Can someone tell me what this car is(Picture in thread)

It looks to be a very old car, but it does have a V8. This picture does not have a high res as I am hosting. I do have the original which has more detail and can be zoomed in better

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like Lotus Esprit V8 (+'93)

Indeed, although I think '93 had the rectangular taillights. I believe '99 was when they switched to the round taillights, but I'm not entirely sure.

2002-2004 Lotus Esprit V8. 2002 was the first year they had the round tail lights.

Great catch! I love the presence those cars have. All these years later, there is still nothing that looks quite like them. And the sound of those turbo V8 lumps in the back..... fantastic! Here are some other pictures you may enjoy...
