Lotus 340R 2000

It's like one of those concept cars that never make it to production as is. This one did!

I won't have mine in retina-searing green though.

I would also prefer a yellow one .... nice track car.

But what's this on the car?
Don't see this often on other 340R's.
Intake or vacuum cleaner?

 

[Azure Flare]

It's like those intakes on the sides of Le Mans prototypes, or F1 cars of old.

Y'know what that means?

Possibly...

Turbo POWAH!!

Yeah, that what I thought ... thanks for the confirmation.
👍

Or a supercharger, or just moving the intake directly into the airflow to get the air into the engine faster.

I have an Hot Wheels version of that car somewhere It looks fine in yellow but I prefer it way more in that green 👍

 

[SCER]

It's more of a lime green in that picture. I was referring to a different color that Lotus has, but I can't remember the name of it. It's bright as hell though.

Isotope green perhaps? It's only available for the Evora, and was arguably the worst colour on GT5 Prologue.

Aw just bad you live in Austrália Wouldn´t mind having one of these in my garage...

If it does make it into GT7, a race between this and the X-Bow will take place.

Always found it odd that this one never ended up in the series. It was a pretty popular car for games to have around when it was new/in development, and GT2 had basically every other Elise.
