frame remains at the heart of the car, Encor has replaced the fibreglass shell with a carbon-fibre body shell, resulting in a structure that is lighter, more rigid and millimetre-precise in its construction. Surfaces are CAD-refined, aerodynamics enhanced, and even the Esprit’s defining pop-up headlights are reimagined as low-profile LED projectors, the company explains. Each Encor Series 1 begins life as a Lotus


Esprit V8. The engine is fully rebuilt and refined, with higher performance, improved drivability and greater everyday usability. However, the donor chassis, engine and gearbox identities are retained, ensuring continuity with Lotus heritage and registration. Inside, the Esprit’s iconic wraparound cockpit


has been reinterpreted with leather, Alcantara and machined aluminium. Subtle digital integration introduces Apple CarPlay, discreet 360˚ cameras and modern climate control. “Anyone can modify a car,” commented Simon Lane, Encor co-founder. “What sets us apart is


the way we treat the Esprit – not as a project, but as a responsibility. Progress should enhance, not replace.” Each member of Encor’s leadership team


brings over three decades of experience at the highest levels of the industry, having worked with Pagani, Koenigsegg, Aston Martin, Porsche and Lotus. They were responsible for


the acclaimed Lotus Emira and high-end personalisation programmes at Q by Aston Martin and Lotus Advanced Performance. The Encore Series 1 is due to be revealed


this November.
