Hi @RickyAstle98 do you have the Sport Auto Supertest scans (01/2018) for this car? And if so can you provide those scans over here?

Many Thanks

I wish Cosworth would just buy Lotus and put the British heart back into this British chassis.

Looks like Lotus overestimated it's car again. Lotus claims this car can do 0-100 in 3.6 s yet Sport Auto managed to do inly 4.2 s. Lotus has also overestimated the power of this car, Sport Auto dynoed only 343 PS instead of 380.

Funds-deprived Lotus still iterating on the aging Mk III platform.
