Here’s one of those epic British sportscars that everyone can’t get enough of—the Lotus Esprit. Made across four generations between 1976 and 2004, just 10,675 were made. That makes it rarer than most Italian and German sports cars. The Esprit also gained much acclaim for its showing in two James Bond films of the ’70s and ’80s, even turning into a submarine in one. For the first three generations, the Esprit was powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but in 1996, the fourth generation got the V8 that the car’s looks always deserved. In fact, only 101 units were ever produced with the iconic V8 engine for model year 2001. That’s what this 2001 Lotus Esprit packs behind the passenger cabin and has got less than 30,000 miles on the clock. Moreover, the car has been massively massaged in the powertrain department and packs a horsepower figure of much more than stock. Furthermore, the current owner reports that service records are included too.
The iconic wedge-shape of the Esprit changed little over its four generations, and the car continued to rock pop-up headlamps right up to the very end in 2004. You’ll get all those neat features in this 2001 Lotus Esprit, dressed in a suave Titanium Metallic coat that befits its role as a superspy’s wheels. The car also comes with foglamps, a sunroof, and a set of HRE alloy wheels that measure 18 inches at the front and 19 inches at the rear. The two-seat passenger cabin of this 2001 Lotus Esprit is surprisingly spacious and well-equipped for a car of this type. You’ve got an Alpine head unit and speakers, black leather adorning the seats, air conditioning, and the usual powered conveniences. However, the 8,000rpm tachometer and 220mph speedometer tell you that this is a serious sportscar and not a mere toy. There isn’t much luggage space under the hood because the spare wheel and some of the ancillaries live there. But hey, these are minor irritants compared with the fantastic driving experience that this car offers.
This 2001 Lotus Esprit packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that’s received aftermarket turbochargers, helping it make a reported 500 horsepower. That’s 150 more than the car came with from Lotus, and it all goes to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner also says that the car has AP Racing front brake calipers to help rein in the increased power.

The Lotus Esprit is famous for being James Bond's car in two of the superspy's Seventies flicks. The Esprit was first seen in The Spy Who Loved Me, where it transformed into a submarine during a thrilling chase sequence. Then, it was used in For Your Eyes Only. But that's not the only outing for this British automaker's mid-engined rear-wheel-drive sports car. Furthermore, a silver 1989 Esprit SE, the same model year as this red 1989 Lotus Esprit SE, featured in the film Pretty Woman. Bearing less than 19,000 miles, you can buy this slice of British quirkiness from us right now, don a tux, and pretend that you're James Bond. Just don't try to take it into the sea, as this car doesn't transform into a submarine.
Lotus Cars have always been focused on building racing cars and sports cars foremost. They translated this ethos into making lightweight sports vehicles with the most exemplary handling on the market. Our subject vehicle is a rare Lotus Turbo Esprit SE Jim Clark Edition. It bears the number 12 of 20 produced, making it a truly once in a lifetime car to be had, and with just 6750 miles on the clock. This specially made car was built to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Lotus' 1965 Indy win. According to Car & Driver, The Jim Clark package added $2200 to the price of a standard $93,795 Esprit Turbo SE when new. The current owner has reportedly only added 200 miles since purchase in 2018.
Lotus is a relatively small British sports car maker who is well-known for creating some iconic machines over the years. Now, Lotus Cars is owned by the Chinese and produces gasoline as well as electric vehicles. One of their Greatest Hits from the past has got to be the Lotus Elise. Made between 1996 and 2021 across three Series, a mere 35,124 cars were produced in total. The Elise is the total opposite of what you’d expect from a modern sports car. It’s light, comparatively low on power, and diminutive. Yet, it offers driving thrills that few six, let alone seven-figure supercars can match. After all, you can wring an Elise out, threading the needle on winding country roads and listening to its mid-mounted engine roar away, all whilst barely breaking the speed limit (although it will significantly exceed that if you dare). Today’s 2005 Lotus Elise is a fine example because it’s got a supercharged engine for even more power. With under 42,000 miles on the clock, this car currently resides in San Francisco and you’d better act fast if you want it!
This 2012 Lotus Evora 2+2 presents as a sharply configured example finished in a striking red exterior paired with a black roof, delivering the classic lightweight, mid-engine Lotus driving experience. The car is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, making it the purist’s version of the Evora. Gold multi-spoke wheels and factory drilled brakes add visual drama and performance credibility, while the rear seats confirm the 2+2 configuration. This Evora blends exotic styling, sharp road manners, and well-chosen options into a well-rounded and engaging sports car package.
Produced from 1996 to 2021, the Lotus Elise embodied Colin Chapman’s philosophy of “simplify, then add lightness,” standing as a lightweight alternative to heavyweight German and American sports cars. This 2005 Series 2 Elise 111R builds on that ethos with purposeful upgrades that sharpen its already thrilling character. Showing just 25,000 miles, it now benefits from a Katana2 supercharger, a Silent Touch exhaust, and a host of supporting modifications including Nitron coilovers, Wilwood brakes, and Ethos track wheels. Finished in Chrome Orange over a minimalist black interior with a fire extinguisher, harnesses, and a radio-delete plate, this Elise has been carefully honed into a street-friendly track machine. With its blend of factory purity and enthusiast-focused enhancements, it represents both the essence of the Elise and the excitement of a modernized driver’s car.
Chevy’s evergreen Corvette has celebrated its silver, gold, and platinum anniversaries, and keeps going strong. Introduced in 1953, the Corvette is now in the eighth generation of production and is sold overseas too. For the 2003 model year, buyers could select a special 50th Anniversary Edition to really celebrate this American icon turning a half century. Today’s 2003 Chevrolet Corvette 50th Anniversary Edition is one of those special edition cars and it’s done over 62,000 miles to date. That shows how nice it is to drive, as are all Corvettes. Plus, the car packs a manual transmission for extra driver engagement. If you’d like to get yourself a Corvette that’s not only a fine catch but a definite future investment, this California-based car is waiting for you!
This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet embodies the pure, analog spirit of the early 996 generation, combining its Naturally Aspirated 3.4L Flat-6 with A 6-Speed Manual for a classic open-air driving experience. Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic over Savanna Beige Leather, it delivers a timeless Porsche color pairing that highlights both sophistication & sporting intent. With confirmed factory options including Full Leather Interior, Hi-Fi Sound Package, 18” Turbo Look Wheels, & the rare 6-Speed Manual, this Carrera represents the enthusiast-preferred specification—focused, elegant, & true to the heritage of the 911 nameplate.
BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.
