n 1978, the revised Series 2 (or S2) Esprit was introduced, external changes included intake and cooling ducts added behind the rear quarter windows; bigger, ribbed taillights, this time from the Rover SD1, and a new front spoiler that was now integrated, folding rearward under the nose and so forming the start of the car's initially modest, thin black side-skirts. S2 Esprits also had 360 mm (14 in) Speedline alloy wheels designed by Lotus. Other changes included relocating the battery from above the right side fuel tank under the rear quarter window to the rear of the car, adding an access door to the engine cover, installing wider seats and replacing the Veglia instrument cluster with individual gauges made by Smiths and a new style of illuminated dashboard switches

 

The S2.2 introduced in May 1980 was a stop gap model, the only major difference being the introduction of the 2.2 litre 912 engine replacing the type 907 2 litre The S2.2 received a galvanised chassis, but not the revised chassis structure to come in the Series 3
