Description:
This 1983 Lotus Turbo Esprit remained under long-term ownership in Nevada from 1996 to 2025 and was acquired by the current owner later that year. Finished in Cherry Red over gray leather, the car is powered by a turbocharged 2.2-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes twin Dell'Orto carburetors, disc brakes, 15? BBS Mahle alloy wheels, pop-up headlights, rear window louvers, an integrated rear spoiler, black bumpers, a cabin heater, power windows, and a Clarion CD stereo.

Interior:
The leather-wrapped two-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a repaired 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for boost pressure, voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The bucket seats are wrapped in aftermarket seat covers. Appointments include a cabin heater, a wood shift knob, power windows, and a Clarion CD stereo.

Exterior:
The Series III Esprit was the final variation of the Giugiaro-penned design, and the Turbo model featured an aerodynamic body kit used on the earlier Essex Turbo Esprit. This car is finished in Cherry Red (A55) and features pop-up headlights, rear window louvers, an integrated rear spoiler, and black-finished wraparound bumpers. The 15? BBS Mahle basketweave alloy wheels are mounted with Kumho Ecsta front and Dunlop G/T Qualifier rear tires.

Drivetrain:
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The mid-mounted turbocharged 2.2L inline-four was factory rated at 205 horsepower and 194 lb-ft of torque and features dual side-draft Dell'Orto carburetors.
