The shape that defined the Lotus Esprit, carefully preserved. The Encor Series 1 retains the purity and proportions of the original S1 design, recreated in carbon fibre and refined with the precision of modern engineering. An icon, respectfully remastered.

Every colour, material and accent is entirely down to you. Whether your inspiration is from a source reference or entirely personal, everything about your Series 1 is a reflection of yourself. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #Personalisation

Soaking up the last of the summer sun. This summer has seen the Series 1 travel across parts of Europe, with it drawing interest everywhere it goes. But the year isn't over yet - there's still more to explore... #Encor #EncorSeries1

Four hundred horsepower from a 3.5-litre V8. Five manual gears. Little more than 1,100kg. On the right road, the combination matters more than any one figure. The Series 1 was designed around the driver – and for days like this. #EncorDesign #EncorSeries1 #V8 #ManualGearbox

Our Encor Series 1 development car has been covering road and track miles across Europe – most recently on roads closer to home. Turn up the sound for the resonant exhaust note, the flutter of the turbo intake and a glimpse of the Series 1 #Encor #EncorSeries1

Recently, the Encor Series 1 headed out onto public roads in the UK for an extensive on-road film programme, capturing the car exactly where it was engineered to be. Real roads. Real driving.  More to follow. #Encor #EncorSeries1

Every detail has earned its place on the Series 1. The smallest components often receive the greatest attention. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #AutomotiveDesign #ItsInTheDetails

Delivering over 350hp per tonne, a five-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic steering, the Series 1 delivers the kind of analogue driving experience that increasingly feels rare. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #RoadTesting

Lightness isn't a statistic. It's the reason the steering feels alive, the brakes feel immediate and every input feels natural. At 1,107kg DIN, the Series 1 achieves performance through efficiency rather than excess. #Encor #EncorDesign #Lightweight #LessIsMore

Every control found in the Series 1's cabin exists for a reason.  The architecture of the instrument binnacle and the driving position place the driver at the centre of every decision. Modern technology is present, but never dominant. #Encor #EncorSeries1
