Lotus Esprit

==Description==
The Lotus Esprit is a sports car built by United Kingdom car company Lotus. The 2002 First Edition version is based off of the Lotus Esprit S4S model equipped with a V8 engine.
The casting was retooled in 2015 for cost cutting; the spoiler was cast into the metal body.

==2008 card==
From the back of the 2008 card:
Born: 1976
Birthplace: Hethel, Norfolk, England
Designer: Lotus Cars
Specialty: The name is Esprit...Lotus Esprit. Lightweight and super fast with a fiberglass body and a V8 engine, it's no secret why this British beauty is the perfect spy car - originally made famous in a classic James Bond film. The Esprit goes from double zero to 60 in under 5 seconds. Beat that!
