Lotus is known for being the ultimate in lightweight chassis construction, chassis dynamics, and steering feel. We all love its special edition of Evora Sport 410 and now they promised to cross the pond for sale in North America.The “410” refers to the power output of the Toyota-sourced, 3.5-liter supercharged V-6, an increase of 10 horsepower over the Evora 400.

His company is the world's largest independent oil trader. Instead of any significant increase or decrease, the exec believes crude could hit $45 to $50 a barrel in the latter half of 2016 and...
Tesla Model S isn’t exactly a car that one can rightfully describe as affordable, especially for $70,000. But an article posted by a customer titled How Elon Musk Stole My Car certainly suggests a real frustrating consumer experience.
