Vehicle Description
The 1990 Lotus Esprit is a quintessential example of British
automotive engineering, blending exotic styling with exhilarating
performance. As part of the Esprit's evolution, the 1990 model
retained the wedge-shaped design penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro but
incorporated refinements that enhanced both aerodynamics and
comfort.
Powered by a 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-four engine producing
264 horsepower in the Turbo SE trim, the Esprit delivered a
thrilling driving experience with a 0-60 mph time of around 4.7
seconds. A five-speed manual transmission ensured precise control,
while the lightweight fiberglass body contributed to its impressive
handling dynamics.
Offered here is a remarkable two owner 1990 Lotus Esprit SE with
just over 45k miles and in very nice condition. The car remains
very stock with some nice upgrades to the brakes by Wilwood and
braided brake lines. Recent service included a new aluminum header
tank and sensors and new tires as well as clutch slave. These are
very fun to drive and are a raw setup that brings back the glory of
driving by the seat of your pants. These will continue to be highly
sought after by enthusiasts and collectors for decades to come.
Inside, the Esprit featured a driver-focused cockpit with premium
materials, though ergonomics remained a mix of charm and challenge.

steering offered exceptional feedback, making it a favorite among
driving purists.

that defines Lotus sports cars.
