1983 Lotus EspritReview

Stunning — Performance - fast, OK braking, handling? It's a lotus. Build Quality - It's a classic car and needs reasonable TLC Appearance - interior like a 70s lounge, exterior styling by giugiaro and feels like driving a sculpture... Cost of Ownership - good but it's an 80s sypercar and you need to know this vis-a-vis maintenance. not as expensive as a TVR, Ferrari or Lamborghini Fun Factor - brilliant: and it breathes fire on the down-rev! Quick, turbo, fun! Delightful handling and very very eager to go as fast as it can... An absolute classic. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Presence, design, speed and it breathes fire...: it's amazing. Cons: Well, it's not a modern car...it's a classic car from the 80s with much that cars since then have added and improved missing. You need to know mechanicals. ![]() Looking for a Used Esprit in your area?CarGurus has 12 nationwide Esprit listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

Classic 80's Exotic — I've loved the 80's Esprits since... well the 80's. When I was able to procure one of my own I didn't hesitate (much) before purchasing.
Pros:
Unique style, exotic, will out-corner just about anything else on the Cons: Expensive to repair & maintain. |

Very Very Fast, Excellent Handling, Poor V8 Sound By Alex
This was excellent, a very quick car that allowed some easily controlled powerslides but just had no soul to the V8. Did manage to lock up the rears during downchanges, which was...interesting. Wei... Read More

V8 Power From 4 Turbocharged Cylinders By David
The car is a movie classic (Bond, Pretty Woman etc...) and really turns heads. I might as well be driving a parade float. It is beautiful and fast, and was hand built in 1995. Unfortunately, howeve... Read More
