For sale: 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo HCI. 38,619 Original Miles. This is a very presentable and great example of an S3 Esprit. It is ready for a new owner and will be greatly enjoyed by whoever gets to own this rare vehicle. Not many of these Esprit's were built, in 1986 only about 200 Esprit Turbo cars were built in the world. This is a very sought after exotic car and is becoming very hard to come by. If your looking for the exotic feel in a not so crazy price range this may be the car for you. In the past few years the market has went up incredibly on this body style Esprit. The Esprit I'm selling is in good condition for its age and its 90% original state. This Esprit is also a real HCI model car.
History on this Esprit: We are the second owners of the car. The car was purchased and owned in the Miami area of Florida by the First owner. We purchased the car from Auto Europe in 1995 which is a pretty well known Lotus and Morgan dealer in the state of Michigan. The car had around 30,000 miles when we first got the car. It was driven rarely only on nice days up until the early 2000's when the car ended up being parked after finding out it needed a fuel pump. This Esprit sat in our heated garage for about 9-10 years unfixed. We moved recently and brought the car with us. The car belonged to my father I just recently got around to putting a pump in the car within the year, and had the car completely looked over top to bottom and serviced back at Auto Europe. Car is now running better than ever. We still have no time to really enjoy the car so that's why it is being put up on the market. The car was always kept indoors, climate controlled garages. Never seen snow or salt. So here is your chance to get your hands on a very rare and desirable Lotus Esprit. Exterior: The body of this Esprit is in nice shape. Original black paint on the body. Has some clear peel on the head light buckets, mirror tops, and tops of the fenders that is barely noticeable unless looking close. Has some checks in the paint on the roof. Minor scratches and chips. I would like to be honest with the buyer so you know exactly what your buying that's why I will be including a link to Photobucket with many High resolution photos. Paint shines beautiful and you can see yourself clearly in the paint while walking down the car. The whole body is intact. Emblems are all in good shape. Pin striping and stickers are in excellent shape. The glass is in very good shape. All lights are in good shape. The trim and bumpers are also all in great condition. As you know the top does remove, I do have the fiberglass piece you put on after the top is off also. Everything opens and closes as it should. Original BBS wheels are in good shape no rash but they do have some paint peel inside the spokes. Great example of an S3 Esprit in its original state. Interior: The interior of this Esprit is in good/excellent condition. The seat leather is in nice shape but does have a small 5" tear in the corner of the passenger seat. The arm rest has been recovered black and I believe should be put back to tan. The dash is in very nice condition. The top of the dash above the instrument cluster has some fade in color. The fan knob is missing and the A/C control knob is missing. Has a MOMO Indy wood grain steering wheel that is in perfect condition and a wood grain MOMO Shift knob. Rest of the interior leather and carpet are in good shape. Headliner is also in good shape and does have the factory clock that works. Everything in the interior works as it should. Mechanically: The car is in sound mechanical condition. Runs and Drives straight and tight down the road. The handling on the car is incredible. The car does not have any vibrations or shakes. The motor runs smooth and quiet. Does not burn any oil and does not leak anything. Underneath is dry and leak free. The 5 speed Maserati transmission shifts flawlessly and clutch feels great. The car makes full boost and has a ton of power and is a blast to drive. The car has many new parts. The car has had a new tune up recently plugs and wires. New battery. Starter rebuilt. Distributor was gone through and has a new pickup coil. The fuel pumps and fuel filters are new. The car stops as it should no pulsations or grinds in the brakes. Suspension wise the car rides stiff and rolls smooth down the road. The only issue is the brake light on the dash does stay on and I'm not sure why. The tires were just replaced with a factory sized tire front and rear. The headlights flip up and work as they should. I do have some receipts for the recent work done to the car. The front trunk is clean and has the factory spare tire and the jack equipment also. The engine compartment is all together and not missing anything. Engine looks clean some of the factory orange paint has peeled off the intake and valve covers but the engine is clean and leak free. The exhaust is quiet and has no leak or common manifold leaks. All the carpet in the engine compartment is intact. The engine cover is in excellent shape and latches as it should. The rear hood shocks do not work very well. The underneath of the car is clean and looks as it should. No rust or oil residue on the parts. The fiberglass covers underneath are all intact and not cracked or busted. I tried to explain this Esprit to the best of my knowledge and so you know exactly what you are getting. I will add video I uploaded to YouTube and I will include a link to Photobucket so you can view more pictures of the car. If you would like more videos I do have some I could send you. In conclusion this is one of the cheaper and best performing exotics of the era for the money. Driving one of these cars is a very unique experience and its something that I would recommend to try. These cars are small, light and quick. Surprisingly with how small the car is it is very comfortable and fells very roomy inside. This will be a bidding style auction. I will set a reserve which I think is fair. May the highest bidder get the car, good luck and happy bidding!!! Please contact me via phone if you have "0" feedback before bidding and please make sure your funds are available before purchasing the car. This will also be a cash sale or Paypal can be talked about only! Buyer is responsible for pickup/shipping of the vehicle. I will entertain offers on the car so with that being said I have the right to end the auction at anytime if the car has sold before auction close. Vehicle is sold AS IS and has no existing warranty. I will require a $500 non refundable deposit 48 hours after auction end. If you would like to contact me personally my number is 586-295-7007 my name is Anthony. I am located 50 Miles north of Detroit Michigan. HERE IS THE LINK TO MORE PICTURES: HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE CAR DRIVING: VIDEO WALK AROUND OF THE CAR: |

Lotus signs Pastor Maldonado to replace Raikkonen
Mon, 02 Dec 2013The team currently known as Lotus has had a long string of accomplished drivers behind the wheel, including world champions like Nelson Piquet, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. But Kimi is returning to Ferrari next season, leaving a big question mark over who would fill his seat. And now we have our answer.
Lotus has just announced that it has signed Pastor Maldonado to partner with Romain Grosjean for next season. The surprise winner of the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix has been driving for Williams for the past three seasons, signed after he won the GP2 title in 2010. Though lauded as an emerging talent, Maldonado is clearly not the accomplished champion Raikkonen is, however Lotus apparently needs the money which Maldonado brings with him in the form of sponsorship from the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA.
Meanwhile, Romain Grosjean, also a former GP2 champion, has been with the team for some time now, starting as its test driver in 2008, promoted for one season to the race seat in 2009, and returning again in 2012. He's been the second driver at Lotus ever since, achieving career-best second-place finishes at the 2012 Canadian Grand Prix and 2013 United States Grand Prix. Whether it will be Grosjean (who gets the higher number) or Maldonado that emerges as the dominant force at Lotus remains to be seen. Scroll down for the complete press release.
Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]
Tue, Dec 2 2014The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios. "Forza Horizon 2" NAPA® Chassis Car Pack Now Available The roads and countryside of "Forza Horizon 2" beg for you to leave your mark on them. The NAPA® Chassis Car Pack for "Forza Horizon 2" on Xbox One has arrived, bringing five amazing new cars to blaze trails, break records, or just enjoy a casual cruise in.

We all need more wagon in our lives and the Audi RS6 is ready to run around town or serve up surprises at the track.
