Something nice and not seen every day!

[C4S]

I still love this car a lots!

Total 350 ever built .. only ~ 150 of them in north american .. and dont know how many in Canada .. even 12 yr old, still nice, not as common as F360 .. F430 .. Elise .. 911 .. Vantage .. DB9 .. etc cars we see every day .. every hour .. in Calgary!

nice and clean too! even I am not a big fan on white ..


(P.S. my wife said " isn't it a MR2 ? )

Hahah. I love that car. It shares the same rear lights with the AE86 (US + Canada versions).

Walked in front of this thing on 8 Avenue one day last year, one of the loudest engines I've heard.

Don't Lotus and Toyota have a bit of a tech sharing relationship??

[ekguy]

why does it say suspension tuned by lotus on asuna sunfire's?? Is it actually tuned by such a prestigious company???

they share engines right now, the engine in the elise comes right out of the corolla.

and the new Evora that they just announced will use the v6 engine out of the camry.

but yeah... beautiful car, they are planning to make a new esprit soon, i hope they do.

lambos were built by a couple farmers in a machine shop. they really used whatever the hell they could get their hands on.

to further add to the lotus/toyota thing.

They became friends a looooong time ago. (ever wonder why the 86-89 MR2 looks like it should have a lotus badge?)

Even Porsche makes SUV's now.... yea the car had a "handling by Lotus" label on it, but it wasnt a spectacular performer - I suspect it was more marketing than anything.

Orange ? wow ..

I hv seen White .. Grey .. Black .. Red .. silver Esprit ( mostly SE or V8) .. but not orange .. ( saw RUST colour on a early 80's one )

S4S is just so rare ...

[AllGoNoShow]

Seen the orange one in person, really vibrant colour, I kind of liked it but I could see how a lot of people wouldn't.

[CivicDXR]

there is a black Esprit that always rolling around where I work (UofC), used to see it at least every second day last summer...

I've always had a love for the Esprit...
