Lotus Esprit V-8: introduction and technical analysis

Article Abstract:

The Lotus Esprit, with the brand-new 350-bhp compact aluminum-block V-8, has entered the true supercar class, and is a worthy challenger to the Porsche 911 Turbo of Ferrari F355. The powerplant produces 295 lb-ft of torque, and the superb drive is only slightly spoiled by a difficult Renault gearbox.
