New Lotus Esprit
« 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.

Silver JDM ST205, GReddy EBC @ 1.1bar, Blitz panel filter, NGK Iridiums, and knackered fig 8's that will one day be changed for the ones I bought 6 months ago.

Future plans: New ECU, W.I., TT Hybrid, FMIC, and a better job to fund it all...

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.
