The Lotus Esprit 3.5 V8 is a true classic among supercars of the 1990s, and this 1997 example lives up to its iconic reputation. In an impressive color scheme of Starlight Black with a sleek, black leather interior, this car exudes pure elegance and sportiness. The Esprit V8 is loved not only for its power, but also for its unique Lotus styling and exceptional driving characteristics. With only 54,000 kilometers on the odometer, this is a rare well-preserved example that has always been maintained with the utmost care and where all the necessary maintenance has already been carried out at an official Lotus dealer.
Excellent Technology and Care
Under the hood lies the powerful 3.5-liter V8 engine developed by Lotus itself, supplemented by two Garrett T25/60 turbochargers, good for a hefty 354 hp. The gearbox, specially tuned for durability, operates smoothly and contributes to a sublime driving experience. The sound is enhanced by a stainless steel exhaust system with High Flow catalysts, allowing the V8 to powerfully deliver its signature roar. An extensive investment of over 20,000 euros in recent maintenance shows the dedication of previous owners to this unique car.
Concours condition, Interior and Exterior
The exterior is in perfect condition and has a ceramic coating, which not only keeps the paint shiny but also protects it. The classic six-spoke 17" rims, combined with correctly sized tires, complete the look. The interior is also exceptionally beautifully maintained and refurbished: the black leather upholstery, controls and dashboard look virtually new. All of this makes the interior as stylish as it is comfortable, with an Alpine sound system for the enthusiast as well.
Unprecedented Driving Dynamics
The Lotus Esprit V8 offers drivers an unparalleled experience with its kart-like handling, powerful Brembo brakes, and impressive acceleration that allows the car to reach 100 km/h in less than five seconds. This Esprit is perfectly at home on twisty roads, where it handles smoothly from corner to corner, delivering explosive power that feels both exciting and controlled.
This exclusive Lotus Esprit V8 with its iconic design and exceptional condition offers everything a true enthusiast of an English sports car could want.
