Was it a Lotus Esprit Turbo (designed by Peter Stevens) or a lotus Turbo Esprit (designed by GIUGIARO)?

I would have thought that the last thing on Blown2CV's mind as he was taking evasive action was who the designer was of the car hurtling towards him!

well fortunately it was relatively easy to get out of the way, so I did have a look at the car itself! I'd estimate it was of late 80s/early 90s vintage...

It's a still from a GroPro movie. I was giving it the beans, and he was at full chat, so he was only on screen for about two seconds!

Can someone please end my 'googling' , and name this Alfa ?
It was a Snetterton today but unlisted.






Stunning car.
At least, I thought so !

Just looked at my pics from Arese.


Headlamps look lower on this one.

Couldn't be bothered to take details of everything I took pics of.
