Description
When the S4 Esprit was replaced by the S4S, power jumped to 300bhp, with 290 lbs./ ft. of torque on tap.
To achieve these figures, Lotus made changes to the cylinder head, and fitted an updated ECM and Garret turbocharger.
This added up to serious on road performance, with 0-60mph dispatched in a mere 4. 6 seconds on the way to a top speed of 168 mph – impressive numbers in anyone's language.
Equally impressive was the handling, with a 0. 91g figure achieved on the skidpan.
The S4s was distinguished by the larger rear wing from the Sport 300, new OZ five-spoke alloy rims, Brembo brakes, and also had the distinction of being the end of the line for the four-cylinder Esprit.
The car offered today I a 1996 S4S.
