Lotus unveiled its new two-seater £33,000 GT car. The Europa S followed the Lotus tradition of producing lightweight sports cars, weighing just 995 kg thanks to an aluminium chassis, similar to that found in the Elise and Exige. The 2.0-litre 200 bhp turbocharged GM engine, propelled the Europa from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds.
