This Glacier
Blue 1986 Lotus Turbo Espirit HCI (High Compression Injection) is a beautiful
example of the iconic British exotic car.
This classic Lotus features a dark blue leather interior and is in a
very good condition. In 1986,
only 454 Turbo Espirits were produced, (According to research) making this a
truly rare car. If you appreciate the stunning and dramatic lines that Guigiaro
penned, then this is the car for you. In addition, this car has only been driven approximately
50,000 miles. Car also features a built in Cobra radar
detector (front and back) in case you feel the need for speed. VIN is
SCCFC20A5GHF60857. This fine car has been maintained by RS Motorsports of
Closter, NJ who is considered by many to be the premier Lotus mechanic in the
North East. Any interested party is welcome to contact him to discuss the car. This Turbo Espirit HCI is reliable and fast. It has been known to cruise at 120MPH comfortably. Needs -
The
car is equipped with air conditioning but it needs a charge. -
Very
minor cosmetic wear on the exterior, (not unusual for a car that has been
driven) the paint has some blemishes. -
The
interior is good and original but the back of the driver’s side is a little
worn. -
(Please note)>>> The Carfax shows inconsistency of
mileage because the speedometer stopped working and the odometer shows 29,000
miles right now but there are actually around 50,000 miles on it. Current
Carfax report is available upon request. According to
the automotive press, “The Espirit is a wonderful example of form
and function. The Lotus Espirit was an amazing vehicle. Its aerodynamic design,
lightweight material, advanced technology and potent engine made the vehicle a
success and attributed to its nearly thirty years of production.” In March
1986, at the Geneva Motor Show, the Turbo HCPI (HC = High Compression, with
petrol injection) was unveiled. The compression ratio had been increased to
8.0:1, maximum boost pressure was up, and not only was this the first Lotus to
use injection – the familiar Bosch K – jetronic layout – but it also had a
catalytic convertor in the exhaust system. The packaging engineers had done
their best to make the cockpit more roomy, the seats had been widened and
lowered while the footwell area had been enlarged. Not only was the engine more
powerful and more torquey than before but the chassis had been improved with
wider section tires (195/60s at the front, 235/60s at the rear). While there
was a new front spoiler and a larger radiator intake. To drill home the
message, this car also had HCPI decals. The ‘Rest of the World’ derivative of
this car, titled Espirit Turbo HC, was put on sale in October 1986. It shared
the same high compression head of HCPI, but retained its Dellorto carburetors
and was not fitted with a catalyst. Like changes made to the normally –
aspirated Espirit at the same time, the latest HC also had an uprated cooling
system and adjustable rack seats. It was a more expensive car than before -
?24,980, which was an increase of ?1,540 on the original type. Compared with
the earlier turbo there had been a 10% torque increase, which made an immediate
and obvious difference to the performance. When Autocar tested the car in 1987,
it was summarized as “in many areas …. A very practical supercar
…. A remarkably satisfying device with which to cover long distances quickly. But
with many less expensive sports cars offering similar performance, the Lotus
begins to look a little less attractive than it did three years ago. The same
cannot be said for its styling, however, which remains truly exotic.” Any

Lotus Exige S Roadster coming this summer to a circuit near you
Wed, 01 May 2013We haven't heard much about the Lotus Exige S Roadster since we first saw it at the Geneva Motor Show last year, but Lotus is now confirming the car will go on sale this summer. Of course, unless anything has changed since the car was introduced, Lotus' "ultimate roadster" will still not be coming to the US.
Lotus has released a new video showing its 345-horsepower roadster in action, and while it doesn't even show that much of the car, you can check out our live images of the Exige S Roadster in our gallery. The video, which looks like a knockoff of a Universal Studios movie trailer, is posted below.
Lotus updates Elise with new Sport, Sport 220 models
Mon, Nov 16 2015There aren't a lot of models that stay on the market a full 20 years after their introduction. The Lotus Elise is one of those few, so to mark the occasion, the British sports car manufacturer is launching two new versions. Instead of simply dressing the Elise up with special trim and badges (which it has already done), the new models succeed the old ones by "adding lightness" and increasing performance in the classic Lotus style. Replacing the base Elise is the new Lotus Elise Sport, which cuts a good 24 pounds off the already featherlike curb weight – now down to 1,909 pounds. The 1.6-liter inline-four that is sourced from Toyota and enhanced in-house carries over with 134 horsepower and 118 pound-feet of torque for a 0-60 time of 6.0 seconds and a top speed quoted at 127 miles per hour. Fuel economy and emissions figures improve thanks to the decreased weight, but Lotus says the difference is most felt in the brand's signature handling dynamics. Those looking for a little more oomph may be more enticed by the upgraded Elise Sport 220. Taking the place of the outgoing Elise S, the new Sport 220 benefits from the same weight reduction as the Elise Sport, but packs the larger, more potent engine. The 1.8-liter supercharged four delivers 217 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque to deliver a 4.2-second 0-60 time and a 145-mph top speed. Along with the weight reduction, the new Sport models benefit from optimized throttle response, traction slip thresholds, and handling balance. They also feature new Bilstein dampers. Along with ten exterior colors available, buyers will also be able to choose between leather, Alcantara, or (our pick) classic tartan upholstery like the original 1976 Lotus Esprit S1. Unfortunately, we can't count ourselves among those potential buyers, since Lotus no longer offers the Elise in North America. The automaker is, however, tipped to bring the next generation back to these shores toward the end of this decade. And the incremental improvements that it constantly rolls out bodes well for what's to come.
