Completely unchanged by the homologation process will be the ebullient spirit of the 340R. This is a car designed to be driven hard and fast, and above all, to be enormous fun. The 340R’s phenomenal performance combined with the sort of exceptional ride and handling which has become a Lotus hallmark, promise an unparalleled - and unforgettable - driving experience. Although intended primarily to be used for track days, the 340R is a fully-fledged and exceptionally exciting road car. |
