The final iteration of the Esprit was introduced in 2002 and featured a redesigned tail panel with round taillights. This example is finished in Silver Metallic (B92) and features a body-color removable roof panel and a tinted glass roof panel. Additional equipment includes a front lip spoiler, a rear wing, pop-up headlights, and central dual-exhaust outlets. The Carfax report notes damage to the left rear and rear of the car in June 2019 from a sideswipe collision. The left-rear quarter panel was refinished, and the rear bumper and left-rear wheel well liner and wheel arch trim are said to have been replaced following the accident. Blemishes are visible on the lower front valence.
Staggered-width 17″ and 18″ alloy wheels are mounted with mixed Michelin tires. Stopping power is provided by ventilated cross-drilled rotors at all four corners with Lotus-branded AP Racing calipers in the front. Spax adjustable coilovers are fitted in the rear.
The interior features manually adjustable bucket seats upholstered in black leather with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Equipment includes an Alpine audio system, air conditioning, and Lotus-branded floor mats as well as power windows, mirrors, and door locks. The driver-side window regulator was replaced in May 2021. Wear is visible on the driver-side seat bolster piping.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 220-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 26k miles. A Lotus-Evora sourced steering wheel is included in the sale.
The mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The radiator cooling fan was replaced in 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The gearbox oil and clutch fork pin were replaced in May 2021. Additional underbody photos are included in the image gallery below.
