Lotus Evora 400

The Lotus Evora 400 reaches 60 mph in 3.96 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.33 s, tripping the lights at 115.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.00 s and the eighth mile in 8.01 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.36 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Evora 400

The 2016 Lotus Evora 400 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,415 kg with 400 bhp, which works out at 282 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 282 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.00 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 773rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 10th quickest of the 49 Lotuss here. Its 115.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Lotus Evora 400?
Closest here on pace: Vector M12 (3.95 s), Panoz Esperante GTLM (3.81 s), Shelby Series 1 (4.00 s). Each one can be raced against the Lotus Evora 400 in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lotus Evora 400 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
