Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Lotus Esprit S1, a car that caused a sensation from the moment it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1975. Conceived by visionary Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, the S1 revolutionised the automotive world with its bold design and cutting-edge performance. A fascinating anecdote surrounds the design process of the Lotus Esprit S1: Giorgetto Giugiaro is said to have found the inspiration for the car's distinctive shape during a walk on an Italian beach. Contemplating the waves breaking on the shore, he is said to have sketched the first lines of the S1 in the sand, capturing the essence of its iconic design. Production of the Lotus Esprit S1 was limited, making it a rarity in the classic car market. Only 894 examples were produced, giving each S1 an aura of exclusivity and prestige that attracts connoisseurs from around the world. From its fibreglass bodywork to its aerodynamic lines, every element has been meticulously designed to merge form and function in harmony. Under the bonnet, the Lotus Esprit S1 houses an in-line 4-cylinder engine, offering an exquisite combination of power and agility: a 160bhp 2. 0l. Preserved in impeccable condition, it bears witness to the respect and admiration of its previous owners.
