1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE

The vehicle is a classic 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, a distinct and iconic sports car manufactured by the British marque in its penultimate year of production for the second-generation model. This particular Esprit carries the Turbo SE badge, signifying it as one of the most powerful and desirable variants of this era. Its sleek, wedge-shaped bodywork is an enduring symbol of 1980s sports car design, crafted predominantly fromfibreglass to keep weight at bay, with distinctive twin air intakes on the front bumper and a large rear wing adding aerodynamic functionality. Under its raked hatch lies the Esprit's signature powerplant, a Lotus-tuned version of the Buick-sourced 2.2-litre turbocharged inline-four engine generating around 215 horsepower, mated to a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. This model is also characterized by its distinctive Speedline alloy wheels with Turbo SE centres.
