This 2003 Lotus Esprit V8 is finished in New Lotus Yellow over black leather and is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V8 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 17? and 18? OZ Monoblock Nova wheels, Brembo disc brakes, pop-up headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a Pioneer head unit. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2024 and it now has 18k miles. This Esprit is now offered in Florida with a clean Carfax report and a clean Ohio title.
The final iteration of the Esprit was introduced in 2002 and featured a redesigned tail panel with round taillights. This example is finished in New Lotus Yellow (B36) and exterior details include a front spoiler, a removable roof panel, a rear wing, pop-up headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable side mirrors, and central dual exhaust outlets. The front bumper shows an area of clearcoat peel, the trunk lid has a scratch, and the left window molding has received touch-up paint.
The chrome-finished 17? front and 18? rear OZ Monoblock Nova wheels show pitting and are mounted with Sumitomo HTR ZII tires. Braking is handled by ventilated Brembo discs at each corner.
The seating surfaces are trimmed in black leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include yellow seat piping, a heated rear window, air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a Pioneer head unit.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 220-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 18k miles, approximately 5 of which were added under current ownership.
The mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 3.5L V8 was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle.
