In the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, which Lotus model does Bond drive?

In For Your Eyes Only, James Bond drives a Lotus Esprit Turbo.

Bond uses the white Lotus Esprit Turbo during the film’s Cortina d’Ampezzo scenes. The car is a road-going sports car rather than the amphibious version featured in The Spy Who Loved Me, where the Esprit famously becomes a submarine.

The Esprit Turbo was the turbocharged version of Lotus’s mid-engined Esprit. For Your Eyes Only includes two examples: a white car associated with Bond and a bronze-colored car used by an opponent. Their short appearances are often overshadowed by the later Citroën 2CV chase, but they connect the film to Lotus’s established Bond-car history.

A common mix-up is to answer simply “Lotus Esprit.” That identifies the family correctly, but the specific film car is the Lotus Esprit Turbo.
