VIDEO: THE LOTUS 3-ELEVEN JUST BEAT THE PORSCHE 918 SPYDER'S LAP TIME!

Lotus has broken into hypercar territory and they did it by sticking to their roots, namely light small cars with amazing handling. The 3.5-liter V6 in the Lotus 3-Eleven makes 450 horsepower, which was evidently enough to upset the Porsche 918 Spyder’s time of 1:06.3 seconds at the Hockenheim race track in Germany. The 3-Eleven did it in a tenth of a second less, which isn’t much, but a win is a win. This comes after Lotus driver Marc Basseng predicted that the 3-Eleven would beat a 918 around the Nurburgring.
