I love the Esprit, especially the latter 2002 plus cars. I have an elise and an E55 AMG and the Esprit seems like it has the best of both those cars wrapped into one package. Brilliant handling, and waves of torque with a very tuneable engine. How are the latter cars as far as reliability?
Best Supercar ever. The Italian cars have nothing on Lotus...except for Tony Guido enhancements. The Esprit is for real men who shift their cars and dont need digital nonsense to "assist" the driver. Lotus forever!!!
Sure thing - I like the more classic Lambos better than the newer ones. The Gallardo is cool. Murcis dont do a thing for me though. The more these cars get "sissified", the lessI like them.
@s2mikey Very true, almost all modern day exotics have lost the (unique driving experience)) that make exotic cars special in the first place. I love the Esprit, Diablo, Ferrari 360 with six speed, etc because they are cars that demand that the driver have experience in order to properly operate them at the limit, any time I can go out and drive a sports car at the limit as easy as a Buick, something is wrong.
100% yes.... the whole point of a sportscar is the visceral feedback and the fact that YOU control the machine. Now, its all digital and you cant mess up. Sure, it allows more clowns to buy and drive the cars but it takes something away too. Gimme a Ferrrai 512BB, an Esprit, a Lambo Diablo - whatever! Just for the record, I have an '87 Turbo Esprit and that car is 100% ddriver-controlled!
yes thats right esprit is super car whit few simple mods like changing the icu box whit performance one you can have 500hp that all it needs to spank lambo or ferrari 0 t0 60 stock 4.4 seconds thats faster than ferrari 355 f1 or modena i owne 2 esprits red one 2001 v8 tt 49 milles and a yellow 1977 lotus esprit s1 whit 33k original milles
The composer is Clint Mansell.. different versions of this song goes by various names. This is "Summer overture", there's also Winter Overture, and a couple others... Lord of the Rings did a version of this song for a battle sequence.

what is that song? i keep hearing it

The song goes by the name of "requiem for a dream" but believe someone else wrote it before, and requiem for a dream was the remake for a movie.
