Now I like Lotus. Lotus produce cars that are not based on fads or fashion, they are just well made, fast, dynamic sports cars, low to the ground and fun to drive. I have grown to love the Elise and Exige - they give excellent performance and a thrilling drive.
So what was behind the expensive, odd looking, unresponsive Europa S? Someone please enlighten me!
The Europa S is priced at £32,995, so not whopping by Supercar standards. But I say expensive because it doesn't have the speed or power (never mind the looks!) to compete with others in its price bracket - for example the Porsche Boxter.
In fact it has the same power as the new Audi TT - and Audi are charging £8,000 less for their motoring genius.
If you are a Lotus fan, please point out what I am missing about the Europa! In my opinion, not even die hard Lotus fans will not be rushing out to buy this one.
Performance:
Top Speed: 140 mph, 197bhp @ 5400rpm, 0-60mph: 5.5sec
