While Top Gear has said goodbye to its bombastic host, Jeremy Clarkson's acerbic evaluations of top tier sports cars are still well worth watching.

Back in 2010, he test drove the Lotus Evora, and quite frankly, it blew him away.

Though he had a few criticisms about the interior, it's hard to hear them over his whooping and gleeful laughter. "This is handling by telepathy!" he cried, noting the pocket-sized sports car's precision steering.

Clarkson layered on the metaphors with typical English wit. "It's the only car I've ever driven-- ever-- which is a killer…

For this edition of Throwback Thursday, we're highlighting and old classic, the Lotus Esprit Turbo SE.

A replacement to the Europa, the Esprit was unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in 1975. First-generation models featured 2.0-liter engines that created 160 horsepower. By the fourth generation (exhibited in the video), SE models were capable of 280 horsepower on overboost, from a 2.2-liter turbocharged inline-four.

Enjoy this beautifully shot video of an Esprit SE navigating the streets of Warsaw, Poland.

When it comes to insane stunts, it would probably be one thing to jump a Lotus F1 car over a car hauler. Flip the scenario, however, and jump the car hauler over the car, and you're reaching the upper echelons of lunacy.

And that's just what the EMC and Lotus F1 team did. Watch the team set a Guinness World-Record in an effort to "redefine motorsports."

When it comes to Jay Leno, the World Imports USA team has to admit, we're rather jealous of what the retired late night host has hiding away in his garage. But, why wouldn't our team be jealous? Especially now, considering that he has a fully restored 1966 Lotus Elan 26R sitting in it. In the video below, take a look at how Leno and his team of gearheads worked together to bring a Lotus Elan 26R back to life: First having debuted in 1963 as a small sports car, the Elan was designed to conquer

It's been some time since the Lotus Evora 400 received some love from the automaker. Thankfully, after nearly six years, the automaker has decided to treat the Evora 400 to a delightful refresh. Though, with more than two-thirds of the parts being new, is it truly a refresh? Or, is it an all-new vehicle? Either way, Lotus has begun referring to the Evora 400 as its "Flagship Supercar." Catch a glimpse of the all-new Evora 400 as it hits the track in the video below: Redesigned to give it a mor

The 2015 Lotus Exige S has been sporting a manual transmission for quite some time, but now it's become available in a 6-speed automatic and some fear that jeopardizes the performance. We know that Lotus is a name synonymous with speed, so we found a quick video to share which details how the model performs. Check it out.

Here at World Imports USA, we love Throwback Thursday. The Lotus brand has a rich history of performance, quality, and achievement, as do a lot of the luxury brands in our used vehicle inventory.

So when we came across this classic, retro BMW commercial, we just had to share it. It's from the 70's--and you can really tell it's from the 70's--and explores the love story between a BMW 2-series cabriolet…

Back in January, we received news that Lotus would introduce a new model at the Geneva Motor Show, and our waiting has finally paid off.

Proud, beaming Lotus executives pulled the sheet from the new Lotus Evora 400 in front of a crowd of breathless spectators. And breathless they should be--this gorgeous new model, based on the classic 2+2 sports car Lotus Evora, is lighter, faster, and more powerful than ever before. It boasts…

In a recent blog post we shared a video of Top Gear's The Stig driving a Lotus Evora. The amazing Stig and the amazing Lotus perform a dance of tires and engines which is an art indeed. We found another great video to share with our favorite coupe as the star. The video shows an up close look at the Evora, inside and out.

If that…
