It took decades for Lotus to offer a V8 engine in the Esprit, despite it being mooted from early in its life. Was it worth the wait? Emma Woodcock gets behind the wheel of one to find out for our latest Classic Drive.
The Type 72 was a limited edition Elise that celebrated Lotus’s grand prix heritage with its unmistakable black and gold livery. Maidstone Sports Cars has brought this one back to factory-fresh condition with a thorough restoration.
Lotus ventures into new territory – literally – with an all-electric SUV that takes aim at a global market. In some parts of the world, this will be the first Lotus ever offered. We were at the launch to see what we made of it from the perspective of a Lotus enthusiast.
PNM Parts has grown into one of the most respected Lotus specialists in the country. We went behind the scenes to see how the company does what it does, and found a room full of Esprits in the process.
The Type 73 promised to take lessons from the successful Type 72 Formula One car and apply them to Formula Three. It didn’t quite work out that way, as Darren Banks explains.
Looking to make your Exige S2 harder, better, faster stronger? The first in our new Modify, Improve and Upgrade series shows you how to do just that.
