Lotus is the kind of car company that does the opposite of what we generally cover here at IG. We like big engines and sometimes big cars that make a lot of noise and often look faster then they are. The folks at Lotus see things differently. Lighter is better and horsepower is not terribly important. The result are some pretty cool cars that can blister a race track. We actually like those too, but with myself being a large and somewhat tall man, and Reno making the Jolly Green Giant short we don’t exactly fit in a Lotus.
Still thanks to a video from a get together of Lotus enthusiasts we can show you the evolution of every Lotus Esprit made since the mid 1970s. It’s a pretty neat video and it’s only a couple minutes long. Hit the jump and check it out.
