Lotus has announced yet another new addition to its Exige range – the Exige Sport 410, which slots between the Sport 350 and Cup 430 in the British brand’s model line-up.

The Sport 410 has been developed from the track-focused Cup 430, Lotus says, giving it ‘unrivalled’ driving dynamics and a degree of motorsport prowess courtesy of true downforce – up to 150kg – and low weight.

Top speed is a reported 180mph, and 0-60mph is despatched in just 3.3 seconds.

The Sport 410 gains the track-focused chassis from the Cup 430, but with the adjustable dampers tuned for a road bias. On request, Lotus can tune the entire chassis to customer taste, including adjustable compression and Eibach front and rear anti-roll bars.

An impressive 150kg of downforce is provided by a revised aerodynamic configuration including carbon side pods and rear wing plus a front splitter to reduce turbulence around the front wheels.

The Lotus Exclusive programme allows buyers to customise their cars, tailoring the character of their Lotus precisely to their taste. It’s the ideal way to ensure your Exige Sport 410 stands out from the crowd.

The Lotus Exige Sport 410 starts from £85,600 in the UK.
