LOTUS EVORA 400










LOTUS EVORA 400

Top Speed: 186 mph
Zero to Sixty: 4.1 seconds
Debuting at the 2015 Geneva Auto Show, the 2016 Lotus Evora 400 boasted some impressive numbers. Powered by a 3.5 liter supercharged V-6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, the Lotus Evora 400 cranks out 400 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque. The Lotus Evora 400 has a zero to sixty time of 4.1 seconds, and a whopping top speed of 186 mph. The Lotus Evora 400 hits such high speeds, the rear wing and diffuser deliver 71 pounds of aerodynamic downforce at 150 mph, without which the car might lift off the ground due to wind resistance. As expected from luxury car maker Lotus, the Evora 400 is beautiful to look at. The exterior, while built to be aerodynamic, looks unique and exotic due to all the curves and body lines.

TVR SAGARIS








TVR SAGARIS

Top Speed: 185 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.7 seconds.
The TVR Sagaris was built between 2005 and 2006 by British auto manufacturer TVR. Debuting at the MPH03 Auto Show in 2003, the Sagaris was designed with racing in mind.

The car’s name comes from a Greek battle-axe used by the Scythians, which was feared due to its ability to penetrate armor.
