Masterpiece, remastered.

Remastering by Encor.
For Encor, remastering is the word because our job is to preserve the soul of the original, while elevating performance, comfort, and craftsmanship.
We begin with Lotus, because its DNA is rooted in ideals that have never been more relevant than they are today. Light. Efficient. Pure. Taking on the Esprit is akin to becoming a conservator for the philosophies that Lotus established. We take that responsibility seriously.
Encor Series 1.
Evolution, evolved.
In 1975, Lotus turned the engineering and manufacturing limitations of its time into brilliance, creating lightness and innovation from the materials at hand. Free of those constraints, we can now shape a handful of 'perfect' Esprits – realised with technologies engineers in the 1970s could scarcely have dreamed of.
The spirit of the original Series 1, preserved, refined, and remastered for the modern age.
Encor Series 1.
Elevating the essence.
The chassis is our foundation. Lotus' original design is a masterpiece but with Encor's advanced carbon fibre monocoque, we've increased rigidity and sharpened responses – all while staying true to its original intent.
Less is more.
Just enough design.
Anyone can modify a car. What sets Encor apart is the way we treat the Esprit – not as a project, but as a responsibility. We understand the world that created it, the ideals that shaped it, and the reverence it commands. That insight allows us to refine, not rewrite; to elevate, not overwrite. The car has the razor-edged purity, the sense of motion at rest, that defined Giugiaro's original.
It's all still there. The stance is more purposeful, the surfaces cleaner, the proportions subtly honed. Every change is measured and respectful, guided by the belief that progress should preserve, not replace. This isn't modification. It's preservation through progress – ensuring the Esprit lives, not as a relic, but as a masterpiece remastered for a new era.
A special place.
Caring for your environment.
The cabin is a study in design, luxury and technology in perfect harmony. The original interior's T-Shape form, with the wrap-around instrument binnacle are subtly reinterpreted, maintaining the spirit of the first Esprit while elevating it for a new era. Machined aluminium, leather, and Alcantara frame digital interfaces that emerge seamlessly, balancing timeless form with contemporary function.
Beneath the craftsmanship lies a new kind of usability: connectivity through Apple CarPlay, effortless manoeuvring with discreet 360-degree cameras, and the everyday comfort of heated seats and refined climate control. More integrity and greater comfort transform the cabin into something far beyond its origins – a true remaster of the Esprit, ready for modern life.

Carbon based lifeform.
In 1975, Lotus turned the materials and construction techniques of the time into a showcase of ingenuity, shaping a design that was ahead of its era. Today, with tools and materials far beyond the reach of the Seventies, that same spirit of ingenuity finds new expression. Freed from past limitations, we can refine the Esprit's form with absolute precision.
