Bond car. This series 2 was nicer looking than the mk1. Essex Turbo Esprit (1980) had dry sump type 910 engine which has a power output of 213 PS (157 kW; 210 hp) at 6,250 rpm and 200 lb⋅ft (271 N⋅m) of torque at 4,500 rpm. Acceleration from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) could be done in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).

The car is very light so it can make those horses count. Although I’m not so big fan of the Essex liveries.

Would really really love if the FH4 one from the James Bond car pack made a return. It doesn’t need the submersible body kit, the base car was solid.

FM3/4 also had an earlier generation Esprit which I had fallen in love with, I miss these cars!

That esprit was only available in FM4. It just came back by joining Horizon after 13 years of absence.
