\"Lotus<\/a><\/p>\n

Renegade Hybrids<\/a> is known for their V8 powered Porsche projects but they recently branched out to build a V8 powered Lotus. This Turbo Esprit is powered by an E-Rod 6.2 L LS3 crate engine that produces 430 horsepower. Much more power than the 215 hp the factory 2.2 L inline-four produced. Which also means the factory transaxle has been replaced with a Porsche model to handle the extra power. If you’re interested in also having some pushrod goodness in your Lotus then you are in luck because Renegade Hybrids is working on<\/del> sells an Esprit swap kit.<\/p>\n
