More Luxury, little added weight

The Europa S, the Lotus that introduces the brand to enhanced levels of practicality and refinement, has a new Luxury Touring Pack Option which stretches the Europa S towards the more luxurious end of the spectrum. The Luxury Touring Pack Option dresses the interior in the smart attire of saddle tan leather, chocolate coloured leather and brown carpets. Where the standard Europa S uses lightweight composite components for items such as the steering column shroud, dash top, instrument and ventilation binnacles and sill covers, the Luxury Touring Pack Option on the Europa S covers these and other components with four hides of soft high-grade saddle tan coloured and chocolate coloured leather. Supportive sports seats are fitted and are also clad in saddle tan and chocolate coloured leather in a stripe pattern. Safety critical composite components such as the passenger airbag door are coated in a high-tech soft-to-the-touch material. An engine start button and a solid Walnut and Tulip wood gearknob finish off the interior package. The Luxury Touring Pack Option also stretches to the boot: with brown carpet covering the whole of the boot area including the battery cover, a saddle tan coloured leather trimmed tailgate inner, luggage straps to prevent luggage from moving in the boot (Lotus still expects a laden Europa S to be driven hard!), and a saddle tan coloured leather oddment bag which is fixed to the boot compartment. Exterior additions to the Luxury Touring Pack Option include tinted rear and rear three-quarter glass, body coloured front driving lamp surrounds, side air-intake surrounds and roof air-outlet grill. All other exterior grilles such as the front radiator grilles and the rear light grille surrounds are coloured silver.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]All these added luxuries add very little weight to the feather-light Europa S so spirited drivers will not be penalised by opting for the Luxury Touring Pack.

Availability

The Luxury Touring Pack Option is available on the Lotus Europa S from April 2007 priced at £1,250 in the UK and 1,750 in Europe (excluding local taxes), with prices in other markets to be announced shortly.

That's pretty nice. Bags are pretty snazzy, and so is the interior, much better than stock. It all looks pretty damn comfy aswell doesn't it. I really want to sit in it now. How much weight does it add to the car? Probably not much....it looks so nice!

I love it! It adds some pizzaz to the car.

love it. its like a more conservative exige or elise or something

now lotus can offer a car to all those people who ***** way too much about how they arent comfortable, or how the ride is too harsh

It shows lotus have the potenial to make a great GT car, they are legends of suspension, tuning and performance, they just need to make it bigger, and not base it on an elise

looks more organised and civilised ,, very good !

Very nice. How long until they supercharge it?

Nice. I'm still not really thinking 'luxury', but that's not really the point, is it?

The gearstick looks like a chocolate and vanilla lollipop. That's good enough reason in my eyes to buy the package.

I want saddle bags in my car :(.

I can almost smell the dead cows.



Not my favorite Lotus, but nice quality stuff.

i think ive never seen a new lotus having something like this, full leather, lovely, now i could drive fast in a leathery interior which i think is going to be very comfy, the interior, i just love it, its got those lights and the leather, just wow, and check out the side door leather stuff, it looks like what you get on ferraris, lol, well the back, thats a huge amounts of leather again, bags, wow, fits perfectly, i love it, but a lotus isnt really supppose to look like that, i dont know, just isnt looking like a lotus, thuogh i really like the car

Very nice. How long until they supercharge it?
turbo and supercharged?

Very nice, if i had a Europa S, i would definitely get this package. More comfort with a small increase of weight...but exactly how much heavier?

very very nice, i have always been a lotus lover and this car is no exception, i like the looks, and im sure it will go like stink too

I wouldn't mind to ride a heavier Europa.
I'm gonna use the car for normal ride instead of track. If I get that car, I'd still test it on the track, maybe once a month..

hmm me like it

i've always loved the Europa since it came out. a great 2.0-litre turbo engine, 0-60 in under 6 seconds due to its featherweight status (still under 1000kg despite all its 'extras' over the Elise/Exige) and best of all has amazing looks... those headlights make me orgasm, so beautifully shaped...

turbo and supercharged?
Oh...uhhh... it was a test to see if you would notice that.;) You passed, good gob!

Robbie; were you orgasmic while typing your rather disjointed, free-form post #11?

no, lol, i just love the car too much...:p good eyes..:D
