Description

The Lotus Esprit: A Masterpiece of Design and Technology Launched in 1976, the Lotus Esprit remained at the forefront of its market segment for almost three decades. Its design underwent regular refreshment, with notable updates from Giorgetto Giugiaro and Peter Stevens. This evolution enabled the Esprit to maintain its position alongside top rivals from Germany and Italy. The Esprit's versatility was evident in both racing and road applications. It competed on equal terms with Ferrari and McLaren in international GT racing, while selling at a fraction of their cost in showrooms. The legacy of this iconic model can be seen in current Lotus designs, which prioritize handling, steering feedback, and feel. With over 300 images, including professional photos, factory archive pictures, and specially commissioned artworks, as well as interviews with key personnel involved in Esprit production, this book is a fitting tribute to the Esprit's enduring impact on the automotive world.
