1999 Lotus Esprit

Now available at Premier GT is this 1999 (T) Lotus Esprit V8 Sport 350, finished in Metallic Silver and covering 47,080 miles.

The Lotus Esprit V8 Sport 350 represents the pinnacle of British sports car engineering from the late 1990s. This hand-built supercar combines Lotus's legendary lightweight philosophy with serious V8 power, creating one of the most focused driving machines of its era.

At its heart lies a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V8 engine producing 350 horsepower, enabling the Sport 350 to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 175 mph. The engine's mid-mounted position provides perfect weight distribution, while the twin-turbo setup delivers explosive power delivery that defines the car's character.

The Sport 350's wedge-shaped silhouette remains true to Giorgetto Giugiaro's iconic 1970s design, but with subtle aerodynamic refinements. The distinctive angular bodywork, crafted from lightweight fibreglass, houses advanced features like adjustable suspension, powerful AP Racing brakes, and a sophisticated traction control system. The interior blends spartan functionality with luxury touches, featuring leather and alcantara seats, carbon fibre accents, and a driver-focused cockpit.

What truly sets the Sport 350 apart, is its rarity. With a total of 54 ever produced and only 42 of those being supplied here in the UK, the Esprit V8 Sport 350 stands as a rare and highly sought-after collector's piece – the ultimate expression of Lotus's "simplify, then add lightness" philosophy married to genuine supercar performance.
