Description
In 2002 the Lotus Esprit reached a milestone in its illustrious history.
Unveiled in 1972 as a styling concept at the Turin Motor Show, the Esprit entered production in the mid-1970s, and today is accepted as being one of the world’s finest supercars.
To celebrate 30 years of this performance car, Lotus gave the Esprit a facelift as Russell Carr, Chief of Design at Lotus explains: "The Lotus Esprit is an iconic design, a classic blend of traditional supercar razor sharp edges combined with design elements that have evolved over three decades.
Therefore, we decided not to change the car dramatically for 2002 as this would be changing the true spirit of the Esprit, a classic supercar." The resulting car was known as the 'Facelift '02 V8' in the UK.
The redesigned rear panel and light cluster, which featured round rear lights set in pairs, carried over some of the (then) new Elise design elements and the front inherited the lip spoiler from the legendary Sport 350.
