Harry,
Giugiaro did, in fact, design the Lotus Esprit - but not the one you have pictured there. The original Esprit, starting with the 1977 model year, was designed by Giugiaro. Somewhere around '88 Lotus 'updated' the Esprit to the shape you see there.
The debate over whether the 4cyl Esprits were underpowered or not will rage on for decades. I don't really care - 4cyl or 8cyl I'd take any one of them. My dream car, and the next 'toy car' I want to park next to the SVX, is an '87 Esprit Turbo HCi - the last of the Giugiaro Esprits and the fastest.
There were no 6cyl Esprits ever produced by Lotus.
