Lotus Europa 20B rotary with 300hp

[GTRene]

Oke, its way from original S1 but what a build they did, lots of work and nice details.

it now seems to have a 20B Mazda rotary engine with around 300hp combined with a 5-speed gearbox from the Subaru Legacy and I thought hey those headlights look familiar..they do cause they come from a Porsche 911















also a very nice interior

300hp on just 700kg is also nice if those numbers are correct, must be pretty fast.

Just been looking through the classifieds, the new Europa looks cheap in comparison....Why so hated?

for now it is a bit, maybe because its a bit heavier elise/exige ?
its not a bad car me thinks, it just not has that, I really want feelings?

I'm curious too.

doesn't look to bad, although the wheels are a bit over the top

indeed, I guess they even could sell a few if they make them like that car, it looks special and light and I just love it
