The Lotus Esprit was first introduced in 1976. With a fiberglass body and 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, it received its first redesign in 1978. In 1981 it was redesigned again, this time more extensivley, receiving a 2.2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. 1981 also saw the introduction of the Lotus Turbo Esprit, using a turbocharged version of the 2.2-liter engine. This generation of the Esprit continued until 1987 when it was redesigned, and the Esprit remained in production until 2004 for a total of 28 years. Each generation of the Esprit saw few external changes from year to year. Pictured here is a Turbo Esprit from the third generation, from 1981 to 1987.
