2006 Lotus Europa S


This two seater grand tourer is designed to significantly enhance crusing and touring capabilites providing drivers practicality and refinement. Following on with the lightweight design philosophy usuing high tech materials and the europa S brings a larger boot size, lower chassis sides and higher roof line makes cabin access more at ease. The 2litre turbocharged inline-4 engine produces 149kw with 0-100km in 5.5 sec at a top speed of 225km meaning a high weight to power ratio which means it acheives 90% of its maximum torque at only 2000rpm's giving a super car feel of acceleration all from a lower engine speeds. The deign is similar in fashion to the elise yet has many more softer touches too its body which is more appealing to the business class clientele.

Don't forget that there are alot of jap cars out there that are cloning design factors from not only supercars but from many european cars also. Which is just destroying it for others making them the poor mans vehicle. However the upside is that it pushes the european car manufacturers and supercar builders to further push themselves to design better cars to drool over
