There is simply no mistaking the stunning, sweeping lines of the Lotus Esprit. A true thoroughbred, its looks are unsurpassed, its pedigree unquestioned, its sheer beauty unequalled.
Esprit is more than a mere car. Esprit is the experience of perfect balance meeting exquisite design. Esprit is phenomenal power, outstanding control and devastating performance.
To this potent mix comes the all new Lotus 3.5 litre V8 twin turbocharged double overhead cam engine. Certainly one of the most advanced V8 power units ever produced in the world. To drive the Esprit V8 is a truly exhilarating experience.
The distinctive hallmark of Giugiaro remains. The elegance, the fluidity, the legendary predatory poise. But, make no mistake, this is a new generation Lotus.
Esprit is a concept. A concept which has been refined and defined, sculpted and crafted then refined again to produce a superlative.
The Esprit V8 today is a true expression of that craft. The progeny of an engineering team dedicated to the highest standards in automotive and racing design; a smart select group of people who are called upon by car companies world-wide to make advances which only Lotus Engineering can deliver.
