The Lotus 340R S1 is a lightweight, track-focused sports car based on the Elise, produced in a limited run of 340 units for the 2000 model year. Designed for pure driving performance, it features an open-wheel design with no doors or roof, emphasizing weight reduction and aerodynamics. Power comes from a 1.8-liter Rover K-Series engine tuned to produce around 177 horsepower, delivering exceptional agility and handling. A stripped-down interior, exposed suspension components, and minimalist bodywork contribute to its raw, uncompromising driving experience. Built primarily for the track, the 340R remains a rare and collectible piece of Lotus engineering.
