1999 Lotus Esprit Sport 350
Car No. 11 of 48 (the factory press car)
Taking the already extreme V8 GT further, the Sport 350 was one of the most exclusive Esprits made and was the fastest and best performing of them all. The Sport 350 features the standard-spec V8 but is differentiated by the blue-painted intake manifolds. What really sets the 350 Sport apart from the V8 GT was a number of brake, suspension and chassis improvements.
Lowering the kerb weight was a primary design focus for Sport 350. For this goal, special magnesium wheels were employed. At the time of manufacture, these were the lightest wheels available on the market. Also reducing the weight, was a lightweight bodyshell. In total, the engineers managed to shed 80 kgs off the standard V8 GT.
Apart from the weight reduction, the other major change to Sport 350 was its braking system. Exclusive to the car are 320mm discs with blue-painted AP Racing Calipers. When Lotus engineers designed this car, they wanted it to be the fastest stopping Esprit. And it was. The car could go from 60 to 0 mph in just 3. 2 seconds.
Externally, a large carbon-fibre rear wing was added (similar to the wing used on the X190R racecar) Indeed the Sport 350 had one of the most prominent wings to adorn a road car.
