Europa S2

The Lotus Europa S2, produced from 1968 to 1971, was an evolution of the original Europa, offering improved comfort and practicality while maintaining its mid-engine, lightweight design. Featuring a fiberglass body mounted on a steel backbone chassis, the S2 introduced electric windows, adjustable seats, and a more refined interior. The car was powered by a 1.5-liter Renault inline-four engine producing around 82 horsepower, delivering agile handling and a top speed of approximately 112 mph. Weighing about 1,565 pounds, the Europa S2 was known for its sharp driving dynamics and excellent power-to-weight ratio, making it a favorite among enthusiasts.
