  • Did anyone else notice the second gallardo that came out of no where at 2:47?

  • There's just something about the Lotus Esprit. I've always loved that car. I just wish the all new Esprit would look similar to the old model. Like an updated Esprit. I wish the styling was evolutionary.

  • man that lotus still the bollocks all these years on , a classic

  • The lotus Is Obviously The More Favorite One For Me! :)

  • Lotus is just not stock ! Useless : )

  • That lotus is fuckin amazing

  • Woah, Lamborghini, Lotus and Corvette in 1 video. Awesome cars, awesome fun, awesome video!

  • damn guys!!! i love the wistle of the lotus it's awesome lotus rocks :)

  • great esprit!!

  • my dick looks more exotic than the lotus

  • @Nin10doKing1 haha right

  • @Nin10doKing1 its 10 years older than the other cars, so most likely older than your dick boyo

  • Two requests please. Number One: Mr. Cameraman, please STFU. Number Two: Put a little nitrous on that Lotus babyyyyy and kiss allllllll of them goodbye!!!!!!!!!! : )

  • Esprit always had a fantastic fantastic exhaust note..........sweet video

  • lotus ftw

  • this video kicks major ass ... I love the Vette, but that Lotus aint no punk either ...

  • The Lotus and Diablo - best looking a most exotic there!!

  • I would be willing to bet the Esprit was basically stock. I have a stock 2001 and my stock blow off valves and stock exhaust sound identical to that one. I have owned many fast cars(both exotic and muscle) and can tell you that the ability of the Lotus to "get up and go" at almost any speed is remarkable. It's one weak spot is the sh*tt y transmission - starting at 5000 miles the 2nd gear synchro was shot - now I have 13,000 mi on it and I am getting frustrated "babying" the 1-2 shift.

  • @ISSclosets Your stock BOV sounds like that??? wtf! I have a 2002 and there are NO blow off valves.. you probably bought a modded Esprit and dont even know it - bonus for you :)

  • @ISSclosets Might want to go to lotusespritworld(dot)com/EGuid­es/EModifications/Gearbox(dot)­html

  • I bet you all that Esprit has is an Aftermarket Exhaust, BOV, & maybe a Boost controller. Having a twin turbo V8 makes it a bit easier for making extra power. It's just too bad that you can't add too much power as the garbage Renault transmission they have has it's limitations to how much power it'll hold.

  • they are breaking the law arrest them !

  • @matchbox555 wat

  • That lotus was fast

  • Love the HKS SQV bov on the lotus!

  • Geez where can I get friends like u XD esprit..... LOVE! Still fav car Boost For Life

  • Gotta love the lotus <3

  • If this video started at 2:14 and ended at 2:30 it would still be one of the best videos on YouTube, to show people what REAL harmony is.

  • the vette looks shit

  • all my favorite super cars in one video! that is awesome!

  • I'd take the Diablo over any of those cars any day.

  • thank you for not playing any music and letting us hear the enigines of each car... thumbs up

  • the SE stands for Suicide Edition lol

  • @2:51 you can hear the lotus blow off valve even though it is WAY up the street.

  • That Lotus is f-ckin awesome ... I love the ZO6 cause Im a Chevy man, but damn, That Lotus is no punk ... good shit ..

  • lotus is great, wish it had the older tail lights though and was wingless. Then it would look amazing.

  • Hello, I was wondering if I should purchase a used 1992 Lotus Esprit for $5,500CA. The only issue witht he vehicle is that the engine had caught on fire and would need to be replaced, and needs a new cover over the back aswell, it also received a couple of burn damages around the rear end.

    Thanks

  • Lotus Esprit kick ass !!

  • i have a lotus esprit v8 twin turbo and man they are great cars. is that like a club you guys all roll in.

  • WTF - Where did that little black sucker come from...? The LOTUS is SICK!

  • thats a mad lotus, id buy it anyday.

  • hahaha... fun watching these supercars. Thanks for posting.

  • LOTUS WIN

  • dats not a zo6

  • @BodyCatcha it is ...

  • I WANT that lotus!!!! =) Excellent job

  • Lotus pure sexyness!

  • I have a Lotus Esprit black... beautiful Gallardo you suck... hahaha

  • that vette and lotus are sex

  • jeez that was a nice lotus :D

  • esprit all the way!

  • THATS A BAD ASS LOTUS!!!!!

  • Can the guy that posted this video find out what he has done to that lotus?!? and also how much hp is he getting out of that thing with his mods? it looks like it has some ridiculous power...

  • @kanix999 Hey, I am a member on the LotusTalk Forums. That Lotus is putting down 439rwhp now, in the video it was putting down less than that thougn. If you want more info about that and other esprits join LotusTalk.

    Take Care

  • Where was this video filmed? Beautiful area

  • @amerenio

    California(USA)

  • ee

    great people :D

  • the only weak point on the esprit was the bloody awfall renult gearbox and clutch. the lotus v8 engine was good for 650 bhp without too much internal work. Lotus were just idiots for not uprating the gearbox to one of their own designs. ho hum lack of money i guess. I had an s3 2.2 turbo with the same crappy box and that car had 220 bhp.

  • Love the way the lotus just fucked off, wicked!

  • Yeah who gives a fuck about those other cars...that Lotus was bad as shit!!! Definitely not expecting that from what would be considered the "underdog" in this vid. God damn...I want one!

  • That Esprit got some balls.  It sounded sweet too with that blow off valve I think.

  • my 520hp esprit will fkn smoke that zo6 night n day and thats fact

  • oh stfu you don't have a lotus.

    God you kids who post on vids making up cars saying "HERP DERP MY ____ WILL BEAT THIS CAR" are the biggest tools of the 21st century.

  • This lotus is a sleeper.

  • Lotuses have awesome handling, especially the Elises (the Sport 190, Type 72, 111R and 111S.)

  • lotus

  • fuck of z06

  • ok i have a 97 civic..i would love to have a lamborghini diablo sure..with that said..i really think its kind of a ugly car..its way too exotic looks like a spaceship..i prefer more realistic cars like the testaroosa for example or the corvette..everytime i see a lambo i expect to see a alien jump out of it

  • those are some fucking sweet cars

  • hahaha thats awesome!!!

  • fucking love the LOTUS :D

  • i love how everybody under estimates the lotus, my dad owns 3 esprits one is flipped we bought it that way, but anyways i like how you say "heavily modded" it is not "heavily modded" it is modded but not over exagerated.

  • yup a twin turbo V8.

  • @antondeine Yeah, this video made me fall in love with the Esprit all over again.

  • 2:47- that other car was a little slow off the line, hahaha

  • that lotus was very quick, and the turbo set-up was def. not stock

  • Whats proper "beeping edicate" for ....you know, prior to racing?

  • the lamborghini lost

  • You don't mess with a Lotus Esprit.

  • haha, that was awesome! especially loved the diablo & esprit.

  • ELIM, as far as I know the vette is modded (supercharged), I know the Lotus is modded, but why did you only say "heavily modded Esprit"?

  • Having owned one myself, it doesn't appear to have any mods other than maybe some aftermarket BOVs. I definitely regret selling mine, but I thought it was the best thing to do at the time to finish another project of ine. I plan on getting another one. aybe a 2004 Final Edition.

  • God-damn that Lotus really hauls!

  • It's a 2002 V8 Esprit. you can see the "25th Anniversary Edition" etched on the rear side glass.. 1 of only 100 in the world!! super rare and underrated! I want one!

  • Paulysin:.. didn't know that re edition. want one too. drop dead gorgeous, especially in silver.

  • @trident3b needless to say, this video was the reason I got myself into a 25th Anniversary Esprit. number 028/100.. definitely took advantage of their current low prices! I love it

  • It warms my heart to see a Lotus Esprit running with Lambos :) BTW the tail lights on the Esprit mean its '02+. 350 HP Turbo V8. But he probably modded somethings. Nice vid

  • 2:57 - Jeep Liberty passes Gallardo :]

  • anyone know if thats a final edition esprit? i know that if it is it should have ESPRIT eteched on the side window just behind the door... couldnt see it though.

  • Comment removed

  • ya its definitely not the final edition. there were 79 made, and its technically called the 2003 and 1/2 to fall under california emissions regulations... like paulysin said below, i think its the 2002 edition

  • ELIMvieos, change the title of the vid, this aint a heavily modified esprit. Has only mild mods.

  • what's been done to the Esprit ?

  • I thought that Lotus was so cool, I bought one myself. See those twin pipes? They're right off the cat (no muffler) and they make the car snarl loudly (or purr if your off the gas).

  • @2:52 you can still hear the Lotus turbo blow off whistle, but you can barely see the Lotus, its so far away.

  • blow off valve

  • the lotus is hard.

  • yeah, I agree!

  • All sexy fucking cars. I like the Esprit though. Actually, just yesterday I was driving behind three of them near Hartford, CT. Some loud shit

  • so many peeps dont know there cars.. People hate admitting vettes kick ass. I have both ferrari's and vettes, i love them for the difference that they are but for the money, vettes really do kick ass. And for whoever said a gallardo would take a 2001 6.0 diablo is wrong.. big time..

    That video i like so much because that is how it happens... cruising with friends, or someone rolls up .. and you hit it... no bs, just peeps enjoying their cars... good times and great vid post...

  • and man that lotus is a beast

  • gallardo wouldnt waste a 6.0 VT. stop to top speed in a straight, no way

  • i love supercars but when the z06 and now zr1 came out ppl who had half million dollar speed machines shit there pants

  • Not really they just get a z06 for the stable as well if they feel like it. Most don't

  • sj507, you don't know a ZO6 very well, do you.

  • Is a cheap piece of shit, whats to know about it.

  • too bad thats not a ZR1 in the video. That car would smash anything in this vid for sure.

  • how is the lotus modified? Bigger turbos? ecu flash??

  • The Diablo can take the Z06 no problem .

  • poisible .I would think so.

  • I drool over the lotus esprit!!!!!

  • lets take them all to a circuit race lets see what happens with your american muscle.

  • hahaha damn you are stupid, yes of course a vette would keep up with those cars, but driving  experience its different ,its not the same to drive a cheap chevrolet insted of driving a lambo or any exotic car and by the way GO FUCK YOURSELF dont need to talk like that and get angry just for a fucking different point of view, DOUCHEBAG.

  • lets see how many hot ass girls you get with a vette compared to a lambo!!! :O

  • totally agree with you.

  • I rather take a girl who knows about cars, not some airhead. :D

  • you must be one homely mofo to not be able to get any girls with that vette, and you need a lambo to get them to even notice you.

  • wow... never knew the esprit was pushin like that... that was like a late 90's car to right?

  • 2004 was the last year for the Esprit in the US.

  • its totally modified...such muscular car and gave lambo ran out of money ....

  • that Esprit looks stock to me

  • yeah, for sure it is not HEAVILY modified Esprit.

    seems stock.

  • yeah that Espirit is a bad bitch, im surprised the corvette could keep up with it, and appeared to beat it. Then there was that random black Lambo at the end that went after them lol

  • When does the vette beat the Esprit? I doubt that.

  • That Esprit is a mean motherfucker

  • cool :)

  • watch this video with &fmt=18 key at the and of the original link, this is stereo! :D awesome voice :D

  • that z06 is fast

  • That's something most people don't understand. Everyone now days wants to race a viper or a vette from a dig. But both cars really shine from a roll. Those cars are built to hit the 200mph rage not go from 0-60 in the snap of a finger. Although that would be nice too.

  • Excellent vid! Finally someone who posts exciting sports/exotic car videos. You don't know how many times I've been duped, and end up watching an Enzo pull into a parking space infront of Wal-Mart, then for the grand finally the Enzo pulls out of the Wal-mart!

    Nice Vid!

  • holy crap, look at that Esprit go !

  • they're all more recent and more powerful etc, but there is that certain something about the esprit when it pulls away. love it.

  • damn that esprit was bad but vette's still my fav

  • I regret selling my Lotus too!! I HAVE to get another now!!

  • ahahah look at the Esprit! =) ! Lotus !

  • a friend of mine is getting a 600 bhp esprit tt in the next week i cant wait im so excited. I cant imagine the power im gonna shit myself haha

  • err after watching this, i regret selling my lotus. god damn lol

  • Great Video..I love all of these cars,but my favorite is the Esprit,its such a sexy beast!!!...Please post some more!!!!

  • mechanical masterpiece! 5 stars

  • yes, gallardo is cool, yes, corvette is cool, and so on ....but lotus esprit is a legend. may be it is not as sophisticated, does not have electronic dampers, variable valvetrain, nor modern efficient cimatronics. .. but it still goes fast, has looks and fame second to none. it is rare, and it is worth to keep:)

  • Awsome where was this?

  • Aaahh..i wish i could join you with my dream car..Aston Martin..haha..that's my dream...

    You guys are really have fun there...

    love it...

  • fat esprit

  • vette was in front at about 2:50

  • Lotus FTW.......

  • esprit is the only one with proper steering feel.. crappy drivetrain though, no getting away from it

  • this was taken in los angeles on the 2 freeway. lol. i live close there.

  • it would be any mans dream to own a lamborghini XD

  • yup and this guy is living up to that dream! :)

  • Own as in own or own as in pwn?

  • that lotus takes the cake

  • amazing, that lotus puts up a really good fight given that it is actually a bit out of its league with the other big shots there. Love the noises it makes (wastegate?) and the periodic cracking of the exhaust. Superb shape too.

  • That Lotus is so sexy. They're so rare too. I can't remember the last time I saw one. I love it!

  • Sick ass cars! Diablo VT remains my fav. one of the 4.

  • cool :)

  • bov on a lotus = kick ass sound

  • That's not a ZO6. No vent in front of the rear wheels. It's not stock either though!

  • Is that the 2 FREEWAY??? PLEASE RESPOND

  • with no offense to any of the other sports cars but i think the lotus is a MONSTER....

  • love the lotus

  • PURE SEX!!!

  • mmmm those cars are mouth watering lol

  • Also, the ZO6 in this video has a supercharged 600rwhp setup.

  • I found the Esprit owner on a forum with a list of his modifications. His set up was not dialed in correctly for these runs, and he said he was actually making almost the same as stock hp numbers at the time. Now he's making significantly more with snow performances methanol kit working correctly. The only mod that really worked properly here were the HKS SSQVs, and obviously those don't add any power.

  • That Lotus was not stock...period!

  • Yeah! thet lookes like So much fun!:)

  • When I don't feel like going to work I just check eBay for the 03-04 Lotus Esprit, work 13 hours-no lunch. Maybe oneday I'll go to lunch in my Esprit.

  • that lotus put it on that gaytardo!!!

  • Gaytardo? Hey, it's not my favorite lamborghini, but its not gay:)

    u silly

  • the gallardo is a pos in terms of styling.. i would pick the diablo over the gallardo ANY DAY.

  • me 2, but miura over all lambos

  • esprits got game man

  • Damn, can I hang out with you guys!?!?! lol

  • The farther they go, nicer cars show up. Another car came in
