Pictures Of The New Lotus Europa S At Nick Whales

[Snapper]

Popped into Nick Whale Sports cars today and had a good look around the new Lotus Europa S.

 

I must say that it looks really good and the build quality seem to have stepped up a notch I am even thinking about trading in the Exige for one I am that impressed.

 

Got to go for a spin in it to see what I really think about it. Hopefully I will have done so by the weekend and will post my thoughts here for you

 

Anyway, John pulled the car out so that I could take a few quick snaps and post some pictures of it for everyone on MLOC.

 

So here are some pictures.

I'll be going down to have a look at the weekend, looks good IMO.

[Snapper]

Sorry the pictures are not better and the background is a bit cluttered. Esspecially seeing that I slagged off the Lotus Adverts in a thread on the Europa, but I thought you lot would rather see the car at some reasonable angles of view sooner rather than latter .

 

They are just quick snaps after all

[Trixster]

Gotta say that I'm liking the Europa more with every new photo of it! Will have to get down the local stealers for a butcher's look....

that looks nice

[darren5591]

You should add these to the gallery

 

Looks good though, not sure grey is my favourite colour though.

Thanks for taking the trouble to take and post these up Jamie.

 

Have to pop in and have a nose around one next time i'm passing!

sorry but i still dont like it

 

to many things going on front and back end.back remind me of the hidious crossfire.

 

clean lines and subtle styling would have been better on a GT type car.

 

i'm sure it drives and rides well with the engine and chassis used but its just not for me.

 

maybe when i/m a bit to old to bend my back into an elise

Just a couple of comments.

 

I think the driving light surrounds look a little plastic'y.

 

And the rear tyres could do with being a little wider if only to give it a more aggresive look from the rear.

 

 

 

But overall, not too bad

[darren5591]

I think they should ditch the cheap plasticky rear lights and make it more "elise like" Preferably LED

very interesting pics snapper!!

 

like the wheels, and the more aggressive front grill, but the rest of it...... sorry, i cant understand what cars it is competing with or who the audience is meant to be.

 

it might just be the colour or only seeing pics rather than being right there, but to me it looks unfinished next to the elise/exige. Wouldnt mind seeing it in Magnetic blue or a dark red/burgundy.... a colour that perhaps suits the car more and shows its shape better....

 

Are they parking it on the front ? might nip down there after work one night and have a nose im only about 4 minutes drive from there.

 

jury's still out here.....

[Snapper]

I don't Know, Some people are never happy

 

Go and have a good look at it, I think when you see it, it will supprise you, I know that not everyone will like it. But I really think Lotus have done a good job of it.

I think the car will look at it's best in the lighter colours like Silver, Sky Blue Gun metal,.

i really hope its a sucsess for the company and all our sakes, as more sales means more R&D

secured uk jobs (for a while at least) and better proper sports cars for us to buy in the future.

 

cheers for the pics, though always good to see a realistic view of a new car rather than

slick advertised shots (not that lotus managed those!!)

Mind you Johnny isn't it about time you changed your car again You have had the Elise more that a couple of weeks now
