Lotus Esprit Turbo

A car that doesn’t get a lot of love from this era is the Esprit Turbo, but it was prominently featured in Miami Vice. The Esprit Turbo was similar to other sports cars from the era in terms of styling. The fast-line performance of the Esprit made it an underrated sports car. The Esprit Turbo was featured in all seasons of Miami Vice in one form or another (via Super Cars).

The most notable Esprit Turbo was the yellow version, but it was available in many flashy colors. When you think of quintessential 1980s sports cars, the Esprit Turbo was one of them. Its performance was jaw-dropping and the styling was everything you’d expect out of the 1980s.
