Legendary Lotus Esprit returns as PS430,000 restomod
British startup Encor is bringing back the legendary Lotus Esprit as the Series 1, a super-limited restomod dropping November 2025.
Built on a completely rebuilt late-1990s twin-turbo V8, only 50 will be made, starting at £430,000 (about ₹4.6cr)—and that's before you add your own custom touches.
Series 1 swaps old-school fiberglass for carbon-fiber body
The Series 1 swaps old-school fiberglass for a lighter carbon-fiber body but keeps that iconic wedge shape and pop-up headlights—now with LED tech.
Inside, it's all premium materials like leather and Alcantara plus modern features: Apple CarPlay, a 360° camera, and advanced climate controls.
If you're into rare cars, this 1 definitely stands out
Engineers from Pagani, Koenigsegg, and Aston Martin helped make sure this isn't just for show—it's got real supercar performance and daily usability.
If you're into rare cars with both heritage and high-tech vibes (and have deep pockets), this one definitely stands out.
