I modified that Lotus Esprit V8 Twin Turbo in Grand Turismo 4. With the racing chip; port polishing; engine balancing; racing muffler; racing intercoller; stage 4 turbo kit all combined together can produce over 800 horsepower.
Lovely car, rich guy in work took me out in one about 10 years ago and I pretty much fell in love with them ever since. I will own one of these and a 355 before I'm 40!
started to hate on the driver and his glasses...but really i am just jealous of the car. I'd prolly look like a douche driving one too....probably wouldn't care either, at least not while i was driving :P
Few things on the Esprit are actually Lotus. This and that by GM. This and that by Renault. This and that by Isuzu. This and that by Toyota. That's why you could get a 175mph car with a 0-60MPH time of 4.7sec for around US$90,000 instead of paying more. Best semi-exotic value in my opinion. (I don't consider Corvettes or Vipers "exotic", but that's just me.)
They're not at all anyway; exotic mostly suggests a mid-engine, high-performance sports-car with the relevant price-tag. Corvettes and Vipers still fall into what I suppose could be called kind of 'super' muscle-car, but muscle nevertheless.
Great car. Video was like watching a bad wedding/engagement video with a really bad wedding singer. You know, the type of wedding singer that does it solo with a keyboard and mic.
Love this car, had an SE 5 years ago but the insurance killed me being only 22 so I had to let it go. But once I've got out of the finance deal for my V6 Hyundia Coupe I'll go out and get another real car like this.
BTW i use to play this on my amiga in my rooms for hours! The 2 courses I was afraid to play was the motorway course. I turned down the volume, because i was scared of those cars on the other lane, honking their horns, especially the yee-haa you get, when you drive under the truck! I was afraid of the storm couse, because thunder and lighning scares me! BUT NOT ANYMORE, BABY!
so this is what it looks like in real life! The rear end of the car, is just like the lotus games for the amiga, always loved them, especially lotus 2!
I concur... the music is about to make me puke. Wonderful car though... unfortunately the resale value is horrible because they break every 5 minutes ;)
tha car is mint, tha guy below is right tho m8! woulda bin nice to here some engine sounds like. but nice car! tha drivers well chuffed withit, an so he should! all of you below would give out to be drivin that soo have a bita respect

That's Roy Orbison singing. He had dozens of songs that charted, lots of number one hits, and has at least 3 songs in the Grammy Hall of Fame. He was God to the Beatles. Every songwriter worth their salt in the last forty years counts him as an influence. Gibson guitars makes a Roy Orbison signature guitar. I think his memory deserves more respect. Besides, evo mag said " the busy, coarse and slightly thrummy Lotus engine is an aural disappointment".
You idiots that are dissing the video do not understand the humour in it. It's meant to look cheesy and have as one retard put it fag music playing. I think he did a good job and had a great time making it.
I owned the 2001 V8 version - was fun for a few months. Put her up for sale when my detailer brought to my attention the toyota door handles and tail lights. Not an everyday car. The new version soon to be released looks promising.
~What'th, --what's with the lame sound-track, --viewers want to hear the car not some guy ranting about how horny he is..!!!
