Since its production ended a few years ago, Lotus lovers the world over have been begging Lotus to bring back the Esprit. They have finally listened. A prototype Esprit has been spotted tearing up English roads. There is not much information out about which engines will be available, but sources say Lotus will go with either a 4.4 liter engine, or a 4.8 BMW engine given Lotus' magic touch. Pictures show the engine will once again be longitudinally rear mounted, giving it that necessary Esprit touch. Coming along with the Esprit in 2008 will be a convertible/roadster Esprit, offered for the first time by Lotus. Expect prices to be around $130,000.
