  It says something that a car designed in the mid 1970's can still look futuristic in the 2020's

  I worked at a GM dealership for 13 years and this is the first time I’ve ever heard the phrase “superior AC Delco part” used non-sarcastically

  It&apos;s shocking that they had a 500HP motor and never sourced a proper gearbox for it.<br>The Esprit could have been a living legend.

  I still like the Esprit. Being 58 years old, it is a trip to memory lane for me. As a young boy i day dreamt about me and Barbara Bach driving this Lotus....

  I had an 89&apos; Turbo Esprit back in the late 1990&apos;s and early Aughts. &nbsp;It still stands today as my favorite out of the 121 cars I have owned to date.

  In the early 2000s a neighbor had one and he had to make a set of ramps because it was so low it dragged cross the shallow dip between the street and his driveway. &nbsp;He had a love-hate relationship with it since it seemed to spend as much time on a rollback as under its own power.

  I worked at Lotus, Hethel, Norfolk in 1969 on the &nbsp;Lotus P5 &nbsp;Europa with the modified Renault 16 engine. <br>I left in 1971, but my brother who was a line troubleshooter stayed on and worked on the Espirit.

  I owned a ‘94 Lotus Esprit S4. &nbsp;Loved it. &nbsp;It was like flying a WW1 fighter.
