The Lotus Esprit

The Lotus Esprit is one of my favorite cars of all time. I used to own 3 of them (1989, 1997 and 2001), all red on tan. I will definitely get another in the future.

I will post some photos once I find them.

Cheers, Daniel.

Its a great car in deed and when modified its pretty fast, the 1996 + model was the best.

Even though I've never even driven one, it's one of my all time faves as well. So beautiful and so timeless. Hope to own one some day.

I was going to buy one but I can't fit in it: no headroom. Had the same problem with the NSX

Nope, started with a 4 cyl normally aspirated 2L. Went to 2.2L, then a turbocharged 4. Eventually got a V8 option and a Twin Turbo Variant of that V8. The turbo 4 is blindingly quick, the turbo 8 is spectacular!!
