3-Eleven laps the Ring in 7 minutes 6 seconds

[...]

With clear running on the circuit an inhibiting factor over the course of the two week period – in which the track was not designated solely for the use of Lotus – the 3-Eleven lapped regularly on or below the target simulation time. By combining the quickest sector times achieved during the fastest 2 laps on the “Sport Auto” magazine lap configuration, a total lap time of 7 minutes 06 seconds was recorded by the vehicle’s data logging acquisition system.

Marc Basseng, Lotus 3-Eleven Driver, stated, “I know the Nürburgring Nordschleife very well and have driven many cars around the circuit. I can say that the 3-Eleven is the perfect car for a fast lap here. It is so sharp and so focussed; a true weapon! This was proven in the sector times set and I’m sure, with the track completely to itself, the car could push towards a 7min flat lap time.”

Interesting that they are claiming a lap time by using the fastest sectors over 2 laps!

How can they claim that this is a proper road car? Between £82.000 and £115.000, a very expensive one dimensional toy car!

Yes, that's a bit disappointing. I assume they've learnt one or two marketing lessons from Nissan Smiley

It's quick nonetheless.

if you can use it on the road, it must be a road car Smiley

The point of these cars is to be able to attend both types of trackdays: street legal and non street legal ones.

My former 2-11 was almost solely driven on the Nordschleife during Tourist rides, which I would not have been able to do if it had not had a road certificate.

Re: 3-Eleven laps the Ring in 7 minutes 6 seconds

The 2-11 was half the price in its time. At around 40.000 GBP it was more affordable for its purpose (95 track/5 road perhaps?).

You are very optimistic, especially if the price doubles from one generation to the next Smiley

Elise was 1-11, I hope they won't drag it that long that we get to 9th gen

Re: 3-Eleven laps the Ring in 7 minutes 6 seconds

the official name of the 2-11 was actually 2-Eleven, the current successor is named 3-Eleven... so if we were ever to see a 9-Eleven, I think the name won't cause any copyright infringement ?

Re: 3-Eleven laps the Ring in 7 minutes 6 seconds

Actually come to think of it, they might have to stop at 6. The next step up is already a trademarked name, 7-Eleven.

Looks great. amazing what Lotus can do with their development budget. Hoping they can raise some money to put into the next Elise development project.

Thanks guys!

Dave, do you remember our lap together in the 2-11 from a few years ago? wink

The 3-11 has more than twice the power but only 150 kg more than my old 2-11. It should be fairly quick!

Of course Smiley great fun to experience a lap in something as pure and focussed - no danger of getting held up behind Focus RSs with this one though Smiley

Re: 3-Eleven laps the Ring in 7 minutes 6 seconds

Congrats! What color are you going for?

Historically I have felt like Lotus has a very interesting color palette (as does McLaren), but it seems like Lotus is going for more of a Porsche color palette as of late.

Brilliant Joël! No tandem laps with this one I'm afraid, you'll be gone before the first corner! 😱

Love the car, well done!
