The Lotus Esprit Turbo SE represented a bold evolution of Lotus’s flagship supercar, blending the unmistakable wedge-shaped silhouette with refined aerodynamics and serious performance upgrades.
At its heart sat a turbocharged 2.2L 16-valve engine, paired with Lotus’s Chargecooler system, producing an impressive ~264BHP.
This gave the Esprit SE the ability to accelerate from 0-60MPH in just ~4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of ~165MPH - figures that firmly placed it among the quickest cars of its era.
The engineering went beyond outright speed; Lotus’s legendary chassis tuning ensured razor-sharp handling, remarkable balance, and driver feedback that few rivals could match.
Lightweight construction and mid-engine layout provided agility and poise through corners, making the SE a genuine drivers' car in every sense.
Styled by Peter Stevens, the Turbo SE carried a sleeker, more modern look while still paying homage to Giorgetto Giugiaro’s original design.
