The Esprit was a landmark sports car originally styled by Giugiaro and later updated by Peter Stevens with the popular wedge look and covered headlights of the era. A 215-horsepower turbocharged 2.2-liter four provides plenty of motivation for this lightweight mid-engine coupe, with a zero-60 time around six seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. But the Esprit was best known for its remarkable handling, which serves to define Lotus as a builder of exceptional sports cars and race cars. The Lotus shows the wedge design and hideaway headlights popular in the ’80s. The Lotus Esprit has remained under the radar among collector cars, which has kept its value down compared with such contemporaries as the Ferrari 308. But it could be just a matter of time before these spirited British classics that are so much fun to drive finally catch on among collectors. These cars will never get cheaper than they are now, rarely seen and a blast to drive!!!
