Already this year we’ve had the Porsche Cayman, new Audi TT, BMW Z4 coupé, new 3-series coupé and refreshed Nissan 350Z. Frankly, we’re spoilt for choice.
So where does the new Lotus Europa S fit into this picture? Lotus says it’s “a car that delivers the pure driving excitement you would expect from a Lotus, but requiring fewer compromises when it comes to day-to-day practicality and driveability”.
