1990 Lotus Esprit Turbo “S/E” Coupe

Incredible…Only 9,380 Original Miles. (360 average annual miles). 1-OF-698 Esprit Turbos built for model year production! 1-OF-328 (ap) built for US Production model year. 1-OF-4 (ap) in Canada for entire model year! Lotus 2.2 Liter DOHC Turbocharged hand-built motor producing 264bhp motor with 261 ft.lbs/torque. 5-Speed Manual Transmission, 4-Wheel Independent Suspension, 4-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes, Garrett T3 turbocharger, water-cooled with integral wastegate. Engine mounted intake Chargecooler with independent mechanically driven liquid cooling system. Front mounted Chargecooler heat exchanger. This top of the line fourth generation Lotus Esprit Turbo SE is finished in classic British Racing Green over Tan leather, and was delivered new to Virginia. The charge cooled “SE” Esprit derivative was the most powerful variant, with the most accelerative power and the fastest selling Esprit to date, with 264bhp and 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. From its formal unveiling on 10 May 1989 to the close of its debut year, the 160mph Lotus Esprit Turbo SE recorded production of only 698 units. Naturally, this was the most expensive Esprit to date. The SE did embrace a number of standard items of proven showroom appeal. These included a walnut burr fascia, leather trim, lift out tilt sunroof, and air conditioning. Carefully maintained but sparingly used, fewer than 9,500 original miles are registered on the odometer. Complete with an extensive service history, tool roll, owner’s manual, clean CARFAX, and AutoCheck reports, this sleek sports car is the perfect machine in which to tear up the backroads. CERTIFIED AND EMISSION TESTED! Rarely offered for sale, an incredible opportunity!
