By now, you are probably concerned about weight what with Lotus being all about shaving off fat as much as possible. In its lightest form, the sports car tips the scales at 1,405 kilograms (3,097 pounds).

The novelty underneath the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine from AMG, which also supplies V8 engines to Aston Martin.
