About the 1997 Lotus Esprit
Searching for car subscription? Here is the 1997 Lotus Esprit: what it is like and how to rent it. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 14.7 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 44 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $257.30.
Good uses for the Esprit
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Size and space
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
