The super beautiful body of the Lotus Esprit was designed by none other than Giogietto Giugiaro, and was drawn in fiberglass over a rigid steel frame. The magnificent, longitudinally positioned 3.5-liter 32V turbo engine was developed by Lotus itself on behalf of the then Lotus owners "General Motors", who later used this high-tech engine as a naturally aspirated engine with more displacement for the "Corvette". The Lotus Esprit represented the pinnacle of sports car production for the small factory, because with the insolvency of General Motors, new developments were hardly possible... Today, Lotus Esprit owners benefit from the good parts supply due to the use of many mass-produced parts.
