2018 LOTUS EVORA

Hilton & Moss are excited to introduce the Lotus Evora GT430. The most powerful road-legal Lotus ever made. A pure expression of British engineering, lightweight performance and driving precision.

Produced in strictly limited numbers (60 cars worldwide, and just 25 for the UK) and widely regarded as the ultimate evolution of the Evora platform, the GT430 represents the pinnacle of Lotus’ lightweight engineering philosophy. Developed with an uncompromising approach to performance, this is a car engineered for the purist. Visceral, analogue and utterly intoxicating from behind the wheel.

At its heart sits a 3.5-litre supercharged and charge-cooled V6, producing a commanding 430bhp and 325lb-ft of torque. Mated to a precise six-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential, the GT430 delivers a truly engaging driving experience, propelling the car from 0-60 mph in approximately 3.7 seconds and onward to a 190mph top speed. The soundtrack, amplified through its titanium exhaust system, is every bit as thrilling as the performance itself.

True to Lotus ethos, weight saving was paramount in the GT430’s development. Extensive carbon fibre bodywork, including the front splitter, roof panel, rear quarter panels and imposing rear wing, all contribute to a remarkably low dry weight of 1,258kg. The advanced aerodynamic package generates up to 250kg of downforce at maximum speed, delivering immense stability and confidence at pace.

Underneath, Ohlins TTX two-way adjustable dampers, Eibach springs and Michelin Pilot Sport tyres ensure razor-sharp turn-in and exceptional composure. Steering feel is tactile and immediate and the chassis beautifully communicative. A reminder of why Lotus remains revered by driving enthusiasts worldwide.

The interior continues the purposeful theme, trimmed in Alcantara and carbon fibre, with lightweight sports seats providing superb support. Every element is driver-focused, free from unnecessary distraction, reinforcing the GT430’s motorsport-inspired character while remaining perfectly usable on the road.

Finished in the fantastic Empire Green (As one of only two GT430 in this colour) and complimented by carbon fibre panels featuring flashes of red, the car looks as good as it goes! Freshly refurbished bright silver forged wheels house the purposeful AP Racing brake calipers, also finished in red.

The interior continues the exterior theme featuring black leather and alcantara throughout, with red seat centre panels and a twin contrast stitch in red and white. Options include air-conditioning, premium audio and the sound insulation pack for additional driver comfort.

Having covered 19,000 miles since its first delivery in March 2018, and having just 3 owners in total over the last 8 years, the car presents in great condition throughout. The car benefits from a full exterior PPF covering, ensuring that the paintwork remains fantastic for the long term in all driving scenarios.

Featuring a documented history, including Certificate of Provenance documentation, new vehicle sales invoice, service and maintenance invoicing and the Lotus book pack, all of which go to show that this Evora has been well looked after. Notably, the Ohlins shocks were serviced in 2024 ensuring their continued performance.

Rare, focused and increasingly collectible, the Lotus Evora GT430 stands as one of the finest driver’s cars of its generation. A modern classic that encapsulates everything the Lotus name represents.
