2003.5 Lotus Esprit Final Edition V8TT
 

I have one of the last Esprit's they ever made, supposedly 1 of 33 in the states. They are titled as 2003.5 in California to get around some type of emissions regulation but they are 2004MY cars in every other state. The car is black on black, interior is 9.9/10, exterior is 9/10. I only say 9/10 because the whole body is made of fiberglass and even new they aren't 10's :)

Car is incredibly quick, only mod was removal of Cats and it dyno'd almost 400whp. These cars are rated at 350 crank hp and the final editions had the factory installed "high torque" ECU code to bump up the power. At 2800 lbs it is unreal how this thing feels and handles. It's never been on a track, never launched and believe it or not I don't know where it red lines because I've never felt the need to find it. I've heard 7000RPM-7400RPM, but don't know for sure. A compression test was done 2,000 miles ago in summer 2011 showing a perfect 150 compression on all cylinders. Service and oil changes done at Lamborghini of Calabassas and Raging Bull Performance in Costa Mesa.

Final Editions had diamond stitched leather, adjustable suspension, tire pressure monitor and are as reliable as they come. Car has had no major issues in my possession and gets the right kind of attention. Comes with hard top, glass top extra floor mats and car cover as well.

I'll upload some pix this weekend. It has been my weekend car for a few years it's not a garage queen but hasn't been abused either. Car is located in Orange County, CA. I'm willing to give test drives, but no one is sitting in the drivers seat without cash in hand. I'm not in a rush to sell it, but it's either play with my lotus or get a house. The time is here to move on but it certainly won't hate keeping it a while longer :)

email me as I'll be posting it for sale elsewhere and will be hard to check pm's. Price is O.B.O.
