This original 2000 Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo V8 has only 40,694 miles and is finished in Aluminum Metallic (B35) over black leather. All maintenance and services are up to date, with the most recent being an engine-out major service “C” performed by Lotus of Jacksonville, FL. The exterior paint is in excellent condition, and the interior is also well-preserved. The dashboard leather has slightly shrunk due to the car’s age. This Esprit is in full working mechanical condition and ready to drive. It features a Lotus-built DOHC 3.5L flat-plane crank Twin Turbo V8 engine, producing 350 HP and 295 ft-lb of torque, with a top speed of 175 mph. The engine is paired with a Renault 5-speed manual transmission. This example is one of fewer than 1,300 Lotus Esprit V8s ever built.
