Because the Lotus Evora GT430 weighs less than it does.

Kinja'd!!!

I think it looks cleaner than the Evora 400, especially the front fascia.

Kinja'd!!!

What will Lotus do next? Surely there’s a limit to how much lightness can be added?

Kinja'd!!!

I think the car looks fantastic and can’t wait to see something new from Lotus too.

The front bumper on the 400 is terrible. Glad to see they fixed it with the 430. Unrelated, but apparently used regular Evora’s are selling for under $40K now.

I need to find a salvage Evora to source an engine/gearbox for my MR2... The assembly drops right in with little to no fabrication. Plus it would add lightness!

A Camry has the non-supercharged version of that engine, and you can buy an adapter plate for the 5 speed turbo engine.

I’ve seen enough anime to know where this is going...
