2011 Lotus Esprit to get BMW’s 4.4L twin-turbo V8

They could easily retool that 4.4 V8 to 500HP. I want to see what the Esprit will look like.

Mclaren had nothing to do with Mercedes at the time.

Mclaren was running with Honda in F1 at the time.

GoOsama.. if you think renault makes a better engine than BMW, you are sadly mistaken. Point here is that they could have had any engine.. and they chose wisely. I know its hard to comprehend.. By the way, it is true that BMW makes some of the best engines.. its why Morgan chose the 4.4. litre BMW and its why Mclaren chose the twin turbo for the F1... Too bad your camry produces 148 HP, but please keep your idiotic comments to yourself.
