ever since, he\u2019s been captivated by P-cars, going on to own a 2020 Porsche Taycan 4S, 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and most recently, a 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. Attending high-performance driving events over the past 2 decades, Terence has taken almost every car he has owned to racetracks in his native Western Canada. Spurred on by his involvement with local motorsports communities, he then became a Porsche Club of America National Instructor and provides consulting and coaching services for HPDEs and driving schools in his region. Terence is also a contributor on other websites, such as stuttcars.com and sportscardigest.com, where he focuses on Porsche-related content.","url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/terence-w\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
