Lotus Europa Special Model kit

Product description : Lotus Europa Special

Model car Lotus Europa Special

The Lotus Europa was a remarkable light sports car produced between 1966 and 1972.
It was then at the cutting edge of technology with many equipment and technical innovations seen on competition cars of the time: ultra-low body, engine in position central and frame elements in fiberglass.
The final “Special” version was fitted with a 1.588cc four-cylinder “big valve” engine developing 126hp, a five-speed transmission and alloy rims.

Scale : 1:24
The 1:24 scale is mainly used for models of cars, motorcycles and aircraft.
It allows a high level of detail.
For example, a motorcycle model in the 1:24 scale will measure 4 inches / 10.4 cm if the original motorcycle measures 2.5m in length (250/24 = 10.41).
A plane in the 1:24 scale will measure 1 foot 6 inches / 45cm in length if the aircraft model is 11m long (1100-1124 = 45.8).
