Rainer Dschüdow, a car dealer of English and Italian cars in Munster, developed the Lotus Esthi <2.7. The entire car has been modified heavely: much wider, a little longer,  more air intakes, large wheels, plexiglas to allow the hood to look at the engine Audi Biturbo.

This car is a real lotus - uncompromising, incredibly fast. 380 hp for a 1000 - kilogram cart. There is a horsepower for exactly 2.62 pounds car weight charge (hence the name "<2.7", ie "small two point seven." Esthi "however, is the pet name of Dschüdows auto crazy daughter Esther).  Tekno engineering installed the braking system from the Lotus Esprit Turbo.  Also, the exhaust comes from the big brother.

The six-speed gearbox from the diesel Audi A8 is the only gearbox that can handle the force and small enough to tail in the lotus.

A vertically adjustable Wilbers-sport suspension with adjustable pressure and rebound provides the Esthi with adapted suspension. Thanks to the 17" at the front and 18" at the rear, the car sticks to the ground, 18 - and 19-inch OZ Superleggera 3 of only 4.7 kilograms per unit are optional.

The Esthi allowed himself the Lotus emblem and bear the name proudly at the stern decry (which is important, because the letters are punched out on Esthi order to ventilate the engine). And Audi? Even the Ingolstaedter play with. But they know that the RS-4-engine currently without a jewel version. Five engines are ready for it yet, and Audi's motor sport forge Cosworth has promised Esthi for the first 25 additional RS-4-engines to build.
