Lotus 340R


The 340R is a special edition of the Lotus Elise. Just 340 models were built, and all were sold before they were manufactured. It uses a custom built bodyshell with no roof and no doors. All 340 cars came with a silver and black colour scheme. Special A038R tyres were developed for the 340R in collaboration with Yokohama.
While road-legal in the UK, most of the surviving 340 cars are used for racing, track use, or demonstrations.
340R was first meant to have 340 bhp /Ton but this was not achieved so they instead built 340 cars so the name still stood for something.
