1998 Lotus Esprit GT 3.
A good idea, this Esprit GT 3. The engine is a tad smaller ( 2 liters versus 2, 2 ), a tad less powerful ( 240 HP versus 263 ), but the performances are very similar, because the GT 3 is 40 kilos lighter.
In production for two or three years, this version is quite appealing.

And a couple of photos ( Top Gear ) with the Emira. 2 very different eras!
The Esprit remains my favorite, here. Especially this GT3.
Best,
Nicolas

The design has aged extremely well
That is also a stunning example, most of the ones I've seen were falling apart, especially the interior. I contemplated the Evora on multiple occasions, first the S and the later 400 in particular, even attended the Tokyo launch a few years back but there...
Personally still more a fan of the in-house 3,5 V8 👌🏻👍🏻
But the design of this generation is still one of my favorite car shapes of all times 👌🏻👍🏻
