Lotus rolled out their first Esprit in the late 70s. The idea was a lightweight fiberglass body wrapped around a steel backbone which housed a mid mounted engine delivering power to the rear wheels. The formula was one for a very sporty car which was fine tuned over the years. In 1996 Lotus released a big surprise in the form of a self-developed 3. 5 Liter aluminum V8 featuring twin Garrett Turbochargers. Tests in the day achieved performance numbers on par with the best contemporary exotics and a top speed of over 175 MPH. This particular example is a clean stock example in beautiful red over tan leather. It rides on the handsome set of 6 spoke alloy wheels. The seating position is all business, the exhaust note is sophisticated, and the acceleration will excite even the most seasoned driver. If you've never driven a turbocharged car before, it is a sensation you must experience. This is a car that is for the driving enthusiast. With just 43,090 miles on the odometer this Lotus is...

Another refresh was done by Lotus in 1993 penned by Julian Thomson resulted in the Series 4 (or S4). Exterior changes included a smaller rear spoiler placed halfway up the rear deck-lid, revised front and rear bumpers, side skirts and valance panels. New five-spoke alloy wheels were also fitted. New rectangular taillights were borrowed from the Toyota AE86. The S4's engine had the same power output as the SE at 268 PS (197 kW; 264 hp). The S4 was the first Esprit to use power steering. A mid-engine euro car with a 5-speed transmission, driving this car should bring a grin to your face.

A mid-engine euro car with a 5-speed transmission, driving this car should bring a grin to your face. In 1987, the Esprit was restyled by British designer Peter Stevens. Stevens, who would later go on to design the McLaren F1, produced a less angular, more rounded Esprit. Giugiaro is said to have liked the new shape, claiming it was perhaps too close to his original design. The exterior changes were accompanied by a redesign of the interior that gave more space to the occupants. The revised Esprit was not given a new 'Series' number but is often called by its project code of X180. Panels for the body were produced using a new process called VARI (Vacuum Assisted Resin Injection). This method, which was patented by Lotus, offered advantages over the previous hand lay-up process. Kevlar reinforcement was added to the roof and sides for roll-over protection. This contributed to a 22% increase in Esprit's torsional rigidity. The X180 cars inherited most of their mechanical components from the earlier HC Esprit and Turbo Esprit, although the name for the forced induction model was now Esprit Turbo. 1988 model year North American Esprit Turbo models kept the Citroën transaxle and Bosch fuel...
