Lotus 340R Seen In Turin for Salone Auto Parco Valentino, Torino



The Lotus 340R is a limited edition sports car manufactured by Lotus Cars in 2000 at their Hethel factory.

The 340R is a special edition of the Lotus Elise. Just 340 were built, and all were sold before they were manufactured. It uses a custom built bodyshell with no roof or doors. All cars came with a silver and black colour scheme. Special A038R tyres were developed for the 340R in collaboration with Yokohama.
While road-legal in the UK, most of the surviving cars are used for racing, track use, or demonstrations

On the positive side its architecture is a masterp iece of the “Postmodern” period. Its main designer was Ettore Sottsass. If you get out of the crowd, rest your eyes, and look at the lines of the building you smile at their beauty. Notice the two different rhythms of the columns on the upper and lower floors in the photo here.   Please see my collection of videos on my YouTube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588/videos This photograph was taken from a plane window and it is on the air side of terminal 1.
