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.

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.

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."
