Encor Series 1 | Lotus Esprit S1 Restomod (V8 Specs, Engineering & Heritage Explained)

The Encor Series 1 is a carbon-fibre remaster of the original Lotus Esprit, engineered 50 years after its debut. In this technical documentary, we explore the Encor Series 1 in detail, focusing on its carbon-fibre bodyshell, rebuilt 3.5-litre twin-turbo V8, Lotus backbone chassis, manual transmission, suspension, braking and interior engineering. Power comes from a comprehensively rebuilt Lotus-derived 3.5-litre twin-turbo V8 producing approximately 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, targeting a kerb weight under 1,200 kg. Performance figures include 0–62 mph in around 4 seconds and a top speed close to 175 mph. Limited to just 50 cars worldwide, the Encor Series 1 represents a modern interpretation of one of the most important British sports cars ever built. #lotus #lotusesprit #restomod #classiccars SUBSCRIBE TO CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6IKxew0eG8FQWl89nCv-3A?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | https://ift.tt/f1tBmDg Instagram | https://ift.tt/VCxthlE Pinterest | https://ift.tt/vlxgIoJ X/Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/MotorSpexx Threads | https://ift.tt/sE5879H Tumblr | https://ift.tt/uPi9DAR Blog | https://ift.tt/vJEQisf
