Lotus Europa S Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2006–2010) — First Generation
The first-generation Lotus Europa S is a mid-engine Coupe built around a light, driver-focused layout. This page covers that generation's Coupe bodies and how its gasoline powertrain works in everyday use.
The Lotus Europa S engine is a turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder sitting behind you, so the Coupe stays compact and the drivetrain sends drive to the rear wheels. A manual transmission completes that powertrain, putting gear changes in your hands instead of handing them to an automatic.
