2004 LOTUS ESPRIT - YELLOW / BLACK - ONLY 15K MILES!!

8-CYLINDER 3.5L 350HP TWIN TURBO

It has been 10 years since Lotus ended production of their most iconic and longest produced vehicle of all time!!  Although there have been many different variations of the Esprit since 1976, it has always retained its famous wedge shaped body design.  As all things, it has been refined and changed through the years to compete with the current sports car market.  For the money the Esprit was always the good looking under dog that was loaded with power and ability!  Adapted from a 4 cylinder turbo to a V8 twin-turbo set up in 1997 this beast became a raging monster that is still one of the most under rated sports cars avaiable today.  With 350 HP to the rear wheels and 295 Ft/Lbs of torque this beast gets off the line in a big hurry (4.2 sec 0-60).  Brand new, the Final Edition cars sold for just a shade under $100,000, which was a great deal compared to its most recognized competition of the Lamborghini Gallardo (400HP) at $165k base price and a Ferrari 360 (400 HP) at $150k base price.  Now the thing you need to remeber is that the Lotus is rated at 350 HP to the rear wheels, so at the crank it puts out more like 375-380 HP.  And of course when you start to add on options to your Ferrari or Lamborghini you will see the price hit $200k and more.  So for a touch more performance, people were paying nearly double the money.  The best part is, the Esprit is far more exclusive then either of these cars.  There were only about 10,675 made since 1976 and only about 13 total for 2004.  This is a rare piece of Lotus history, and best of all it is in the true Lotus colors, Yellow/Black.

This is the final year for the Esprit and 2004 models include Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, and adjustable spring platforms.  Updates include stainless steel grilles in front spoiler, restyled rear valence, engine builder's signature on intake plenum, diamond pattern seat stitching, shortened gear lever with brushed aluminum knob, and tire pressure monitor.   

You will not find a nicer Final Edition car around.  They do not come up for sale very often, but this car was sold to one of our local customers a few years ago and after some chasing we were able to buy it back.  We are proud to offer this 2004 Final Edition Lotus Esprit for sale!!  It offers both keys, 2 tops (glass and body colored) and original books.  This car also had the OEM wheels Chrome dipped which are still in excellent condition!!  This Esprit, looks runs and drives like a car with no miles!!  It has been well kept and preserved for the owners to come.  This 2 owner Esprit is worth every penny and will be collectible for many years to come!!  

Do not miss out on this fantastic piece of Lotus history!!  It will not last long!!

This Gorgeous Esprit Comes with 2 Keys, 2 Remotes and Books!!

Recap: 2013 Australian Formula One Grand Prix is all about the rubber [w/spoilers]

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

A pre-season full of talking points was swapped for a brand-new set of talking points after the running of the opening grand prix of the 2013 Formula One season. The consistency of the regulations from last year to this year and the triplicate dominance of Infiniti Red Bull Racing meant that no one would have been that surprised if the relative order of things remained the same. But teams found so many ways to switch things up that, in typical pre-season fashion, no one was ready to make any bets on in-season performance, and a couple of surprising players suffered the ignominy of getting it really wrong: McLaren knew it was in trouble from the very first test, while Williams drivers applauded their car as the best in years, only to have Pastor Maldonado call it "undriveable" on the very first day of practice in Melbourne.
And then there were those Pirellis, the Italian company talking up the fact that its super soft tires would only go off so quickly that it would force teams to pit at least twice during the race.
Even then, no one could have seen the first round of pit stops beginning on Lap 5.

Lotus Esprit cancelled? [UPDATE]

Thu, 04 Oct 2012

Two years ago, we were gobsmacked when humble Lotus shocked the automotive world by wheeling out no fewer than five new models - admittedly in various stages of development - at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The ambitious onslaught of new sheetmetal came at the behest of then-CEO Danny Bahar who aimed to broaden the British marque's appeal by dramatically expanding its portfolio. Bahar was later thrown out by new Malaysian owners DRB-Hicom in a management shakeup that seems to still be, well, shaking out. Bahar was deposed over accusations of financial wrongdoing and the controversial executive has fired back with a $10.6M lawsuit.
Against this chaotic background, a cornerstone of Lotus' revival plans hinged on the rebirth of its Esprit supercar (shown in 2010 concept form above). According to new reports, however, the Esprit has been cancelled, a victim of the company's uncertain finances and direction. Depending on which rumor you choose to believe, the two-seat coupe was slated to receive a house-built V8 and possibly turbocharging or hybrid power. That may all be moot now, however, as DRB-Hicom is reported to have scrapped Bahar's plans wholesale, a development that apparently includes killing off the mid-engined Esprit, too.
UPDATE: And this, friends, is why we have this story with a question mark and a Rumormill tag - Lotus is denying that the Esprit has been killed off.
