The Lotus Esprit is an iconic Super Car for its appearances in James Bond’s “The Spy who Loved Me” and "For
Your Eyes Only" movies, and who can’t forget the scenes in “Pretty Woman” and in “Basic Instinct”. The
Esprit’s timeless lines, amazing delivery of speed and performance make it an amazing collector car. It's not
often that one comes through the doors of Flat 12 Gallery, as not many were produced or kept to the standards that
we require. We were lucky enough to find this example in Southern California and are able to offer it for sale to
the public. We believe that Lotus Esprits are quite the gem in both the performance department and upcoming
collectability, like we have seen with Ferrari’s and Porsches of late. These cars, in our opinion, are a great
investment vehicle and a pleasure to drive.
Lotus was careful in keeping the Esprit production numbers low, with lifelong limited production numbers for ALL
Esprits shipped worldwide from 1976 to 2004 coming in at 10,675 total units. Which if you average that number over
the production years it would mean they average of only 381 cars built every year TOTAL! Although production
numbers varied over the years, this 1998 Lotus featured here is one of only 301 were build that year with only 142
V8’s, 99 being V8GT's and 60 being GT3’s. So in true super car fashion they are an elitist, limited production
super car.
This 1998 B03 Calypso Red Lotus with Magnolia interior Esprit 3.5L Twin Turbo V8 is an amazing example of the Lotus
vehicle. It has been well cared for with tatesful upgrades added to give it that timeless exotic sports car
appeal. You can easily pull up to a million dollar ride and still feel relevant. The paint, finish and interior
on this Epsrit will not disappoint, as it is apparent that the previous owners of this car wanted a top notch ride
that didn't show its age. This example has two signatures on the inner fender one we have concluded is Roger G.
Becker who was an important part of Lotus from 1966-2010 as Product Engineering Director and is also mentioned as a
stunt driver in the James Bond thriller "The Spy Who Loved Me" and the second signature we are still researching.
It was also photographed for an upcoming magazine feature and a sample photo has been placed at the end of the
photos. The car you see in the photograph is this actual car.
The B03 Calypso Red paint is extremely fresh with some rock chips present but with an overall thick fresh paint
vibe. There are some scraps to the black lower valance on the front bumper from use and a few touched up rock
chips.
The Magnolia interior has not been re-dyed or as we like to say "spray dyed" which truly makes a difference when
you get up close and once you feel the leather. The interior shows extremely well and appears original with only
some minor wearing to the boldest of the drivers seat. Normal leather creases are visible and are appreciated over
a spray dyed look. The carpets, door panels, dash, gauges, shifter, etc are all in excellent condition.
I have been around quite a few Esprits and many have issues with the seat leather shrinking and the paint vibrancy
and often times they appear like a 90’s car. This Esprit looks like a modern supercar with its glossy red
exterior, tasteful upgrades, custom black nicely staggered Forgestar Performance Wheels 18" in the front and 19" in
the rear wheels that are wrapped in nicely treaded 225 40R18 and 305 30R19 Potenza tires. It is finished with a
color matched removable Sunroof. I do want to remind the taller drivers that this model will house someone up to
about 6'5" unlike the older versions. Take a look at the photographs as you will see a difference in quality of
this Lotus.
Powered by 3.5L V8 Twin Turno with 5 speed transmission, leather Seats, Power windows, locks and mirriors with cold
A/C and MP3 adaptable Alpine stereo. This really is a respectable example of the Lotus sports car that graced the
scenes of so many iconic movies! We appreciate the tasteful updated look like the rear facia with the center
exiting exhaust system and the safety addition of the turbo timer to always allow adequate turbo calling time.

Race Recap: 2013 Indian Grand Prix mostly calm with chances of Championships
Mon, 28 Oct 2013The smog around the Buddh International Circuit got so bad over the weekend that the FIA had to change the practice sessions. Then the soft tires that Pirelli brought to be the options were found to degrade so quickly that teams had to change their qualifying and race strategies. The only man it didn't seem to affect was - guess who? - Sebastian Vettel, who put his Infiniti Red Bull Racing on pole position.
Behind him came Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas, Mark Webber in the second Infiniti Red Bull and on medium tires, Felipe Massa in the first Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen in the first Lotus, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and the McLaren duo of Sergio Perez and Jenson Button. The tire strategizing didn't work out for Romain Grosjean in the second Lotus, who didn't get out of Q1 after only running the medium compound tire and lined up 17th.
The Indian Grand Prix has been held twice and Vettel has led every single lap of both races. If nothing else, we knew there would be at least one new thing about this Indian Grand Prix: there'd be a lap not led by Vettel since he qualified on softs and would have to pit before Webber and Alonso who were both on mediums.
Lotus Evora 'Sports Racer' is oddly named and fully loaded
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Lotus has just announced a new Evora 'Sports Racer' model that is, well, frankly not much more sporty or racy than the standard Evora or Evora S. Instead, the British company calls the Sports Racer a "visually enhanced and optimized version" of both the Evora and supercharged Evora S. To unpack that a little: The new trim will get a new set of unique exterior colors and a revised interior treatment, and it's fully decked out with options.
The 'Sports Racer' will be available in the buyer's choice of Carbon Grey, Nightfall Blue and the Ardent Red that you see in the image above (the only image we've seen of the car so far). Gloss black accents set the model apart and can be seen on the roof, forged wheels, mirrors and rear badges. Inside, one may choose between black-leather sports seats with red piping and stitching, or a Venom Red leather interior with black piping and stitching. How naughty.
In terms of tech, the 'Sports Racer' gets Lotus' Sports Pack and its remapped throttle response, higher redline, more powerful cross-drilled brakes and a more aggressively programmed Dynamic Performance Management system. The stereo system is also upgraded from the basic Evora, with a DVD player and seven-inch touchscreen display thrown in for good measure.
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.
