Lotus Esprit Engines and Transmissions
Look at a Lotus Esprit engine in this generation as a petrol unit in a Coupe, with a manual gearbox sending drive to the rear wheels. Selected examples include the 2.0 MT and 2.2 MT, plus the 3.5 MT. That powertrain and drivetrain pairing keeps the car light and involving.
