The Lotus Esprit S1, released in 1976, is known for its polygonal 'folded paper' like design but was ultimately made famous when it was driven by MI6 Special Agent, 007 James Bond, in the 1977 hit movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me' starring Roger Moore as Bond. Sporting a lightweight body and superb handling, the car was considered underpowered and not up to its potential. In 1978, the revised Series 2 was released. Featuring external design changes as well as upgraded seats, gauges and switches. In 1980, the Lotus Esprit Turbo was unvelied and would make its return with James Bond played by Roger Moore in "For Your Eyes Only." Featuring a sharp Copper Fire Metallic paint job with gold stripes and skis strapped to the engine cover, 007 was taking the Italian mountain slopes in style.
