Additional Information
The Lotus Esprit HC is a version of the the Lotus Esprit sports car known for its "Higher compression" engine. 135 were produced between 1986 and 1987, it was the final and most refined iteration of the original Giugiaro-designed "wedge" Esprit before the model was redesigned. This makes the HC a sought-after car for collectors who appreciate the original Giugiaro design.
Fitted with the 910 2.2 engine the HC model produces 215 BHP compared to the 160BHP of the standard model and is coupled with a 5 speed manual gearbox.
0 - 60mph in the day was 5.3 seconds. Impressive even today!
