9. Lotus Esprit Concept
The Esprit concept is powered by a 620-horsepower version of Toyota's 5.0-liter V8, meaning 0-60 will happen under 3.5 seconds. More significantly, the Esprit will be offered with a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), a system used by Formula 1 racers to recover heat and energy generated during braking. The whole package is substantially different than the Elise, Exige and Evora we've grown to love in recent years, but with a body so shapely and an engine so brutal, that we're sure the new crop of Lotus sports cars will still be unsurpassed on the road - and track.
