HCPI

GMP4 Similar Engine spec to HCPI but with more sophisticated control
system to meet stricter USA emissions requirements
GMP4 (has on board diagnostics ability)
INTRCL

to increase Power.
From Lotus
'As for production figures for HC Giugiaro we are looking at a figure
of 308 which will also include Bosch injected cars but it is difficult
to give an accurate breakdown of how many were non injected.
