History

The Lotus Esprit S2 JPS is a rare and iconic sports car that was created by Lotus Engineering in collaboration with the John Player Special (JPS) cigarette brand. The car was designed as a limited edition model to celebrate Lotus‘ success in Formula One during the 1970s. 

The Esprit S2 JPS features a sleek and aerodynamic body design that is finished in black and gold livery, which was also used on the Lotus F1 cars of the era. The car is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces up to 160 horsepower, which is mated to a manual transmission. 

The interior of the Esprit S2 JPS is fully customized and features leather seats with JPS logos, a high-end sound system, and air conditioning. The car also includes advanced suspension and braking systems, which enable it to deliver a thrilling driving experience. 

The Lotus Esprit S2 JPS is considered a rare and collectible car, with only a few hundred examples produced.
