Lotus Esprit

2013 Lotus Esprit Concept – The Legend Returns

The Esprit will return in 2013 after a near 10 year hiatus since the last ones rolled off the line in 2004. This one will be a lot different though. Gone is the turbocharged inline-4 and its replacement is a 620 horsepower 5.0 liter V8 borrowed from the Lexus IS-F. 0-60mph will come in under 3.5 seconds and top speed will come at 205mph.
