The Sprit of Lotus Future

2013 Lotus Esprit Concept
Now if you're a serious Lotus lover, you might remember a time where the mighty Esprit was still with us. It was a great car. It's Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine captivated all of us. When it went away in 2008, we missed it greatly. In fact, Lotus missed the car so much, they've decided to bring it back, and it might look like the car you see in front of you now. But, one thing's for sure. It's coming back with more power. Lotus already have the specs of the engine the new Esprit will harbor: a 5.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged 620 horsepower V8 placed in the middle, as always, connected to a new 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission. This car will venture from 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 205 MPH, bringing quite a scare to the Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and McLaren's new big shot. So, when this car does come out in 2012, it will put Lotus back in the supercar game. Who knows? It might just outrun them.
