Find out where we are Here Is A Very Special Car! 1998 Lotus Esprit 3.5 V8 Twin Turbo LHD...With Performance Upgrades! The Following Is The Description From The Previous Owner...
This has been cherished for the last ten years by a knowledgeable Lotus enthusiast and former professional special interest mechanic. The car has been carefully exercised regularly and has been sensibly modified to deliver staggering performance. The car is amazing fun to drive and looks stunning. Unfortunately I just no longer have the free space in my garage and the free time to enjoy it. It certainly deserves to be driven. Looking at the rising prices recently for the Porsche 911s and Ferrari 308s and 355s, this car is an unbelievable bargain. It is dramatically faster, arguably better looking, far more rare, lighter, and is cheaper to maintain than options that cost at least twice as much. The car has just under 45,000 miles.
This is a beautiful car, in excellent mechanical condition, ready to enjoy thoroughly.
Engine:
Lotus-Designed and built, 3.5ltr flat plane, four cam, twin turbo V8
Upgraded DR700L Turbos with upgraded wastegate capsules
See http://www.dynamicracing.com/Lotus-Esprit-turbo/Lotus-v8-turbo-upgrades/Lotus-v8-dr700-turbo-upgrade for turbo details
Snow Performance Proportional Water/Methanol Injection
Lotus Factory Red Race ECU.
Blitz Boost controller with integrated wide-band Air/Fuel ratio meter, reduced boost below 60 to attempt to maintain traction, scramble boost features, and adjustable boost ramp rate.
Apex RFL Blow off Valves
Straight exhaust from the turbos back to centre exit. The sound is amazing, but surprisingly mild at idle and part throttle due to the turbos. No one finds the current setup offensive. At full chat, few cars sound better than this Esprit.
I have never dyno-ed this car, but I have attached the dyno sheets for the same setup on another Esprit V8. He made 512 at the wheels at 18psi of boost. His number was markedly higher at the 25psi the turbos will support with race fuel, but I have never been tempted to try that myself.
Silicone Coolant Hoses throughout
Timing belts changed 14K miles ago
Custom upgraded aluminum radiator with high flow fans.
New engine mounts last year.
New upgraded alternator last year.
Chassis, Wheels, and Brakes:
Spax adjustable coil-overs all around. Rears are new last year (one was leaking).
Complete and exact alignment to factory specs.
Stock Brembo brakes with custom Carbo Tech Pads
The wheels are Plasti-Dipped black. These can be peeled clean, like vinyl, to expose the powdercoating in a custom light gold in excellent condition underneath. See photos.
Transmission:
Other than fresh seals and regular Royal Purple fluid changes, the transmission is standard.
Interior:
Nardi Steering wheel with custom adapter.
Final Edition seats with diamond pattern. These were installed when I bought the car. I can’t imagine what a new pair would cost if you could find them.
Carbon Fiber binnacle and switch panel. A one off from MA Carbon. Not holding up all that well to be honest, but the original parts are included if the line in the weave bothers you.
Center Armrest recovered in alcantara.
The interior is in excellent condition.
A/C Blows cold
Exterior:
Paint is very nice, The flat black stripes are vinyl and therefore removable. I also have spare stripes if you don’t like the Lotus logo on the hood. The car won 1st place V8 Esprit at the last two Lotus Owners Gatherings I attended against 20+ cars. So it still shows exceptionally well.
I wouldn"t hesitate to drive it anywhere. But this car does require full attention to drive. It has ABS, but none of the other electronic features to protect you from bad judgement or lack of finesse. This means the car is hugely entertaining to drive.
The car has only the glass roof.
Tools, Books, and assorted spares included.
Here is a video of a Lotus Esprit with similar modifications outrunning a Lamborghini Gallardo if you care about such things:

I will no doubt regret selling this car. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and know the new owner will do the same.
