A significant anniversary requires a significant car and Lotus is marking 50 years since the founding of its famous factory with a limited Hethel Edition of its benchmark Evora 400.

Available in three exclusive colours, with matching trim options and a special commemorative build plate, the Hethel Edition Evora 400 combines high performance with Lotus' legendary chassis development. As well as marking 50 years in Norfolk, the Hethel Edition allows Lotus fans to enjoy some of the company's iconic colour schemes.

Buyers can choose between Essex Blue, Motorsport Black, and Racing Green, with either black or red leather or Alcantara interior trim available depending on bodywork colour. Every Hethel Edition Evora 400 comes with lightweight silver forged aluminium wheels, and contrasting brake callipers, while bespoke graphics complete the car's distinctive look. Customers can also personalise their vehicle through the Lotus Exclusive programme.

The Hethel Edition Evora 400 is the first in a series of special products and events marking this important milestone in the company's history, when, in 1966, founder Colin Chapman moved Lotus to the purpose-built facility in Hethel, Norfolk.
