LOTUS
EUROPA (1967 - 1974) The first truly roadable mid-priced mid-engined
street car produced. A glass-fiber body draped over a steel backbone
chassis with 4 wheel independent suspension. Early cars were powered
by a Lotus modified Renault engine. Later this engine was replaced by
the Lotus Twin Cam engine and a 5 speed gearbox. Unbelievable handling
and roadholding, often described by motorcar journalists as the nearest
thing to a Formula car for the street. |
