The original engine was a 2.2 litre four cylinder from Lotus, the gearbox which was used in this car was bought from Citroën. This engine can’t be called a true monster, this is why the owner decided to mount an other, bigger, engine in his Esprit. The engine that can now be found in this car is an Audi 4.3 litre V8. The car now sounds just like an Audi RS4!
