LEW 23 today!
Lotus Esprit World is 23 years old today. The site was first published on Valentines Day in 2001. The site looked very different back then and wasn't actually called Lotus Esprit World. Those who remember back then will recall the lovely green and yellow scheme! Still even back then we had plenty of content and only the EspritFactFile was a better read. We've even outlasted the Esprit itself!

Lotus LS V8 Renegade complete overview 2022
RenegadeHybrids
When you hear the name Lotus, the typical enthusiast envisions a quick, lightweight, iconic supercar with deep roots in racing. The lines of the Esprit were coveted by dreamers and celebrated on the silver screen for decades. However, the performance was always behind the curve...until now! Renegade has ditched the heavy, expensive, unreliable and slow Esprit engines and transaxles, and found a lighter, cheaper, more reliable, and MUCH faster alternative. The all-aluminum LS V8, coupled with the Boxster S transaxle, is magic in this remarkably balanced chassis that begs for more power! This deep-dive into how Renegade merges the GM power with the Lotus prowess helps give the viewer confidence when it's time to consider our conversions!

1978 Lotus Esprit S1 | For Sale By Auction
Heritage Gruppe
This beautiful 1978 Lotus Esprit S1 is a timeless wedge designed sports coupe, and will be going to auction this Monday 9.5.22 on eBay! Featuring a 2.0 L naturally aspirated and carbureted engine (which was recently refreshed by "Lotus prepared by Claudius"), a 5 speed manual transmission, and a two tone grey paint job is the perfect weekend warrior canyon carver. For those that remember, a similar example was used in the James Bond movie "Spy Who Loved Me" which was able to transform into a submarine and escape enemies! Although this specific model isn't an amphibious variant, the cool factor and 007 vibes are still very prominent. This Esprit S1 has just over 30k miles, and over $20,000 in recent receipts. Enjoy the driving review in this video along with a short interview by the technician Jason, and make sure to click the links below to watch the rest of the videos on this Esprit.

Great day and my first and probably last Double Lotus Special, hope you enjoy.

Lotus' 4-cylinder SUPERCAR!
Big Car
The mid-70’s were an optimistic time for British transport. We got the Triumph TR7 and Rover SD1, the Intercity 125 took us across the country at 125mph, and the thunderous Concorde took us over Mach 2. Britain was proving it could still do amazing engineering. Then there was the Lotus Esprit, turning heads with its crisp, folded lines and supercar styling. By using a tiny engine, it would go on to have the largest power output per litre of any car. And it would clean up so effectively in American motor racing that it was effectively banned from competition. It’s been a Bond car, twice in its amazing 28-year long production run, and Lotus keeps tantalising us with glimpses of what it will be in the future.

007's Lotus Esprit Road Test - Was It Really Slower Than A Van??
Number 27
The Lotus Esprit was the start of the James Bond 007 film 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. BUT with a mere 160hp and a four cylinder engine it is thought by some as slower than a van. Is this fair? was it too slow to be a 007 car? I road test it and tell you how it drives and explain how they turned it into a submarine and made the gadgets like the missile launchers..

LICENCE TO THRILL James Bond’s classic ‘Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved me’ could be yours for £20k – but there’s a catch
Ethan Singh for The SUN, Published: 21:41, 9 Feb 2023 – Updated: 1:09, 10 Feb 2023
The famous motor will forever be remembered as the amphibious car Roger Moore used in the hit classic when it transformed into a submarine during a daring car chase.

The 1982 Esprit v3 is one of just 1,053 to ever be produced by the famous British manufacturer and only a handful are known to survive today. Since that Bond film premiered in 1977 the Lotus Esprit has become permanently associated with the British hero. And a lucky punter could get their hands on the famous motor, although it will only be a replica.

After watching the famous movie, one farmer was immediately inspired to purchase a Lotus Esprit in exactly the same make and model. He fell ill a few years ago and was forced to retire the beautiful motor to the barn on his farm. For the last few years the iconic car, which has a 2.2 litre engine, has been gathering dust and dirt.

But now he has entered a care home, his family has decided to sell the Lotus at Charterhouse Auctions in Sherbourne, Dorset. Despite the grime it has accumulated it is tipped to command a sale price of around £20,000 when it goes under the hammer. Auctioneer Richard Bromell said: "Arguably the most famous Lotus Esprit was the one used by Roger Moore as James Bond in The Spy Who Loved me which morphed into a submarine and this was the car which inspired the owner to buy his white Lotus Esprit 3.

"Today it looks slightly sad covered in a film of dust and dirt in the barn but that is only superficial. "I am sure the lucky new owner will have this Lotus back on the road in no time. "We expect to have a lot of interest in this sale."

In the film the plans for the submarine car had been stolen from a KGB agent before being used by the Q-department for 007's use. The original submarine Lotus used in The Spy Who Loved Me was bought by Elon Musk for over £500,000. He planned to fully transform the car to actually enable it for use on land and in the sea.

The iconic car will be on sale March 9.

It comes as a rare classic Ford that has had only one owner in the past 52 years could be yours for £60k.

Meanwhile, an incredible collection of Le Man's race cars are on sale after being put up on auction.

A Crazy Choice Stopped This Being The Greatest Supercar Of The 90s
Lotus Esprit V8 – Number 27
The Esprit was always on of the best handling mid engine sport cars out but for a long time the four cylinder engine prevented it from being a serious competitor to Ferraris and Lamborghinis. So Lotus built a V8 version which should have been by far the most powerful in its class.. but Lotus' design had a major flaw that prevented this Esprit from taking its rightful place as one of the 90s most revolutionary cars.

A Lotus Esprit for hire – MAC77!...An introduction

MAC 77 Specialist Car Hire & Me

Cars and technology have been the primary passions in my life and following a 20yr career running my own tech business, pursuing something with cars felt like the natural next move after a time out with my young family.

I've always been good at buying cars but never any good at parting with them, hence the collection has built over time, I guess technically starting in 1997 when I purchased my Escort RS Turbo S2!

I choose very specific cars that have influenced or shaped my past in some way, hence the more recent additions of our Knight Rider Trans-Am and Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo from TV & films that inspired a young boy!

Make no mistake though, these are also serious investments to me and no expense is spared in keeping them in tip top condition.

My purchases in order and a little history on each:

Ford Escort RS Turbo (1990)
As mentioned above our first car purchased in 1997 so this has been owned and cared for over 25yrs. She’s travelled to the south of France on multiple occasions and received Castrol GTX Magnatec oil changes every 4,000 miles. The car still has all the original glass, engine and turbo with just a few discreet modifications.

Ford Focus RS (2003)
Purchased new (2003 plate) and kept in the family throughout her life, now back in my ownership after a long standing buy-back deal with my brother was recently honoured. Completely original and never abused, the only modification is a Bluefin chip.

Vauxhall Astra GTE 16V (1991)
This was the path not taken in 97 when the Escort RS Turbo was the choice, always wanted one and this dropped in my lap in 2016. The car needed some body restoration and now looks amazing, with resto pictures available on our social channels. Oh… and that digital dash still looks futuristic today!

Tesla Model X P100DL (2018)
Being a tech person this car made a natural choice and is enjoyed by my family for road trips, it has top of the range extras including Full Self Drive Capability when the software is eventually rolls out here in the UK. Literally a car that improves over time, I call it my iPhone on wheels. The Falcon Wing Doors are a head turner and take me ‘Back to the Future’ ** Delorean nod **

Knight Rider Trans-Am (1991)
Another car that fell in my lap after meeting a good friend online through the purchase of an original Sega Outrun arcade machine (also pictured on our social channels). When I saw he’d acquired this car and I pestered & convinced him to sell it to me. I loved Michael Knight & KITT growing up. The car and forethought was ahead of its time and our model has an on board computer + touch screens that control car functions, much like our Tesla which is 27yrs its junior.

Lotus Turbo Esprit (1986)
Lastly and certainly not the least... I've always loved the Lotus Esprit, it’s just an icon which maintained its primary shape throughout the different production versions released over the years (in a similar way to the Porsche 911). For me, the Lotus influenced my past of course as a Bond car with the amazing submarine scene in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, but also my favourite computer game ‘Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge’ on the Commodore Amiga 500 https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_(video_game_series). When I saw this highly desirable S3 Turbo in Monaco White come up on a classic car website, I experienced what can only be described as a rush of blood!

There are other cars that tempt me all the time… however I have enough on my hands for now so unless something exceptional comes along I want to focus on these and get the hire business established so they can be appreciated and enjoyed by others.

Primarily started as a Chauffeured Wedding Car Hire business other enquiries have come along seeing the cars requested for TV/Film and display at corporate events. Watch this space!

If you have a special event coming up then please keep us in mind :)

A pristine 2003 Esprit V8 Last Edition went under the hammer in Bring A Trailer, fetching $144,444. This is almost double the base price of a brand-new Emira ($74,900), proving that the old Lotus sports car is still quite desirable.

Do you have a JPS Esprit?
Classic Team Lotus want you
Classic Team Lotus are planning an event at Hethel on October 15th to celebrate 50 years of the JPS World Championships with Emerson Fittipaldi and the Type 72. We are looking for a JPS Esprit (or any other original JPS Lotus roadcars infact) to display at the event and wondered

if any Esprit World members would be interested in bringing along a JPS Esprit. Your car would be in a special JPS roadcar display area in the heart of the event at Hethel. If you schedule with us to bring along a car on the day, you would of course receive two free tickets to the 'Ticket Only' event and not need to pay any 'parking' fees that Lotus Cars 'might' decide they are charging.

If you are interested in being part of the event please contact William@classicteamlotus.co.uk and tell him about your car.

Electric Lotus Esprit restomod under consideration by Hethel’s new bespoke division
Simon Lane, boss of Lotus Advanced Performance, has given some indication of what’s on the horizon for the newly launched division.by: Matt Robinson
Earlier this year, Lotus Advanced Performance was launched, promising to bring various existing elements of the British sports car brand (including motorsport and the Lotus Driving Academy) under one roof, with various new services added to the roster.

Speaking to Auto Express at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Simon Lane, who’s heading up the new endeavour, gave some indication of what’s to come.

Perhaps the most interesting part involves special vehicles, which Lane explained will be arranged in three “tiers”.

“The first one is using existing platforms to develop our own low-volume, special runs of cars,” he said, adding, “So we've got three platforms down there [Emira, Evija and Eletre] - we could potentially top out those cars, do something different with the powertrain and so on.”

Possibly giving some context to an image of a mysterious single-seater included in the original Lotus Advanced Performance press release, Lane revealed another part of this plan. “We've got a really good relationship with Clive Chapman and Classic Team Lotus across the road [from Lotus’s Hethel HQ], and discovered some incredible designs that were done in the Colin Chapman era that never saw the light of day,” he said. “So wouldn't it be amazing to bring one or two of those to life but maybe with a modern twist?”

Tier two involves restomods, with Lotus having no shortage of revered cars in its back catalogue to make more useable. “Some of the most iconic classic cars if you drive today, I'd argue they're not actually that nice to drive”. Under the skin would go modern suspension, updated interiors and drivetrains with “modern power levels”.

One way Lotus may do this is with electric conversions. “We can potentially electrify an Esprit for example – that's something we're thinking about doing,” Lane said.

We won’t have long to wait before seeing the fruits of these efforts, with the first official restomod Lotus set to arrive in 2023.

The final tier of special vehicles involves motorsport, from which we’ve already seen something – the new Emira GT4.

Meanwhile, Lotus Advanced has already started planning and executing events for owners, and its first bespoke vehicle options will appear on the Evija electric hypercar.

The Emira will join the fray, starting with a Lotus Advanced colour palette arriving on the configurator towards the end of 2022, and special graphics are also on the way.

Anything more intensive will have to wait. “To go into true bespoke, I'd like to get there, but we need to learn to walk before we try and run.”
