Lotus Sport revealed today the 2-Eleven GT4 Supersport race car that will compete in the European SRO GT4 Supersports category. It comes with a lightweight composite body, full rollcage, an advanced aerodynamic package, and increased power.
The four-cylinder engine is increased from the standard 255 hp and 179 lb-ft. engine to 270 hp and 182 lb-ft. The increases in power and torque have been gained through improved induction and exhaust systems, and with a high ratio supercharger drive system for increased levels of boost. To maximize the upgrades to the engine the engine management system has been remapped and optimized. The engine is mated to a six-speed racing sequential gearbox.
There no announced plans of getting this car on U.S. tracks yet.

Lotus unveiled today the the entry level 2-Eleven and extensive range of Lotus Sport performance options. The new 2-Eleven is priced at 34,695 euro.
The new entry-level 2-Eleven weights only 720 kg and is powered by a naturally aspirated, high revving 189 hp engine from the Elise R. It makes the 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 3.8 seconds and can hit a top speed of 150 mph.
The addition of the Aero Pack gives the ability to change the high speed balance of the car through adjustment of the rear wing angle: with the wing set at maximum attack over 10 % of the vehicle’s weight is generated in downforce at 100 mph (160 kph). The Aero Pack consists of a race proven adjustable carbon fiber rear wing and to provide front to rear aerodynamic balance, a lengthened composite front splitter is incorporated. Even in SVA trim with the road legal aerodynamic aids the 2-Eleven produces 60 kg (132 lbs) of downforce at 100 mph (160 km/h)
The full Lotus paint palette including Lifestyle colours, Metallic colours and Premium colours is available to further customise the 2-Eleven. The Launch colour scheme along with the Red Scorpion, Orange Bobcat, Yellow Hornet and Green Dragon schemes are all available as a cost option.
