Tamiya 24212 - Lotus Europa Special Retro 1/24 Model  [24212]

1/24 Scale Lotus Europa Special Overview

The Tamiya 24212 kit presents the Lotus Europa Special, a compact mid-engine sports car from the 1960s prized for its lightweight design. This scale kit focuses on the Europa's slim bodywork and mechanical character, making it a rewarding subject for scale car builders.

The real Europa Special used a "big valve" 126hp engine and a five-speed transmission, specs that made the car notably competitive for its time. The model reflects these hallmarks and highlights the suspension and body proportions for hobbyists aiming for historical accuracy.
