The Lotus Esprit Turbo launched in the 1980s was a shining example of British automotive excellence. First and foremost, its sleek, low-profile design was a head-turner. The car’s sharp lines and distinctive shape made it instantly recognizable. Moreover, the Esprit Turbo had a turbocharged engine that was on par with anything coming out of Ferrari or Lamborghini (via Supercars).
