The Tamiya 58698 brings the Lotus Europa Special to the bench with a faithful silhouette and period details. The model captures the low, wedge-like body and distinctive rear wing, providing a convincing miniature of the original mid-engine sportscar.
This kit uses the M-06 chassis, which places the motor at the rear for a rear-wheel-drive experience that mirrors the Europa's handling traits. The longitudinal battery layout helps balance the car, and the included double wishbone suspension and 60D radial and super grip tyres help keep the car composed on smooth surfaces.
The polycarbonate body includes separate fittings for mirrors and light covers plus decals for authentic striping. Builders can explore Hop-Up Option parts to refine performance or add visual upgrades while retaining the kit's original charm.
Tamiya 58698 suits builders who value a historically informed model with practical on-road handling and easy upgrade paths for tuning or display.
