Lotus 340R

[Dreamcast18]

The 340R is 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 where 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.

The engine is tweaked version of the Rover K-Series engine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_K-Series_engine) used in the regular Elise which produces 177 bhp (131 kW) as standard, or 190 bhp (142 kW) with optional Lotus accessories. It is the same engine as is used in the hard-top Lotus Exige (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Exige). It goes from 0 - 60 mph (0 - 100 km/h) in just 4.3 sec

Pat likes the car, but not the front fenders. I like the wheels. but I have to say ICHIBON is still my favorite.:nana2 :nana2

I have seen those tires in real-life, I think you should put those tires on your ICHIBON.

Pat said she agrees with me. The 18 SSR wheels are the best on the Honda S-2000..But again they are nice wheels.
