1993 Lotus Esprit

The Lotus Esprit stands as one of the most iconic mid-engine sports cars of the late 20th century, blending exotic design with the brand’s legendary handling prowess. This 1993 Lotus Esprit, finished in Black over a Tan leather interior, presents a strikingly sophisticated yet aggressive aesthetic, complementing the car’s sharp wedge-shaped silhouette penned by Italdesign’s Giorgetto Giugiaro and later refined under Peter Stevens. With only 20,411 miles, this Esprit remains a well-preserved example of one of Lotus’ most celebrated models.

Powered by a 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-four, producing 264 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, the Esprit delivers a thrilling analog driving experience through its five-speed manual transmission. With a lightweight fiberglass body and Lotus’ signature chassis tuning, the Esprit remains one of the most rewarding driver’s cars of its era, offering precise steering and exceptional handling dynamics.

Inside, the Tan leather interior exudes classic British craftsmanship, featuring well-bolstered sport seats, a driver-focused cockpit, and an unmistakable blend of luxury and purpose. Period-correct touches such as the wood-trimmed shifter and analog gauges further enhance the nostalgic charm of this Esprit’s cabin.

Recent services include a complete brake system overhaul, a brand new timing belt, clutch master cylinder replacement, and the installation of 4 new tires.

As one of the most revered models in Lotus’ history, the Esprit represents an era of unfiltered performance and timeless design. Whether sought after for its rarity, collectability, or engaging driving dynamics, this low-mileage example presents an exceptional opportunity for the discerning enthusiast.
