38k-Mile 2000 Lotus Esprit V8
The vehicle in question is a stunning 38k-mile 2000 Lotus Esprit V8, a sports car manufactured by Lotus Cars Limited of Hethel, United Kingdom. This sleek and powerful coupe was produced with an eight-cylinder engine, configured in the classic V-Shaped arrangement, displacing 3500 cc and boasting turbocharging capability, as indicated by its "918" engine code. Notably, this Esprit came equipped with active belts for enhanced safety, along with front airbags designed to protect occupants in both driver and passenger seats.
