The new 2017 Lotus Evora 400, with an MSRP of $100,000, made a brief (6 hour) pit stop in Plano Thursday, February 4 on its North American tour. The completely redesigned sports car features a lighter body and a 400-horsepower engine, making it the fastest production car Lotus has ever made.
 
17-year-old Make-A-Wish participant Lexton of Whitewright, Texas had the unique the opportunity to see the car up close and even got to ride in the car with a Lotus driver. Although he didn’t get to experience the top speed of 186 mph while in the car, he enjoyed a taste of the acceleration that propels the Evora 400 from 0-60 in just 4.1 seconds.  Lexton has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and his Wish was to ride in an exotic car.
 
A high-performance sports car, the Lotus Evora 400 will start production this year with deliveries to Park Place Lotus of Plano beginning this May.
 
Park Place Lotus of Plano is located at 4422 W. Plano Parkway, between Coit Road and Preston.
