The Lotus Esprit is the supercar of the Lotus range. When the word Lotus is mentioned, it usually conjures images of legend-beating lightweight cars with low amounts of power but high amounts of grip, but not this one. This lotus is a supercar. Our version of the car, the Esprit V8RC, churns out 715bhp and it only weighs 1144kg. Also, we have only fitted a front splitter for aerodynamic stability, so a hell of a lot of tuning was required for this thing to handle. But, we managed it. Sure, it understeers a bit but it's a small price to pay considering it still looks like the esprit should. Sleek and unspoilt by big rear wings. Have fun.

Hey,

Sent you a PSN before but thought i'd give you abit of praise on here.

I bought the Esprit and tried it and thought it was a ok car then put it back in the garage to never use again, I stumbled upon this tune so thought i'd try it, I have it say its rocks!

Its handles superb online and even better offline, plus i've never seen anybody else using it online so its abit unique.

Anyway great tune and i'm definitely gonna check out more tunes from you guys :)
 
I fully tuned an Espirit V8 early on in my GT5 life which I found a lot of fun to slide around the track but not really up to the challenge of cars with similar PP. Might be with this tune, though, so I'll give it a try! I love the cockpit view for this car as well so cheers for this reason to spend some more time inside it. :)
 
Using this tune on a 400 HP version with a wing for the british lightweight seasonal event. Pulled a 6'5X''XXX lap time. Tune is great, thank you Team Lotus.
 
Thank you for sharing this. I installed a rear wing though.

I like this car, but the handling was difficult. I play with a controller, without aids.

Sorry for bumping this thread
