Lotus Europa S

JackMac · 03-02-2006, 03:07 PM

Elise + refinement = Lotus Europa S

2200lbs, 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds

The Europa S will be sold in all Lotus markets... except for the U.S

mikenuts · 03-02-2006, 03:09 PM

that is pure automotive sex.

maq · 03-02-2006, 05:08 PM

That thing is fugly.

I can't help but to think Lotus bought the design from China, and more ridiculously, their board approved that thing.

vladinecko · 03-02-2006, 05:13 PM

i agree, i'm really disappointed. there is just too much junk on that car.

Rear quarter looks like Mustang GT!

To Both.

it may be more refined, but i think the previous one was faster to 60 mph.

BMW0 · 03-02-2006, 07:26 PM

Where did the Elise model designer go? This Europa one needs help immediately. Aerovac, CPR, Chest compressions... whatever it takes to revive this noble Lotus name.

My neighbor growing up had an original Europa. It was sweet.

The previous one was made in the 1960's and 70's.

Yep. I've driven the original Europa. It makes a nice doorstop.

BMW F22 · 03-02-2006, 11:48 PM

I think it's pretty nice. I would love to have one.

If you blur your eyes, it's like looking at a squashed Carrera GT.
