Lotus Esprit Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1987–1993)

Lotus Esprit Engines and Transmissions

The Lotus Esprit engine sits behind the cabin and drives the rear wheels. Turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder versions combine strong acceleration with a manual transmission that keeps you involved in every shift. When overtaking, choosing a lower gear can help you access the engine’s stronger response as boost builds.
