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.
