When you see it up close there are some lovely styling details (well, I think so anyway). The recessed roof scoop which allows airflow into the engine bay, the slight pinch across the front clam, the way the rear actually has some cues lifted from the S1 Exige Motorsport clams... the wheels are gorgeous (but the fronts are too skinny ).

It's a nice car, I'm looking forward to driving it.

Nice,

Strange that in the double shot the Europa actually has less visual mass then the S2 Liz!

Maybe it's the angle, but my worry is that it's just too close to the Liz / Exige and too far away from the TT / Cayman.

Nice to see Lotus staying true to their roots though. It's all about the driving experience after all. Couldn't ever see them making a hairdresser's motor.

Gorgeous colour too, my parents are thinking of perhaps ordering one and I will be more than happy to recommend this blue. Or Canyon Red. Or Starlight Black.

Personally I think the S2 design is still very 'fresh'.

If both cars were dropped about 40mm they'd look 10x better, rather than riding at the same height as the average John Deer/Massey Ferguson.
