    The new Lotus Europa S - 'Business class by Lotus'

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

    provide Lotus customers with a spectacular sportscar with significantly

    enhanced levels of touring and cruising capability. It will provide drivers

    with higher levels of practicality and refinement to complement the

    simplicity of the Lotus Elise and Exige models.

    The Lotus Europa S follows the core Lotus philosophy of performance

    through light weight enabling this refined and very high performing GT car

    to weigh just 995 kg. 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. Coupled with luxuries such as

    full leather interior, driver and passenger airbags and carpets all as

    standard, Lotus has created a "Business Class" driving experience.

    However, the Europa S is not a derivative of the Elise or the Exige

    and has been allocated a separate Lotus type number of Type 121 - the Elise

    and Exige are both Type 111.

    The new mid-engined coupe will deliver high levels of performance

    from a high torque (263 Nm or 194 lbft at 4200 rpm) 2.0-litre turbo engine

    producing 149 kW (200 hp or 203 PS) at 5400rpm. The Lotus Europa S achieves

    around 90% of its maximum torque at only 2000 rpm to give "super car" levels

    of acceleration from low engine speeds, propelling the car from 0 -96 km/h

    (60 mph) in around 5.5 seconds, and 160 km/h (100 mph) in around 14 seconds.

    Maximum speed is approximately 225 km/h (140 mph). Being a Lotus, the Europa

    S has a phenomenal power to weight ratio of 201 hp / tonne (204 PS / tonne

    or 6.68 kg / kW).

    Tony Shute, Head of Product for at Lotus Cars explains the concept

    behind the new product: "The Lotus Europa S has allowed Lotus to exploit its

    extensive capabilities in developing a sophisticated GT car which

    successfully complements the range of existing cars. The 'Grand Tourer'

    concept underpinning the Europa S provides the driver with a refined

    environment, incorporating innovative styling features which do not

    compromise the superior performance and handling that is synonymous with the

    Lotus marque."

    Describing the Lotus Europa S, Russell Carr, Chief of Design for

    Lotus says: "The form of a design should reflect the spirit of the car, and

    the Lotus Europa S is no different. Where the rebellious track-focused

    personality of the Exige is characterised by shrink-wrapped athletic forms

    communicating agility and power, the Europa S has a more fluid, understated

    language reflecting its more sophisticated persona."

    The introduction of a GT car, represents both an important and

    unique addition to the Lotus product range, as Clive Dopson, Managing

    Director of Lotus Cars, explains: "The launch of the Europa S re-affirms our

    position as an innovative player in the highly competitive sportscar

    marketplace. It allows Lotus to extend its product appeal beyond our

    traditional customer base, and provides yet another demonstration of the key

    Lotus brand attributes and high levels of quality for which we are

    particularly proud."

    Production of the Lotus Europa S is scheduled to commence in July

    2006 at the award winning and world leading Lotus manufacturing facility at

    the Lotus Headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk, UK. The Europa S will be sold in

    all markets where the Lotus brand is present, except for the USA and Canada.

    Final pricing and full specifications will be announced closer to

    the on-sale date, but the price is expected to be the region of ?33000

    (49000 Euros) depending on individual market taxation.

    Predicted Performance figures:

    Target acceleration

    0 to 96 km/h (60 mph): 5.5 seconds (approximately)

    0 to 160 km/h (100 mph): 14.0 seconds (approximately)

    Maximum speed: 225 km/h (140mph) (approximately)
