Facts about the model
One of the most iconic sports cars was the small two-seater Lotus Elan version 1, manufactured from 1962 to 1973. The epitome of a nimble small sports car, much of its essence can be seen in the Mazda Miata and other modern successors.
The Lotus Esprit was produced from 1976 to 2004. The body shape was designed by the renowned designer Giugiaro, who has many icons on his list of achievements. Many might remember the Series 1 Esprit from the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me," where it even transformed into a submarine. The next generation was later featured in "For Your Eyes Only."
For the 1988 model year, the Esprit underwent a modest modernization with softer body lines. It continued with the same 2.2-liter engine with or without a turbo but switched from a Citroën to a Renault gearbox, which was considered an improvement.
In total, over 10,000 cars were produced during the years of production.
