Title: New Lotus Esprit
Post by: Drfish on April 30, 2007, 05:53:02 pm

Was casually browsing and found this bad boy

Wow.  Liking it a lot, maybe because of it's Lambo style looks, but this does look to be a cracking car.  Lets hope it goes as well as it looks.

Lol, I had to double-check the badge for an angry bull. Certainly looks the part, tho you'd hope they'd make sure it has the performance as well!?!?

Cheers

I read up on a few reviews, and it would appear to be using a forced induction V8, top end about 200mph, and weighing in at 1300kg.  So I reckon it should be a tad better than the old Esprit's.

Not liking it at all, 1st glance makes me think of a Ford Cougar for some reason
