	Lotus (car)
		Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based in Hethel, Norfolk, formed as Lotus Engineering Ltd. by the engineer Colin Chapman (1928-1982) in 1952.
		Lotus Elite - The Lotus Elite was an ultra-light 2-seater coupe, produced from 1958 to 1963.
		Lotus Elan - The second Elan, released in 1989, was a technical tour de force but one that also defied tradition, to its detriment.

	Lotus 340R (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		The 340R is the sports car for people who live to drive and want the whole experience as raw and as pure as it comes.
		We wanted a car that would embody the Lotus characteristics of innovation, light weight, elegance and fun to drive — the 340R is all of these.' What has made the 340R's striking looks and minimalist bodywork possible, is its light and exceptionally stiff chassis.
		The 340R has a dynamic, feline stance on the road or track, in keeping with the Lotus philosophy of combining elegance of style and design with basic scientific principles, and it shows, in dramatic fashion, the inherent flexibility of the Elise chassis.

	Lotus Elise: Auto Car May 1999 about 340R
		Seventy keen 340R buyers have already parted with deposits of L3500 each - 10 per cent of the pan-European price - to reserve early cars, and Lotus dealers are also believed to have dozens more customers who have paid L1000 just to ensure they're on the list.
		The 340R will be a rare Lotus: only 340 will ever be built, in a three-month run beginning in November, with the first cars reaching owners before Christmas.
		There have been adjustments to the body side heights (Lotus has discovered that a stray truck design regulation requires it to provide the car with a body-side step) and to the length and height of the engine cover, for aerodynamic purposes.

	Lotus: The next step
		Lotus is drawing up plans for a radical, super-light, super-fast, Elise based sports car to go on display at this year's NEC motor show.
		It was a bad day when the Esprits started being tinselled up in white leather for the US market a few years ago, and the good times only rolled again when the Sport 300 brought back race bucket seats and body colour surfaces in the cockpit.
		As the Elise 340R saga proceeds, we'll all be sharpening our thoughts about the car's shape, and explaining in later episodes how on-paper concepts proceed to scale drawings and then to a full size model.

		Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based in Hethel, Norfolk, formed as Lotus Engineering Ltd. by the engineer Colin Chapman in 1952.
		Lotus Exige- There has always been a strong link between Lotus racecars and road cars, but seldom has that relationship been so direct as with the launch of the new Exige.
		That's hardly surprising, as the Exige is a road-going replica of the Sport Elise racer, albeit with a few concessions to type approval regulations and the rigours of everyday road use.

	2000 Lotus Elise - Martin's Lotus "340R" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Naked Desire — Lotus has stripped away everything that doesn't add to the thrill of driving to build possibly the wildest road car ever, the outrageous 340R — Prepare to be seduced.
		Having experienced both the 135 and 190 Elises, it's clear the 340R will be incredibly agile, with massive bite at the front end but without the sometimes wayward, light-feeling rear end of the standard Elise.
		Although no figures have been taken, Lotus estimates the standard road-going 340R will be good for 0-60mph in 4.3secs, 100mph in 10.9 and run on until it hits an aerodynamic brick wall at 130mph.

	Classic Driver - Magazine - features - Lotus 340 GRRRRR...
		With a vocabulary of such magnitude, you might wonder why Lotus couldn’t come up with a more interesting name for their latest offering than 340R, which would be more appropriate for a Japanese motorcycle, perhaps with a few extra Z’s and R’s thrown in for good measure.
		According to Lotus, it’s because there will only ever be 340 cars build, all of which are sold, which you should think would be every good argument for upping the production run to 500.
		Lotus forgot to put one in the car, so the first few yards was backwards into a nearby garage.

		These pictures were taken at the 2000 Watkins Glenn Zippo GP and the Lotus track day which took place the day after.
		They, LCU, had sold at least one car and large SUV load of "trash and trinkets" the Lotus watches were very nice but a little more than we had budgeted for such things.

		I've been trying to resist delving into the oily bits of our long-term Lotus but after the article we ran in issue 057 about the VHPD K-series being hopelessly out of balance and never actually producing the quoted figures, it seemed a good idea to check out the health of our engine.
		Torque is nowhere near where it should be either at 134.8lb ft at 6576rpm (Lotus quotes 146lb ft at 5000rpm).
		What's promised after all the changes have been carried out is an engine producing around 195bhp, a smooth idle, no popping and farting on part throttle and a revised rev limit up around the 8200rpm mark.

		The 340R is fitted with super-sticky road/race rubber compound Yokohama A038R Tyres, with a highly distinctive tread pattern.
		The wheels are secured with racing style centre locks and Lotus even supply the torque wrench to get them back on at the correct tolerances.
		Lotus styled, JanSpeed developed exhaust with ceramic coated tubular manifold, rear silencer with needlemat/carbon cover.

	340R.NET - Internet resource site for Lotus 340R owners and enthusiasts
		This is one of those interesting little intersections, especially in a right hand drive 340R, where you are facing uphill with a blind crest in front of you.
		The road is perfect for a 340R, a quick blast of acceleration down the straights, leave the braking as late as you dare as the armco approaches at great speed, trying to not look over the precipice that, at least your mind tells you, is just the other side of that galvanized steel.
		Again the 340R is breath taking, taking each straight with a series of up shifts through the rev range, at each gear the car is begging for the next cog, which gets swiftly dispatched in the same way at the last.

	Lotus 340R \| Car Reviews - Fast Fleet \| evo
		Just to recap: I had a slight 'off' in the 340R last summer (cold tyres, low temperature; therefore not my fault) which resulted in an impromptu meeting between the Lotus's front end and a six-inch-high earth bank (057).
		Although mechanically untouched, the 340R's bodywork was cracked and, as it's an all-in-one body, it meant the whole lot had to be replaced at a cost of £4082.
		The roads are deserted and that crazy engine is making light work of powering the featherweight 340R, each gear devoured in an instant thanks to the ultra-close-ratio 'box.

	Fast Fours :: Four, Rotary and Hi-Tech Performance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		The body of the 340R is based on a strengthened Elise lightweight monocoque chassis bolted to a new body and interior, while the engine is a road-going version of the 1.8-litre 16-valve Rover VHPD K-series four-cylinder.
		In keeping with the racing theme, the Lotus 340R is a bereft of any sound system to speak of, and don't automatically assume that Angelo drooled his way through a collection of stereo catalogues to find the biggest and loudest system that would bolt in.
		So the interior adornments are restricted to a Lotus quick shifter and gear knob, a MOMO race-spec quick-release steering wheel, and a Lotus 340R anodised fire extinguisher.

		It was the happiest day when i was told by LOTUS USA that i was going to be one of the lucky 8 to get this awesome track car.
		The 340R comes from the factory with a built in trickle charger socket located infront of the gear lever, Lotus knew this car was not going to be driven much, and with the optional race battery "which i have", the battery would not last 2 weeks without the charger, if not started or run.

	The Lotus 340R - one hell of a mad car!
		The lauch party was held at the Hippodrome in London and we were lucky enough to be there and meet the design team.
		With a powerful version of the Elise's 1.8-litre K series engine, the 340R concept was aimed at hardcore drivers who wanted a small, responsive, fun machine with supercar performance (0-60mph in 4.3 sec, 0-100mph in 10.9 sec) for weekend blasts in the countryside or track day outings.
		Again, as befits its racing aspirations, the 340R is fitted with super-sticky road/race rubber compound Yokohama A038R Tyres, with a highly distinctive tread pattern.

		Lotus is to put the Elise 340R, its radical lightweight sports car concept and the most extreme machine Lotus has produced since the 7, into production, to satisfy the huge public demand for the car since its world debut at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show.
		Completely unchanged by the homologation process will be the ebullient spirit of the 340R.
		Although intended primarily to be used for track days, the 340R is a fully-fledged and exceptionally exciting road car.

		The original 340R concept car had gaps in the bodywork between the chassis and the bodywork, but Lotus deemed the design too uncomfortable for driver and passenger.
		As with all modern Lotuses, the 340R has seen plenty of wind tunnels during development.
		As with the Exige, the 340R has a flat undertray, although the ride height is considerably more real world realistic than Lotus' pseudo-racer.
