SUMMARY

The S4s 2.2-litre Turbo was the ultimate development of the four-cylinder turbocharged Lotus Esprit prior to the arrival of the V8 cars. Only 367 were produced and this surely must be one of the very best.

DESCRIPTION

  • The final development of the four-cylinder, 2.2-litre turbocharged Esprit, the S4s (the factory used a small 's') was born from Lotus customers telling the company that they wanted their Esprit to be as fast as the ultra-quick and raw Sport 300 but with the comfort and flexibility of the standard S4
  • This UK-supplied, right-hand drive S4s is finished in Calyspo Red over cream and has covered less than 50,000 miles 
  • Despite being in very good condition, a previous patently fastidious owner set about dismantling the Esprit and putting it back together again with painstaking detail
  • A subsequent multi-page feature in Absolute Lotus magazine asked the question, 'Is this the best Lotus Esprit S4s in existence?'
  • It has been in a private collection for a number of years and was lightly used
  • These are rare cars and with less than 50,000 miles, this gleaming Calypso Red example is worthy of your close inspection
