Lotus Esprit Video
Please realize in the first part of the video I am not trying to bash on any Elise/Exige owners. I am simply trying to explain to the audience the difference between discontinued Esprit from the newer Elise/Exige in terms of the motor.

nice video, who is the composer?
My only issue with the Esprit 3.5 V8 is that it doesn't make much power considering it is turbocharged. I feel it should have had at least 500 considering the price, pedigree, and fact that it a turbocharged v8. - the car has mystique none the less.

 Reports are that the STOCK engine put out more than 350 HP TO THE REAR WHEELS.  Those with mild mods are seeing about 20% more than that. Ask GMendosa what the V8 can achieve.

Best bet is one of the aftermarket strengthened gearsets. Fixes most all of the UN1 issues. |
