Extreme lotus esprit
Extreme lotus esprit.
Very fast esprit.
350HP V8 Lotus esprit may seem like plenty enough for most people, but I like to put the esprit to the test and see how much one can get out of the car. The esprit is really not very difficult to work on and modifying it is fairly easy as well. It is not a car where bolt on kits are available, so real engineering and fabrication efforts are required. The esprit isn't very different than any other car to work on. Many times spare parts can be found from alternative sources. Like the tail lights are can be sourced from Toyota and so fourth. My car is designed for high speed racing with a long list of modifications that I am sharing on this web site. I hope you find it useful and entertaining.
I am not sure how much horsepower my 1997 Lotus esprit have, but it should be in the range of 550+ HP without propane or NOS injection. The car has been driven competitively in the Silverstate, Boneville and many other events. It has also done very well in several national car shows like NOPI and others.
Superbee is a 550HP + monster designed for open road racing. It has undergone significant mods. to reach what it is today. It is designed to sustain speeds beyond 200MPH and acceerate 0-60 in less than 4 sec.
And some specs.
Some of the specs include:
Custom Cams
Reflowed Turbos
Larger Injectors
Racing ECU
Custom Exhaust
Lightweight Flywheel
Twin SSBOVs
Twin Intercooled
Performance Intakes
4" Widebody
Custom GT Wing
Kinesis Wheels 18" 335/30 tires rear
Firesystem
Fuel Cells
Kill Switch
Custom Steering Wheel
10 Point Welded Rollcage
Racing Seats
6 Point Harnesses

That's Johan Hybinette's car. I met him last time he was in the uk.. seems pretty sane when you meet him but his car is mental.
Its dyno'd at 712 bhp with the propane & nos.
Here's a pic of the engine bay, awesome:
That car has run 10 second quarter, plus over 200mph at bonneville..

This car is great!...the factory spec uses a V-6 with a twin turbo, so it could have plenty of tunning options for this car...and also plenty of HP's can pumped from its engine...but please, remove that spots...it makes the car looks like a dalmatian dog
