Lotus Europa Special - Tamiya Kitset 1/24

Tamiya Lotus Europa 1/24 Scale Model Kit (24358)

The Lotus Europa, introduced in 1966, was a groundbreaking mid-engine sports car known for its lightweight FRP body and innovative design philosophy. Later versions featured a 1.6L inline-4 engine and improved performance, continuing Lotus founder Colin Chapman’s focus on simplicity and handling.

This 1/24 scale model kit captures the Europa’s low, angular profile with excellent detail. It includes a detailed engine with metal air funnels, a realistic Y-shaped backbone chassis, and accurately reproduced suspension. The interior features seatbelt detailing, while optional parts such as RS Watanabe wheels and a rear wing allow customization. Metal transfers and plated parts enhance realism.
