Now this is a cool car!
Ladies and Gentlemen Il give you the Lotus Esprit S3 Turbo!
The S3 continued to use the 2.2 L type 912 engine of the S2.2, whilst the Turbo Esprit reverted to a less complex wet-sump lubrication system, retaining the power and torque outputs of its dry-sump predecessor.
The interior for both cars was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds this resulted in more headroom and an enlarged footwell.
Externally, the Turbo Esprit retained the full aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars, and featured prominent 'turbo esprit' decals on the nose and sides; the S3 gained the more substantial bumpers, yet retained the simpler sill line and glazed rear hatch of the S2.2 body style.
Both models were supplied with 15" BBS alloy wheels.

You may recognice this car from the movie For your eyes only (James Bond) with Roger Moore from 1981.

0-60 MPH (97 KMH) was done in 6.1 sec and the top speed is 150 MPH (240 KMH)

Power is 210 HP (157kW) and 270 Newton in torque.
The weight is 1148 KG.

There is no doubt that this car is capable to kick some ***!

Just look at this beautie!
