for a long time, fighting Italian mid-engined exotica for supercar
supremacy from its base in darkest Norfolk. Catch sight of an
Esprit on the roads today and the arresting silhouette still has
enough drama and poise to warrant a double-take. Impossibly low,
fabulously sleek, beautifully proportioned and clean, it looks like
a low-flying missile locked on to its target. Like the Porsche, the
Lotus has been the subject of constant development, but for us it
was the Peter Stevens redesign of 1987 that marked the Esprit's
ascendancy to true superstardom. Stevens softened the edges of the
sharply creased, wedgy Giugiaro original, endowing it with a butch,
muscular body, it's these cars, fitted with 4-cylinder turbo
powerplants, that now make the best buys second-hand and therefore
it's these that we will be focusing on here.Of course, for people
like us the looks would count for nothing if they weren't matched
by equally stunning driving dynamics and stirring performance. The
Lotus reputation has been built on fiercely precise, incisive
handling with feelful steering combined with a compliant, supple
ride, and the Esprit certainly did its bit to enhance that
reputation. It doesn't have the nervous handling traits that have
plagued many mid-engined cars; instead it has an abundance of grip
with incredibly sharp turn-in and power oversteer that's so
controllable you just can't help indulging yourself. In this
respect the Esprit is brilliant, confidence-inspiring and
intoxicating, urging you to drive it hard. Not only did the car
change in 1987, but the name did too. Up until that time, it was
always known as the Turbo Esprit, but the two words were reversed
to mark the Peter Stevens redesign. Underneath, it was essentially
the same car. Boost was increased to add 5bhp to the 210 of the
Giugiaro version, giving the Esprit Turbo a top speed of 146mph. On
