A touch of history:
The Lotus Esprit S1, introduced in 1976, was an iconic work of British automotive design in the 1970s. Designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, this mid-engined supercar boasted angular, futuristic lines. Under its bonnet, the S1 housed a turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, delivering impressive performance for its time.
In the early 1980s, the Lotus Esprit S1 also found its way onto modified production car racing circuits thanks to the presence of drivers such as Gerry Marshall. Although Gerry Marshall is more commonly associated with Vauxhalls, he showed his talent at the wheel of the Lotus Esprit S1. However, despite its speed, the car was plagued by reliability issues, including problems with the braking system.
Despite these challenges, the Lotus Esprit S1 retained its appeal with its striking looks and sporting heritage. Today, it remains a popular choice for classic sports car enthusiasts of the 80s, adding a distinctive touch to any supercar grid of the era.
