1996-2004 Lotus Esprit V8 nominated by @All Your Base
Engines: 3.5L Turbo V8 (Lotus Type 918)
Power: 350 hp
Torque: 295 lb-ft.
Weight: Sport 350: 1300 kg; base, SE, GT; 1380 kg
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Drivetrain: Mid engine, rear wheel drive
Body Styles: 2-door coupe
Additional Info: "Was supposed to have a potential 500 horsepower, but detuned to 350 due to the fragility of the Renault transmission. The V8 range was split in 1998 into the SE and GT. The ultimate incarnation, the Sport 350 was introduced in 1999. Only 50 were made. Thereafter, Lotus made little development aside from minor cosmetic changes including a switch to four round tail lights for the 2002 model year. Esprit production ceased in February 2004 after a 28 year production run."
