Once again, photographer Benedict Redgrove, in collaboration with The Road Rat and the team at INK, have come together to produce this captivating set of images showcasing the iconic Lotus Esprit. Launched in 1976, it promised to disrupt the sports car establishment with its elegantly innovative design.

INK meticulously partnered with Redgrove throughout the refinement and post-production stages, ensuring the essence of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s vision was faithfully captured. The resulting images pay homage to the remarkable design of the Esprit, serving as a fitting tribute on the 20th anniversary since the model ceased production.

These stunning visuals will feature as the cover story of The Road Rat's 16th issue, celebrating the enduring legacy of this automotive icon.
