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.
Celebrating 25 years of Jim Clarks' achievements, this uber-rare Lotus Esprit is draped in an understated yet gorgeous British Racing Green. This magnificent car rides on a set of yellow OEM Lotus alloys wrapped in Kumho tires. For a special car like this Lotus Esprit, many added touches and options feature, some of which include a commemorative numbered dash plaque, a body-colored hardtop, a glass top, a Lotus Esprit SE car cover, and a framed steering wheel with a commemorative plaque to keep on your mantel when you're not driving this beauty.
The Jim Clark Lotus Esprit packs a beefed-up 2.2L Turbo SE producing 264hp and 261Nm of torque. At the time, it was the only four-cylinder supercar in the world. When new, it made 264 hp at 6500 rpm — a fair upgrade compared to the other Lotus Esprit SE models. This Lotus Esprit could do the 0-60 mph run in just 4.8 seconds — a time that is respectable today. To quote Car & Driver, "Four-point-eight seconds is one-tenth of a second quicker than a ZR-1 with twice as many cylinders or a Ferrari 512TR with three times as many. The Esprit goes on to polish off the quarter-mile in 13.4 seconds at 104 mph-quicker and faster than either an Acura NSX or a Ferrari 348." Our subject car has always been stored on a battery tender, and the fluids have been topped off. A major service was done at 6000 miles by the dealer, with an oil change at 6200 miles.
