 In 1966, it adopted a revolutionary mid-engine layout at the time, and boasted world-class cornering performance by taking advantage of the lightweight FRP body and low profile. This is Lotus Europe. Among them, the special that appeared in 1972 was the final enhanced version equipped with a 126 horsepower 1.6 liter inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine. A 5-speed transmission was available as an option, and aluminum wheels were standard. In addition, the body is decorated with pinstripes reminiscent of the JPS-colored Lotus that was active in F1 at the time, and the lower sides are all silver regardless of the body color. It is a masterpiece of lightweight sports created by Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus, who loved sports cars and was known as a person with original ideas, and it still has many fans around the world.
