Description
With only one owner and 11.000 kms, this Esprit V8 is one of approximate 1.200 cars manufactured by Lotus in the final years of this model's production. It was introduced in 1996, marking the 21st anniversary of the first Esprit, and finally providing this legendary model with a powerful engine, moving away from its traditional 4-cylinder configuration and adding the right engine note and experience that this car always deserved.
Finished in an impeccable Lotus Racing Green (B21) with a supple Magnolia leather interior (XX18), this unit is one of the lowest mileage examples of this iconic 90s sportscar, offering a unique and memorable driving experience. Motor Trend magazine tested this car in 1996, rating its 0-60mph (97kph) time in 4.4 seconds, with a top speed of 281 kph.
Still undervalued compared to its period peers, this Esprit V8 is a necessary component of any Lotus enthusiast's collection.
