Good company for a remastered British icon. A few more moments from Cars on the Green, where the Encor Series 1 was right at home among an eclectic gathering of automotive favourites. 📸 @jathuthillai

This latest CGI render of the Encor Series 1 in Midnight Sapphire, a striking shade that brings a new character to its unmistakable lines. With just 50 examples to be created, each individually specified, the colour possibilities are virtually endless. What would yours be?

The shape that defined the Lotus Esprit, carefully preserved. The Encor Series 1 retains the purity and proportions of the original S1 design, recreated in carbon fibre and refined with the precision of modern engineering. An icon, respectfully remastered.

Recently, the Series 1 made the journey to Sywell Aerodrome to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2Excel Group, with proceeds raised going to a well-deserving charity. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #BritishEngineering

Only 50 Series 1s will be built, inspired by the 50th anniversary of the original Lotus Esprit. Each car will feature a re-engineered Esprit V8, an advanced electrical architecture, and are backed by countless hours of British engineering and development. #Encor #EncorSeries1

Every colour, material and accent is entirely down to you. Whether your inspiration is from a source reference or entirely personal, everything about your Series 1 is a reflection of yourself. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #Personalisation

Soaking up the last of the summer sun. This summer has seen the Series 1 travel across parts of Europe, with it drawing interest everywhere it goes. But the year isn't over yet - there's still more to explore... #Encor #EncorSeries1

Four hundred horsepower from a 3.5-litre V8. Five manual gears. Little more than 1,100kg. On the right road, the combination matters more than any one figure. The Series 1 was designed around the driver – and for days like this. #EncorDesign #EncorSeries1 #V8 #ManualGearbox

Our Encor Series 1 development car has been covering road and track miles across Europe – most recently on roads closer to home. Turn up the sound for the resonant exhaust note, the flutter of the turbo intake and a glimpse of the Series 1 #Encor #EncorSeries1

Recently, the Encor Series 1 headed out onto public roads in the UK for an extensive on-road film programme, capturing the car exactly where it was engineered to be. Real roads. Real driving.  More to follow. #Encor #EncorSeries1

Every detail has earned its place on the Series 1. The smallest components often receive the greatest attention. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #AutomotiveDesign #ItsInTheDetails

Delivering over 350hp per tonne, a five-speed manual gearbox and hydraulic steering, the Series 1 delivers the kind of analogue driving experience that increasingly feels rare. #Encor #EncorSeries1 #RoadTesting
