1992 Lotus Esprit S Turbo for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1992 Lotus Esprit S Turbo is a used car showing 100,262 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Calypso Red with a Cognac interior.

The Esprit S was the mid-range turbo version of the X180 generation restyled by Peter Stevens, and it stayed in the catalogue only briefly, so few come up for sale. This right-hand-drive car was ordered new through Malcolm Templeton, the Northern Irish racing driver who also ran a Lotus dealership at the time.

Its history is set out in a clear file of invoices and the original handbooks. The seller rates the overall condition as good. With the glass panel lifted out, the coupé opens up almost like a targa, letting in light and more of the turbo's sound.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Lotus Esprit S uses the 2,174 cc turbocharged Lotus four-cylinder of the Type 910 family, rated at 231 PS (170 kW), with a five-speed Renault UN-1 manual transaxle driving the rear wheels, with the rear brakes moved outboard. Peter Stevens softened Giugiaro's wedge in 1987 (project X180).
