I always loved this car. It made no sense - supercar price, supercar performance, - 4 cylinders. There was nothing else like it. So quirky and cool as hell.
Like others said, you've got to remember, it's a Lotus, meaning it's light weight! This model was considered the heavy model for Lotus, and even still it weighed 2930 lbs. Compare that to a 2019 Honda Civic, 3010 lbs.
It always quite impresses me, videos of ancient Porsches and Lotuses, no matter how old, when on track they look like they're in their element, darting from apex to apex in a composed manner.
I can't even comprehend how good that Lotus must of looked on the showroom back in 89 .Its still stunning.I seen a black one a few years ago in New york parked in a garage with about half an inch of dust on it and 2 flats and the car still looked good.Couldn't believe someone would abondon a car like that.Oh well.their so nice in person.
I own one of these! Even though I've had offers to sell it, I will never sell it - and yes, it is as fast it says it is. I also have a Corvette C4 ZR1, lots of parts sharing going on with both cars, as GM owned Lotus at the time. The Lotus accelerates as fast as my ZR1 up to about 110mph then after that the torque-myster just romps away into the distance.
The 2004 Lotus Espirit Turbo V8 still looks absolutely incredible as does this car. I am actually considering buying an 2003-2004 Lotus Espirit V8 next year. I have always wanted one and the price now is so cheap for supercar performance...why not? Plus with today's turbos you can really push a car like this well past what was thought possible back then.
The esprit was such an amazing performance car. The interior actually looks pretty decent for a 31 year old car. The outside just needed a new set of rims and it would look completely at home on the road today. I love the monowiper too. I hope Lotus will find it’s stride and bring back amazing performance cars at a somewhat more reasonable price than the Italian or German competition.
Its a great looking car in every colour, i wish i had one , crazy about this car since the first time i've seen one in the 80's. Great design and handling
I went to the factory,it’s 70 miles from where I live.They had fish ponds made from bodies flipped upside down with the holes blocked in,not kidding.They have their own twisty race track also and the interiors are sewn by hand.
My esprit se, is undergoing a full restoration , and so it will be two or three years before I get it back on the road again! what keeps me working and spending on it is.....4000 rpm in second gear and suddenly.......holy shit...plus of course the great looks.
Beating Testicle roaster with a 2.2 turbo in 89 is impressive. Super impressive for a blown 4 pot of the era. I love the wedge design as well. Mr Bond your car is ready.
Woops. Meant track-wise. Civic Si is slow as hell for 0-60. Even so, I might have exaggerated. The gap between these sports or super cars from the 80s and 90s is very small when compared to modern vehicles (as long as it isn't a Hyundai Tucson).
0001Stealth sounds like some stupid nonsense a bad car salesman tells an idiot to get them to buy a car......NO CIVIC HAS EVER HIT 4.5 SECONDS TO 60....the Type R is slower than a Camry at 5.8 seconds .......clearly you know nothing of cars
One of the all-time beautiful designs (minus that rear wing). Stevens honored the original while providing his own touch. Later Esprits got increasingly cluttered, with add-on flares, etc. Beautiful car.
This car is responsible for the only scene in Pretty Woman that I found tolerable. ;) Also, the reason it was so quick for a turbo 4 banger was it's power/weight ratio which was only 11.1 lb./hp. To put that in perspective by more modern standards, it's basically the exact same power/weight ratio as a 1999 Honda S2000 and 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Odd that in the review they claim it to be quicker than the Ferrari though. That car's power/weight ratio comes in at 8.51 lb/hp, so in theory, the Prancing Horse should have been substantially quicker if driven properly. Most test numbers I've looked up had the Esprit's 0-60 coming in at 4.9/5.0 rather than the claimed 4.5 here though, so who knows. Either way, it's still a pretty quick little car even by today's standards.
First off. Lets give you some Corvette facts. 1989 the Corvette was still using the TPI 350. 245hp 1/4 mile 14.0-14.3 1992 they started using the Lt1 300hp 1/4 mile 13-6-13.8 1996 they stopped using the Lt1300hp- {Lt4 330hp 1/4 mile 13.0-13.2} 1997 they introduced the ls1 into the Corvette 345hp typically ran 13.3-13.7 (slower than the grandsport because the ls1 makes power up top, vs the lt1's low grunt) 1998 the Camaro and Trans Am got the ls1 rated at 300 hp 1/4 miles 13.3-13.7 2001-2002 a few revisions to the F-bodies's ls1 made them equal to the Corvette. we got a better intake and a few other tweaks that bosted ls1 hp to the same 350hp that the Corvettes were making (rated at 310). with better gearing that the f-bodies had, some of us would click off high 12's bone stock. however, most of our cars, would still run 13.2-13.4 one more engine that i should mention is the Lt5 which powered 1990-1995 Corvette zr1 This car was the only one that ran high 12's on average, bone stock. and for kickers, Gm had lotus to help create the engine. it made from 375-405hp (dynos show 420ish) those ran 12.5-12.8 @111-115 stock. quickest stock Zr1 lt5 ran 12.2@ 119mph so again, for 1989, that lotus was damm quick with only 264 hp, it will stomp lots of the cars i just went through, including, my 2001 Z28. you should probably subscribe and watch my street races, that way as soon as my 500hp 6.0 is dropped in, you can hear its first start.' if, not, just study a bit before you go on a rant with all the wrong info
No, it's because there's always been a strong market for 30 year-old cars. Think about it--- kids lust after cars, some grow up with the means to buy them, they all compete for the same remaining cars. Combine that with the Golden Age Fallacy and your opinion was already determined for you. 10 years from now, it'll be the cars made around 2000, and people 10 years younger will swear that they were the greatest cars ever. 30 year-old cars. It's a thing.
I remember when this car was new, and saw them in San Francisco. Sadly Lotus cars weren’t reliable and I haven’t seen one in many years. Old Porsches and Corvettes from the era still come out in nice weather.
Joe Black when you grow up in a house full of women, you don't always get to pick the movies you watch. It was the only thing interesting. The "effing twat" was unnecessary. A real man wouldnt say something like that
inb4 Commodore AMIGA and SEGA Genesis comments... Peter Stevens' redesign for me was quite nice, though I prefer Julian Thomson's redesign from 1993. But just like in the other Retro Review video featuring an Esprit, what brings this Lotus down is that agricultural Renault transmission.
Those are good performance numbers from a 2.2L 4 cyl. turbo with 264 hp.. Even a modern 4 cyl. turbo of similar size would need about another 100 hp to beat those numbers, like the Ford Focus RS or a Mercedes Benz GLA45 AMG .
by far the best 007 Bond car, clean lines and angles , compared to everything else today all the cookie cutter carbon copy clone cars, just needed a hefty V12 over a scampy 4 cyL peanuts engine
He should have said the radiator or heat exchanger for the charge cooler. There is a radiator just for the charge cooler on the engine and a little designated water pump just for that closed system
the air to water chargecooler (intercooler ) is on top the engine. The radiator for the chargecooler is mounted in the radiator inlet duct in the middle of the front valence. The two outboard ducts in the valance are for the oil coolers.
@@TwoLotus2 @Big Motor Yep, didn't think of a front-mounted radiator with hoses (and didn't think it is actually possible, too), Motorweek's words weren't very particular. The way you described it makes much more sense. Thank you!
I've driven a couple of these and the snap oversteer will challenge you unless you push them to the limit to plow through it. I am not joking when I say a Buick powered Pontiac Fiero is better. Almost the same experience but you'll get the notion sooner and rocket out of corners.
😂😂 Tell that to the racedrivers that totally dominated the SCCA to the degree that they changed the rules so the ESPRIT was effectively banned 😂😂 Pontiac Fiero VS Lotus Esprit Turbo SE, thats a good one👍
@@pederfallbom 2 years lateer and I have to remember what I was talking about :) If you have tires all day and a race team? You got it. If you are street driving in a spirited manner? Don't aim for a Lotus. These days a 3.8 swapped Fiero would not even calculate. The Lotus is obviously a much better platform, but has the same characteristics. I just sold my Spirit R/T with the original Lotus head and aluminum plugs to my friend for next to nothing, with the Bourroughs tool to do timing belts on those and 944's. I know the drawbacks of having something that sits because it's "exotic" and should be a moving work of art. I am one that rescues them when most would give up. I love air cooled Porsche's for what they are and hate the downward clutch pedal after 15 minutes. It's just my opinion. Tell me that snap oversteer doesn't happen on a street car that isn't cambered out eating tires like the Calsonic GT-R.
The same engine was available in the Dodge Daytona and Dodge Spirit in the early 90s as special order, albeit with an air-to-air intercooler and only 224hp... True story
Yes and why is that? Very big and heavy cars with way more power than anyone needs. Colin Chapman always added lighness, then big "anything" is not needed.
4.5secs in 1989 was just plain fast! Such a sexy car for the time and is still good looking today.
Acc0rd79 Hahahaha, shit numbers now
Pure Luck Still beats a Civic type R or LC500
Still is 28 years later!. Lots of Trouble often Serious... Not any more.
Acc0rd79 and...12.9 1/4 !!!
my jaw straight up dropped when the said 4.5 seconds IN THE 1980s!
This car still looks gorgeous today
I always loved this car. It made no sense - supercar price, supercar performance, - 4 cylinders. There was nothing else like it. So quirky and cool as hell.
Those are some seriously good performance numbers for that amount of horsepower.
Bo jest letki
Lotus make very light cars, always have so they have a great power to weight ratio
I call bs.

Also it's RWD. No FWD crap here.
Got smoked by one of these in 90’ in my mostly stock 89’ 5.0 GT.
These puppies were FAST for their time.
one of the best looking 80-90's exotics immortalized by pretty woman and 007.
The one dislike was a Lotus owner.
I own a Lotus Esprit and I don't dislike them by any means. Lots of fun, looks and performance on a budget.
There is no dislike
It always quite impresses me, videos of ancient Porsches and Lotuses, no matter how old, when on track they look like they're in their element, darting from apex to apex in a composed manner.
Even in todays modern times, that car still looks badass.
Still one of the best looking cars ever made
Two things: incredible performance even by today's turbo 4's, and that radio disguise was hilarious!
I can't even comprehend how good that Lotus must of looked on the showroom back in 89 .Its still stunning.I seen a black one a few years ago in New york parked in a garage with about half an inch of dust on it and 2 flats and the car still looked good.Couldn't believe someone would abondon a car like that.Oh well.their so nice in person.
It was a timeless modern design!
I just think of Sharon Stones beaver everytime i see one from Basic Instinct
I think of a blonde Julia Roberts myself.
You can't smoke in here!
LOL, you win the internets!
I think of The Highwayman (Sam Jones).
Me too
Genius stereo cover!
😂😂😂
I own one of these! Even though I've had offers to sell it, I will never sell it - and yes, it is as fast it says it is. I also have a Corvette C4 ZR1, lots of parts sharing going on with both cars, as GM owned Lotus at the time. The Lotus accelerates as fast as my ZR1 up to about 110mph then after that the torque-myster just romps away into the distance.
Add a 70mm turbo to that lotus.
The 2004 Lotus Espirit Turbo V8 still looks absolutely incredible as does this car. I am actually considering buying an 2003-2004 Lotus Espirit V8 next year.

Loved this car ever since I watched Basic Instinct.
It's still a nice car even by today standards. I got a chance to drive one, and it handled beautifully around the corners,
I just saw the green Jim Clark edition earlier this week.
Looks so cool !!!
The esprit was such an amazing performance car. The interior actually looks pretty decent for a 31 year old car. The outside just needed a new set of rims and it would look completely at home on the road today. I love the monowiper too. I hope Lotus will find it’s stride and bring back amazing performance cars at a somewhat more reasonable price than the Italian or German competition.
I just love the look of that design.
Its a great looking car in every colour, i wish i had one , crazy about this car since the first time i've seen one in the 80's. Great design and handling
One of the coolest cars made for it's time. It's going to be a classic.
A wonderful design that ran well into the 2000s
That thing was pretty quick!
Such a nice car. That Sony stereo headunit in 1989 was probably a dream for some!
Trance88 Sony sucked. Nakamichi and Alpine ruled the 80's
I went to the factory,it’s 70 miles from where I live.They had fish ponds made from bodies flipped upside down with the holes blocked in,not kidding.They have their own twisty race track also and the interiors are sewn by hand.
Damn! This thing is fast even now! I didn't know these got fast till way later.
" A stunning car way ahead of it's time "
For me this was the best looking Esprit...simply beautiful!
Still one of my all-time favorite cars. This car proves that 4 cylinders is all you need!
The disco music introduction makes me drool!! Another MotorWeek upload!
One of my favourites!
That hidden radio fake air vent deal is just superb 😂😂😂
That is insanely fast for 89.
My esprit se, is undergoing a full restoration , and so it will be two or three years before I get it back on the road again! what keeps me working and spending on it is.....4000 rpm in second gear and suddenly.......holy shit...plus of course the great looks.
"Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails."
It still "blows my mind" that thing is only 4 cylinders!
That movie is so gay
@@TheBarricade32 you must have been the lady they found at the blue banana 🍌

Beating Testicle roaster with a 2.2 turbo in 89 is impressive. Super impressive for a blown 4 pot of the era. I love the wedge design as well. Mr Bond your car is ready.
Faster than most sports cars today.
I never knew they were so quick, and with a 4 banger!
I'm sure a 2017 civic can beat it today. They are slower than you think.
The Lotus in this test is about twice as fast as a 2017 Civic to 60 mph.
Woops. Meant track-wise. Civic Si is slow as hell for 0-60. Even so, I might have exaggerated. The gap between these sports or super cars from the 80s and 90s is very small when compared to modern vehicles (as long as it isn't a Hyundai Tucson).

Damn I had no idea the Esprit was that quick, it must be very light.

It depends greatly on the model year. Esprits range from slow to fast.
I love these cars
One of the all-time beautiful designs (minus that rear wing). Stevens honored the original while providing his own touch. Later Esprits got increasingly cluttered, with add-on flares, etc.
Beautiful car.
Love these reviews at Pocono Raceway!!
4.5 to 60 is good now. Amazing back then
This espirit, is the best one i love how hot they look
Refreshing to hear John enunciate Testarossa correctly.

thats seriously quick for that amount of power. goodness. thats quicker than most stock ls1 cars

1997 they introduced the ls1 into the Corvette 345hp typically ran 13.3-13.7 (slower than the grandsport because the ls1 makes power up top, vs the lt1's low grunt)
1998 the Camaro and Trans Am got the ls1 rated at 300 hp 1/4 miles 13.3-13.7
2001-2002 a few revisions to the F-bodies's ls1 made them equal to the Corvette. we got a better intake and a few other tweaks that bosted ls1 hp to the same 350hp that the Corvettes were making (rated at 310). with better gearing that the f-bodies had, some of us would click off high 12's bone stock. however, most of our cars, would still run 13.2-13.4
one more engine that i should mention is the Lt5 which powered 1990-1995 Corvette zr1 This car was the only one that ran high 12's on average, bone stock. and for kickers, Gm had lotus to help create the engine. it made from 375-405hp (dynos show 420ish) those ran 12.5-12.8 @111-115 stock.

so again, for 1989, that lotus was damm quick with only 264 hp, it will stomp lots of the cars i just went through, including, my 2001 Z28. you should probably subscribe and watch my street races, that way as soon as my 500hp 6.0 is dropped in, you can hear its first start.'
if, not, just study a bit before you go on a rant with all the wrong info
It weighs nothing.
+TheLaXandro heck yea cause the v8 twin turbo is bearly quicker with 90 more hp. at least stock for stock.
Lotus was owned by GM. So it was made by GM.
@@basshead. Made by GM? Come on... It was made in England by Lotus, doesn't matter if GM owned some shares in that time lapse.
Beautiful car.
Must be a really light car. 260-280hp doesn't usually go 4.5sec to 60 and 12.9 quarter. Wonder what the torque was.
Underrrated power as overboosted, but would heat soak badly.
Esse é um arraso sensacional 👍👍 muito bonito
Peter Stevens restyling is very good. Beautiful car. I see prices of these skyrocketing. Why? Because there's nothing good looking to buy today.

Still my dream car. I'll also take the used YUGO
Nice phil Collins on the radio
I just snatched a sweet Sony tape deck and it came with a vent disguise -late 80's teen

4.5 sec and 280bhp wow!
Saw one today on the road and raced it with my 87 celica hatchback and I still won cant beat this yota
Daniel Maldonado was the esprit parked?
Such an incredibly sexy car! The Lotus Esprit is the Lauren Morrison of cars!
Faster than the Ferrari of its day
Are you going to be uploading that stream from the other night?!!!!! At least in individual parts?!!!!!
Those are good performance numbers from a 2.2L 4 cyl. turbo with 264 hp.. Even a modern 4 cyl. turbo of similar size would need about another 100 hp to beat those numbers, like the Ford Focus RS or a Mercedes Benz GLA45 AMG .
In 1989😮 4.5 sec is the fastest car in world😮
4.5 0-60
Wow!!
I Remember Seeing Lotus Esprit's in Movies, Pretty Woman, The Rookie 1990, If Looks Could Kill
John has curly hair?
That's the model in which Richard Gere picks up Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman
In terms of design, i have to go with the earlier Esprit, (the James Bond's For Yr Eyes Only Esprit) just my thought though
4.5 in the wet?
3:17
Oops.... I guess the secrets out now.
I lol'd. Gonna go steal me a tape deck now...
A disguise to hide the radio. 😂
Once I sat in one and revved it
Man, this baby must corner like it's on rails !
but are those rails also following the corner? :)

I used to have a Lotus Europa and one guy I gave a lift to said it was like a tram on steroids.
Toyota Corolla Levin tail lamps.
As a kid I always thought these were Toyota tail lights, I always just told myself I was crazy.
But the Lotus wears those lights pretty cool!
Most cars on the road borrow parts, why should Lotus be different
by far the best 007 Bond car, clean lines and angles , compared to everything else today all the cookie cutter carbon copy clone cars, just needed a hefty V12 over a scampy 4 cyL peanuts engine
Is it just me or does every episode pre 1990 have the name testarossa mentioned I think he likes saying it

I think Toyota makes engines for Lotus these days.
ULCC Lotus Elise, Evora and Exige are all new models. Probably mispelled Exige.
Quentin 33 no, that was right, and I don't kno if they *make* them for lotus, but lotus *does* use Toyota engines now
yungkidnf Agreed.
These days Lotus share their chassis with Kia Sorrento, Audi E-Tron, Jaguar F-type and VW Transporter
You all know that is tailights from a Corolla AE86?
Citroen transmission, air dams, side skirls and door mirrors.
So, can it drift now?
I sure didn’t. Wow. Thanks for the knowledge.
yes, they are the same as Rover. Also Aston DB7 used 1991 Mazda 323F rear lights and the Noble M400 had mk1 Ford Mondeo ones.
dcanmore The transmission was by Renault, not by Citroen!!
The Lotus Sprit became popular after "Basic Instincs" and "Pretty Woman" pictures
The same engine was available in the Dodge Daytona and Dodge Spirit in the early 90s as special order, albeit with an air-to-air intercooler and only 224hp... True story
That was not the same engine. Only the head was designed by Lotus on the Chrysler engine
I don’t know why I laughed when he said 15’s in the front 16’s in the rear. My have times changed.
I know, right. But the design and low profile of the car made the wheels look larger.
Yes and why is that? Very big and heavy cars with way more power than anyone needs.
Colin Chapman always added lighness, then big "anything" is not needed.
