Since 1976 Mitchell Trubisky Hat , the Lotus Esprit has given people a spectrum of sensations. Originally tabbed as the replacement for the famous Europa, over time it has been in a position to make a legend of its own. Coming under different forms throughout its history, each version of the Esprit has in some way been able to raise the bar and satisfy expectations of legions of car fans everywhere. And now, this spectrum of sensations can be evoked once again. Because if everything proceeds as planned, the Lotus Esprit is set to return for an encore somewhere between 2013 and 2014.
During the 2010 Paris Auto Show Roquan Smith Hat , Lotus has made a splash in front of a lot of automotive fans. 5 completely new cars were released and are geared up to be produced within a couple of years. But the car that took center stage is the Esprit. It was the first time that the namesake was used since production was halted in 2004. And it was quite a car. According to Lotus chief executive officer Dany Bahar, it would mark the return of the final supercar. And based on how it looks, it might be in a position to back up Bahar’s word.
It is hard to build a successor of any car, particularly when it has the standing of the Esprit. This car is the exemplification of an ideal sports car, the stuff of James Bond movies. The style was innovative as it was stylish. It is easily about the most aggressive looking concept cars seen in recent memory. Evoking the sensations developed by the prior generation Esprit models Khalil Mack Hat , it is sharp and edgy like its forefathers, showing that Guigaro’s original Esprit concept is still alive and well. Still, it is every bit as modern as it was nostalgic. From the LED lights to the radically sculpted rear end, the Esprit is made to take on the sports cars of the future.
Going inside the car, the futuristic theme goes to another level Walter Payton Hoodie , and unleashes a couple of more colors from the spectrum. Featuring a minimalist approach, a high technology steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, and carbon fiber trim all give individuals who are lucky enough to get inside it a glimpse of an honest sports car in action.
Under the hood, speculations abound. A V6 or a V8 engine can either (or both) be used for the vehicle. Both developed in-house Kevin White Hoodie , they also might feature turbocharging. A horsepower output in between 500 to 600 brake horse power all seem likely, and is expected to be lighter and more fuel efficient than similar engines. Hybrid power can also be seen sooner or later. Mated with a 7-speed transmission (with the possibility of having 2 clutches), it is expected to accelerate from zero-to-100 kph under 3.5 seconds and max out at over 200 miles an hour. Those are obviously supercar numbers, and can get anyone’s sensations pumped up.
Once development is dead, the Lotus Esprit is going to make its comeback in 2013 at the earliest. And established on what we saw on the prototype Adam Shaheen Hoodie , it can unleash the same spectrum of sensations car aficionados experienced with the Esprit cars of yesteryear.
Among Lotus’s cars, Lotus Esprit perhaps had the strongest power
