Renting the 1985 Lotus Esprit

This 1985 Lotus Esprit page is written for a car by the month: the car first, then renting it from us. There is no long contract: stop at the end of any booking. One booking runs up to 365 days and renews with a new agreement.

What the specs mean

It uses the 2.2L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The combined figure, 16.8 L/100 km, means roughly 50 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $26.04 at our price setting.

Practical details

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

Who it is for

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
