Exterior and Interior
The wedge-shape of this 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo is the fine work of British designer Peter Stevens, and this car comes from the X180 era of 1988 to 1994. Hence, it’s got some differences from earlier Esprits of the Seventies and early Eighties. Most notable has got to be a slightly softened and newer-looking shape, but still retaining those iconic pop-up headlamps with dual circular lighting clusters in each pod. This particular car also has a removable body-colored roof panel for a targa-style experience when you wish. And if you look closely, the taillamps from this era of Esprit come from the Toyota Corolla Levin AE86, so there’s some JDM epicness right there! The beige interior of this 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo is a two-seat affair and once you’re inside, it feels just like a supercar! With a low-slung, stretched out driving position, you’ve also got amenities such as power mirrors, power windows and even air conditioning! Meanwhile, the stock radio has been swapped out for a newer Pioneer unit with a CD player, AUX port and USB input. The parking brake sits to your left-hand side in a fly-off style, while the gauge cluster is stereotypically Eighties, with a boxy shape, auxiliary buttons, and no-nonsense analog gauges.
Engine
This 1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo comes with a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine behind the passenger cabin. The unit is turbocharged, rated for up to 280 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. Exciting stuff for 1991, especially as 0-60 could be accomplished in as little as 4.7 seconds by a skilled driver.
The 1984 Lotus Turbo Esprit captures the wedge-shaped, turbocharged spirit that made the Esprit one of the defining exotic cars of the 1980s. This example shows approximately 30,848 miles and is finished in Black over a Tan leather interior, with gold bodyside accent stripes and gold mesh-style alloy wheels providing a classic period contrast. Its specification centers on the mid-mounted 2.2L turbocharged four-cylinder, 5-speed manual transaxle, and rear-wheel drive, while details such as the pop-up headlights, front air dam, rear spoiler, and Turbo Esprit graphics give it the unmistakable Giorgetto Giugiaro-era look enthusiasts recognize immediately. An aftermarket ignition system adds a period-style mechanical update to an otherwise very analog package.
The Lotus Esprit remains one of the most iconic wedge-shaped sports cars to emerge from the 1980s, blending sharp Giugiaro-penned styling with Lotus’ legendary lightweight engineering philosophy. By 1986, the Esprit Turbo had matured into a genuinely capable exotic car that combined dramatic supercar looks with impressive handling and turbocharged performance. This particular 1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo stands out in classic red over a tan leather interior, showcasing the unmistakable proportions that made the Esprit a poster car of its era.

Few cars capture the essence of 1980s exotic motoring quite like an Esprit Turbo.
