British supercar maker Lotus is unveiling a special Hethel Edition of its Evora 400 in honor of the 50th anniversary of moving its factory to the former Royal Air Force Station Hethel in 1966.

The limited run Evora will only be available in exclusive Lotus heritage colors (such as Essex Blue, Motorsport Black, and Racing Green) and represents the peak of what the 64-year-old automaker can create with an ultra-light weight of just 3,075 pounds and the ability to go from 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph.

Other features of the Hethel Edition Evora are silver forged aluminum wheels with contrasting brake calipers and an interior with either red or black Alcantara trim depending on the exterior color.

Lotus has also dropped hints that its other models might see special 50th anniversary editions to celebrate the move to the former World War II airfield near Norfolk.

The Hethel Edition Evora 400 starts at $108,150 in the UK, $113,750 in Germany, and $119,000 in Italy. Lotus has not announced whether or not the special edition will be sold in North America yet.
