Rotary-Powered 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special 5-Speed

This rare and unique 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special is a head-turning vehicle that combines the British automaker's classic design with Japanese rotary engine technology. Manufactured by Lotus in 1973, this Europa was rebuilt between 2017 and 2022 by its current owner, who replaced its original powerplant with a custom-built Mazda RX-8 Rotary engine, now displacing 1.3 liters, while retaining the iconic Twin Cam Special moniker. The car's sleek fiberglass body sports flared fenders to accommodate wider Motegi wheels and has been repainted to a gleaming finish. Inside, Mazda RX-8 parts were utilized for updated gauges, suspension, and brakes, making this Europa an exciting blend of old-school British sportscar charm and modern Japanese performance.
