Lotus 3-Eleven, the fastest series production vehicle to come from Hethe Headquarters, has set a new record: the vehicle marked the fastest lap time ever recorded at the well-known Hockernheimring short Circuit with the stunning 1 minute and 06.2 seconds. Driven by Christian Gebhardt, a highly-skilled driver and Road Test Editior for "sport auto" magazine, the 3-Eleven behaved confidently and brave in the harsh weather conditions: the temperature didn't get higher than 8 degrees Celsius.
This all means that the Lotus 3-Eleven is now at the top of the prestigious German magazine, taking the lead ahead of some well-respected German, Italian, American and British automobile brands.
