Lotus Esprit

Lotus is distinguished by great handling and light weight, getting incredible racing performance out of cars that are lighter and less powerful than their competition. The original Esprit was in this tradition, though more of a supercar than any previous Lotus and with eye-catching futuristic looks. Sold as an exotic, it suffered a bit in comparison to other cars with bigger engines, so over its lifetime the Esprit gained a turbo and four more cylinders.

I love the original 70s futurist look. The 80s redesign is a small evolution, and the 90s version became more rounded and less distinctive (though still appealing). I'd like a mid-80s turbo, with the James Bond enhancements.
