2018 Lotus Evora GT430 – Manual, One of Just 60 Examples Built for the Global Market

This 2018 Lotus Evora GT430 is a highly specified example of one of the most focused and rare modern Lotus models. Finished in Racing Green Metallic and showing just 12,200 miles, it is one of only 60 GT430s produced worldwide. Powered by a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 developing 430 horsepower, this example features the preferred 6-speed manual transmission and includes tasteful upgrades and factory options aimed at both driving performance and daily usability.

The GT430 was the most powerful road car Lotus had ever produced at the time of its release. It combines race-derived aerodynamics, ultralight construction, and aggressive tuning for track-ready performance with road-going manners. This example benefits from the addition of Sparco sport seats, lightweight black machined alloy wheels, enhanced soundproofing, and a premium infotainment system with 7-inch display, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. A subwoofer has also been integrated into the cabin audio system for improved sound quality. Air conditioning and sound insulation make this GT430 especially livable compared to more stripped-down variants, making it an ideal dual-purpose sports car.

With two careful owners since new and just over 12,000 miles driven, this GT430 has been well maintained and tastefully enhanced. Its combination of rarity, analog performance, and usable modern features makes it a standout among modern exotics.
