Sexiest rear wing

[Barrykearley]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - nice track car for sure

Does have a slight essence of twatness

[Vanya]

While we're on the subject of race-modded-and-entirely-fucking-unsellable Swedish Esprits...here's another!

This car is an abortion.  It looks like something from Condorman.  It needs to be saved.

 

[Barrykearley]

Sure does - two nice gold strips up the bonnet and over the roof should do the trick.......

Reckon it looks as mean as hell itself - here goes....... ( hiding ) a part of me likes it

[Jacques]

I like it. While I wouldn't like to have it as my only Esprit, I would surely like it as another Esprit.

I also think it would make the jar on every single child and riser-tuner hit the ground in a seriously fast movement = expensive dentist bills

Those Öhlins are not the cheapest and worst suspension components on the planet. Me like. A lot.

 

Kind regards,

Jacques.

I love it to be honest. So okay, the Originalistas don't like it but it has been done and that is the owner's prerogative (something like the Rover V8 engined Esprit I read on here). There's something quite horny about outrageousness that turns me on too...

[Jacques]

Well, to be honest, it does not turn me on. But it does make me want to turn it's ignition key on.     

Warm it up and give it some beans. And isn't that the purpose of a great sportscar?

 

Another thing is that many cars which are given the full monty in "add-on" treatment of parts, spoilers, what not, simply looks stupid. This Esprit had the full catalogue too, but it just made it look even meaner and faster.

 

Cheers,

Jacques.

I want those **** off back wheels and arches on mine now...

 

Ah man

[Barrykearley]

I've just zoomed in on those........

Off for the Kleenex

[Jacques]

It's going to be an ecpensive Winther this forth coming one, Alan...    

And a seriously big Christmas tree to hide all those presents...

 

Cheers,

Jacques.

[Barrykearley]

Needs the bigger rears to keep it in a straight line

[Jacques]

Is something wrong with your eye, Barry? 

 

Sounds like a nice fast Esprit you have.

Maybe I should go wish for some Warp 3 parts this coming birthday???

 

Cheers,

Jacques,

HA HA HA H AHAAAHAHHAHA

 

You're ace Barry

 

We need to drink beers together

[swindon_alan]

Just realised where I have seen those rear wheels before.

 

I hope that they grip a bit better or indeed, I'm in the poo again...

[Jacques]

The steering too might be slightly compromised...

But at least there is ample room for wearing a propper helmet when dooing track days.

But the thinly padded steering Wheel must be a plus for the classic-minded drivers.

 

Cheers,

Jacques.

[Barrykearley]

So to confirm big is indeed best.

say the late 1998 is indeed a superb example of bestness

S4 - end of :-)

Why is this topic still going after the above?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[DanR]

Double wing....nooooo

[Chillidoggy]

Is it an S4S4s?

[Sparky]

Worked on one with those 2 wings a while back.  Owner thought it looked well cool.

[eeyoreish]

XR4i ?

[swindon_alan]

I think that it is a work in progress, here's the finished article.

That's better.
