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.

Lotus is a British sports car maker known for their lightweight and fun to drive machines. Created by the legendary Colin Chapman several decades back, Lotus is also known for providing James Bond with the Esprit for several films in the Seventies and Eighties. One of their more modern offerings is the Evora. This is a two plus two sports car that was made between 2009 and 2021. Only 6,117 were produced, making it pretty limited-edition if you ask us. Now, we’ve got a 45,450-mile 2014 Lotus Evora IPS for grabs. This Waynesville-based car comes with a Larini Performance exhaust system, a vertical doors conversion, and was even advertised in California Lotus Calendar. It’s also got race brake pads plus standard brake pads and OEM parts, and a lifetime warranty for those vertical doors.
For many Porsche purists, the 997-generation 911 represents the sweet spot between modern usability and classic analog engagement. This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet belongs squarely in that category, pairing the sought-after 997.1 platform with a naturally aspirated flat-six, rear-wheel drive, and—most importantly—a 6-speed manual transmission. Showing under 74,000 miles, this open-top sports car offers the kind of engaging driving experience that has become increasingly difficult to find as the performance car world moves toward turbocharging, electrification, and automatic gearboxes. Finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic over a black full leather cabin, this Carrera S is tastefully specified with enthusiast-friendly options including the Sport Chrono Package, Bose audio, heated seats, and Porsche’s adaptive suspension system.
The Jaguar XKR-S represented the wild side of Jaguar grand touring in the early 2010s, taking the already potent XKR and transforming it into something far more aggressive, focused, and memorable. As Jaguar’s most powerful production model at the time of launch, the XKR-S combined traditional British luxury with supercar-level performance, wrapped in one of the brand’s most dramatic modern designs. This 2013 Jaguar XKR-S Convertible shows approximately 31,722 miles and presents in a particularly eye-catching specification, pairing Polaris White paint with a rich Warm Charcoal and London Tan interior, topped by a striking Bordeaux soft top. With its factory carbon fiber aerodynamic elements, premium audio, and supercharged V8 soundtrack, this is an increasingly desirable modern Jaguar performance flagship.
This 2018 Maserati GranTurismo Sport Convertible embodies the final era of Maserati’s naturally aspirated grand touring philosophy, pairing timeless Italian styling with one of the most emotional V8 soundtracks of the modern era. Showing just 26,297 miles, this GranTurismo Sport Convertible is finished in elegant Blu Sofisticato Metallic over a Nero interior and delivers the kind of analog driving character that has become increasingly rare in today’s performance car landscape. Beneath its sculpted bodywork sits Ferrari-derived V8 power routed through a traditional automatic transmission, creating a driving experience centered around sound, drama, and long-distance comfort. Equipped with desirable carbon fiber interior trim, gloss black MC Design wheels, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system, this Maserati offers a compelling blend of exclusivity, style, and open-top grand touring capability.
