Lotus Esprit

Should you point out an Aston Martin DB5 to the casual observer, you’ll likely get a response along the lines of, “Oh, that’s nice.” Point out a Lotus Esprit, on the other hand, and the first thing you’ll hear is, “That’s the car that turned into a submarine!” So while the DB5 may be quintessential classic Bond car, it’s the wedge-shaped Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me that is arguably one of the most famous and iconic of all of James Bond’s rides.
