About the Lotus Europa S:

The new Lotus Europa S, a Grand Tourer (GT) inspired two-seater, will provide Lotus customers

a spectacular sportscar with significantly enhanced levels of touring and cruising capability, as

well as higher levels of comfort and refinement to complement the simplicity of the Lotus Elise

and Exige models.

The Europa S follows the core Lotus philosophy of performance through light weight, enabling

this refined and high-performing GT car to weigh a mere 995 kg, making it class - leading in this

respect. This low weight has been obtained through the clever use of advanced and high-tech

materials including an extruded and bonded aluminium chassis, composite body panels and a

very advanced composite energy absorbing front crash structure.

When compared to the award-winning Lotus Elise, the Europa S has a larger boot / luggage

compartment and easier cabin access, resulting from lower chassis sides and a higher roof line.

Combined with a full leather interior, Satellite Navigation and driver and passenger airbags all as

standard, Lotus has created it's interpretation of a "Business Class" driving experience, which

remains true to the Company's design philosophy.

The new mid-engine coupe will deliver high levels of performance from a high torque (272 Nm or

200 lbft at 5000 rpm) 2.0-litre turbo engine producing 147 kW (197 hp or 200 PS) at 5400rpm.

The Lotus Europa S achieves around 90% of its maximum torque at only 2000 rpm to give classleading

levels of acceleration from low engine speeds, propelling the car from 0 – 100 km/h in 5.9

seconds (0 - 60 mph in 5.6 seconds), and 160 km/h (100 mph) in 13.6 seconds.

Maximum speed is 240 km/h (150 mph). Being a Lotus, the Europa S has a competitive power to

weight ratio of 198 hp / tonne (205 PS / tonne or 148 kW / tonne).

    Spotted at British Motor Show

    ...does it count if you spot yourself? I joined the SELOC stand at the British Motor Show last week. There were half as many time machines* there as Lotuses! (Well I'm exaggerating actually because there was a Lotus Carlton on another stand and a 340R in the supercar section. Maybe next year I should cross link to the SELOC events page as it would be great to have a bit more of a showing and I know MLOC has some members a bit further south. Enjoyed having a bit of time this aftern

    Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)

    Hi all as with most of my cars I thought I’d start a bit of a build thread. However unlike most cars which I bought and built up to be highly modified the plans for the lotus are quite different and so this will be more thread of its life in my ownership. I have also created a Facebook page called “Toxic Green S-Cup - (Aka Grogu)” containing images of its progress pre and post purchase.

    Elise S2 111R MFRU multi function relay unit replacement

    Hi Everyone, I need to replace the MFRU on my Elise 111R and I am looking for some advice please. Firstly, can this be done from above, or is it necessary to remove the under tray and do it from below? I am uncertain how much slack are in the connector leads. Also, should the unit simply slide up and off the mounting tab, or is it locked somehow, as mine won't budge. Is there a locking tab that needs to be deflected to unlock the unit. I can't find anything anywhere about thi
