Introduced as a concept car at the Turin Auto Show in 1972, the Lotus Esprit was built from 1976 to 2004 in many different trims. The first series was produced until 1978 and the Series 2 was introduced in the summer of 1978. The model was a two-seater sports car featuring a steel backbone chassis and a fiberglass body, penned by Italdesign. A Lotus 907 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 2 liters powered the car, offering an output of 160 hp—140 hp for the American model. Power was transmitted to the wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox and the model’s performance was recorded as follow: top speed of 138 hp, 0-to-60 mph acceleration in 6.8 seconds. Improvements were introduced on the 1978 Lotus Esprit Series 2, including intake and cooling duct vents, new taillights, new wheels and an integrated front spoiler.
