Lotus Esprit V8 Review ⧸⧸ A Hero With One BIG Weakness

The 1998 Lotus Esprit V8 ($119,900 CAD as listed) is a wedge-shaped icon, powered by a 3.5 L twin turbo V8 engine. It makes a strong 350 horsepower, has a 6 speed manual transmission, and holds an important place in pop-culture history. It was also made with parts borrowed from many other manufacturers, giving this generation Esprit many layers of personality. But how does it drive? And would you consider it over a modern sports car? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!
