The 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special is a distinctive British sportscar, renowned for its performance and lightweight design. Manufactured in 1973, this vehicle showcases Lotus' iconic compact size with a length just shy of 14 feet. Its standout feature is the 2-liter Renault-Gordini twin-cam engine producing approximately 160 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission for agile handling. The Europa's aluminum monocoque chassis contributes to its remarkably low weight of around 1700 pounds, resulting in an impressive power-to-weight ratio. Its distinctive wedge-shaped fuselage is designed by the legendary Italians, Giorgetto and Bertone, creating an aerodynamic profile that sets it apart from contemporary sportscars. The Twin Cam Special variant features two chrome exhaust tips, further emphasizing its sporting character compared to other Europa models offered during this era.
