Other features of this Esprit include a leather-trimmed interior, sport seats with yellow piping, yellow door panel & center console accents, Alpine audio, air conditioning, pop-up head lamps, fog lamps and heated power-adjustable mirrors.

Esprit V8 models are configured in a mid-engine layout, with a twin-turbocharged 32v 3.5L V8 engine positioned behind the seats. This hand-built twin-turbo V8 develops 350hp / 295lb-ft and is backed by a proper 5-speed manual gearbox. As is expected of any Lotus, this Esprit boasts incredible driving dynamics, a superb chassis, sport suspension and Lotus / AP Racing brakes to haul everything in. To continues the exotic look, this Esprit rides on body-matching yellow 17" front / 18" rear factory OZ racing wheels.

Included with this Esprit V8 are both the glass and body-color roof panel, the Lotus Certificate of Provenance, a copy of the original window sticker and a CarFax history report.
