The engine is connected to a 1985 Porsche 911 transaxle, sending power to the rear wheels. The car has Compomotive wheels matched with 1977 BMW 531 rear brake calipers. Inside, the cabin has the original interior, a Cyberdyne digital memory speedometer, and a dash signed by Mario Andretti himself.
The Kissimmee Auction 2024 will happen in Florida on January 2-14, 2024. With Lotus transitioning to an all-electric lineup championed by the likes of the Lotus Eletre, this 1979 Esprit JPS Edition could be your ticket to driving an old-school combustion sports car with a strong motorsports history.
The same auction house will be joined by remarkable lots, including an ultra-rare 1964 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Speciale, which could be sold for nine figures.
