The Lotus Esprit Turbo SE is a custom car by Zapper.
Starting from 2011, the Lotus is one of the custom cars allowed in ZakStunts.
Development
The 3d shape was done almost from scratch based from blueprints edited with "Anim8or" and "Stressed" programs.
The dashboard was based on a Lotus Esprit exemplar from the "Test Drive 2 - The Duel" Amiga version since it's composed in 256 colors. It was further edited to match wood colored background as stated from real photos of 1989 specific model.
There is a "British racing green" and the "007 white" paint jobs but unfortunately other aspects like amphibious features from the film examplar.
Performance
In Stunts, the performance of Lotus Esprit belongs to the niche of cars such as the Acura NSX and Nissan Skyline but it has the turbo "punch" that improves the 0-60mph mark.
Within such a class, its main attractives are enjoyable handling and excellent ability to deal with adverse surface conditions. It was fine tuned with help of "CarTest4.5" simulation program.
