Lotus Espirit

As one of James Bond’s favorite cars, Lotus Esprits has a special spot in enthusiasts’ hearts. Introduced in the early ’70s and sold until the mid-90s, the Lotus Esprit was a competent sports car, although it had a smaller engine but less weight than the rest of the field. With Giugiaro styling, a wedge shape, and compact dimensions, the Esprit was a fast and nimble car.
