	Lotus Esprit Turbo 1988 History
		The X180 Esprit had a new type of instrument panel and facia, though the general layout and features were familar.
		For the new Esprit, therefore, where the gearbox was behind the final drive, there were strong similarities to the Renault 25 type of installation.
		In 1987 a total of 462 Esprits, new type and old type combined, had been produced, but helped along by the new style this total rose to no fewer than 1,058 in 1988, which was easily an Esprit record.

	Lotus Esprit Turbo
		The Lotus Esprit has been one of the most successful and longest running supercars, produced from 1976 until 2004, and was developed and improved over time.
		The Lotus Esprit (or Kiwi as it was initially known) was developed over 3 years and launched in September 1975, to replace the long running Lotus Europa (although Owner's had to wait till 1976 to collect their cars).
		The Lotus Esprit was developed and improved with the introduction of the S2 from 1978 to 1980.

	Lotus Esprit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Esprit was again improved with the addition of a water to air intercooler known as the chargecooler producing the SE.
		The Esprit was a popular and successful addition to the American Bridgestone Supercar Championship and as a result Lotus produced the SE-based X180R, with horsepower bumped to 300 and with racing appointments.
		By this time the Esprit could reach 60 mph in well under 5 seconds, and weighed 1300 kg as a result of their hand laid fiberglass bodies.

	Lotus Esprit V8
		In 2002, the Lotus Esprit reached a milestone in its illustrious history when the turbocharged V-8 model was introduced.
		The Lotus 3.5 liter twin turbocharged V8 engine, which had four overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, produced 350 hp at 6,500 rpm with racing versions currently producing over 550 bhp with very few changes from the standard road engine.
		With the Lotus Esprit now out of production the last of the breed look set to become future classics, especially since the combination of a substantial frame and glass fiber bodywork will suffer less from corrosion than conventional steel cars.

	Motor Authority » Spy shots: 2009 Lotus Esprit
		The return of the Lotus Esprit is just a couple of years away, and marks the first Lotus that can be dubbed a ‘supercar’.
		Power for the Esprit is expected to come from a non-Lotus manufacturer, as Lotus has agreed that developing a new powerplant is too expensive and the old Esprit engine a relic from the 80’s.
		Currently, Lotus claims to be finalizing a deal to make one of these performance-oriented editions of an existing car but is keeping the identity of the client under wraps.

	Lotus Esprit Turbo SE
		The Lotus view of what a 2-seat sports car should be is unique in the world, and can afford to be, with U.S. annual sales numbering in the hundreds, not thousands.
		Since the Esprit's fiberglass body was completely restyled for the '88 model year, it was a bit soon to do it all over again.
		Aim the Lotus Esprit Turbo SE down a typical English country lane, dip heavily into the throttle in 2nd gear, and wonderful things start to happen.

	Lotus Esprit Submarine by AUTOart
		When in submarine mode, the Esprit is powered and steered by a 4 propeller and twin rudder assembly on the rear of the car, and depth control is achieved by 4 fins in place of the wheels which have been retracted up into sealed compartments.
		At least one Lotus Esprit bodyshell was converted by the producers of the film into a mini-submarine.
		Apparently it was difficult to control underwater as it's road car shape (which in it's intended environment would produce downforce to keep the car on the road) caused it to adopt a nose down position with ease, which resulted in the nose grazing the bottom of the sea floor quite often.

	Lotus (computer games) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, and Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge were pseudo-3D racing games developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Gremlin Graphics in the early 1990s.
		Lotus 1 features racing against other cars, with a field of drivers whose names are based on real life racers of the time (Ayrton Sendup, Nijel Mainsail and Alain Phosphate for example), while Lotus 2 features racing against the clock.
		Lotus III is not so highly regarded, due to its slower running speed (although this time the Genesis port is faster) and lack of new features.
