Tamiya is proud to introduce the Lotus Europa Special as a 1/10 R/C
product paired with the M-06 chassis. The Lotus Europa debuted in 1966,
showcasing what was then a revolutionary midship layout, with a
lightweight FRP body, making a global splash. In 1972 perhaps the finest
model – Lotus Europa Special - in the series was released with 1.6-liter
inline-4 engine (big valve twin-cam engine) capable of 126hp which was
the largest maximum output among the Lotus Europa series. Also, the car
had two transmission options, with the choice of the standard and 5-speed
transmission.
