1984 Lotus Esprit S3
"1984 Lotus Esprit S3"
While residing in Little Rock in them metal music days, where the beloved Hogs will always be constantly called, I used to follow a 1980's Lotus to the gym on my motorcycle when I was an adolescent, into the belief that muscles made a tough guy, which of course is not true for the redneck scrapper, him fueled by spirit alone. Anyway, here are some specs for the 1984 Lotus Esprit S3--this version more prominent in Europe.
RWD with manual 5-Speed gearbox.
120.2 Cubic Inches, though I may be a bit thrown off by the Metric System.
Cylinder Alignment: Line 4.
2 Carburetors.
160 horsepower.
160 lb-ft torque.
Still, the performance is uncanny--like this:
0-60: 6.7 Seconds.
Quarter Mile: Around 15 Seconds.
Top Speed: 138 Miles-Per-Hour.
