I'm not sure.. i like parts and then I don't.. i don't like the numbers on it. I was hoping for something closer to the elise performance wise.. i guess it's a lot heavier than the elise.
From the front.. I like it.. from the side.. it sucks.. from the rear, what is it?!

As far as creature comfort goes.. i hope this thing has more footwell space than the elise.. what a trick to drive with size 13 doc martens on... i found it much easier to just drive the elise barefoot..

The new Lotus Europa S is an interesting two seater GT (not 2+2 as initially thought), with a very low weight (995 kg) and a 2.0 liter turbo engine with 200 hp / 263 Nm supplied by Opel. Performance data: 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 5.5 seconds, 0-160 km/h in 14 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h.
