Lotus 340 R

The Lotus 340R is a limited edition sports car manufactured by Lotus Cars in 2000 at their Hethel factory. The 340R is a special edition of the Lotus Elise. Just 340 were built, and all were sold before they were manufactured. It uses a custom built bodyshell with no roof or doors. All cars came with a silver and black colour scheme. The engine is a four cylinder tweaked version of the Rover K-Series engine called VHPD (Very High Power Derivative) used in the regular Elise which produces 177 bhp (132 kW; 179 PS) at 7800 rpm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds; its top speed is 209 km/h.
