Twin-Turbo V8 Lotus Esprit Revival by Encor

The Encor Series 1 is a modern revival of the iconic Lotus Esprit S1, featuring a twin-turbo V8 engine producing 400 hp. Built by Encor Design, this limited-edition sports car preserves the classic wedge shape while integrating contemporary technology, including a carbon-fiber body and modern suspension from the Sport 350. The interior blends classic styling with modern amenities like a touchscreen infotainment system and digital gauge cluster. A Quaife-rebuilt Renault UN1 transaxle with a helical limited-slip differential manages power delivery. Priced at around $580,000, this restomod maintains the spirit of the original while offering enhanced performance and luxury.
