The Tamiya 58698 captures the essence of the classic Lotus Europa Special, a car that set benchmarks in mid-engine sports car design. This RC model kit brings the legendary 1972 Lotus Europa Special to life, known for its agile handling and distinctive styling, complete with a rear wing. The real-world Europa was celebrated for its innovative engineering, such as the mid-mounted engine and lightweight construction, which this kit replicates with precision.
The heart of this RC kit is the M-06 chassis, renowned for its rear-wheel-drive configuration and rear-mounted motor. This setup offers a driving experience akin to the original vehicle's dynamic balance. The chassis features a longitudinally mounted battery pack, optimizing weight distribution for improved performance. With a four-wheel double wishbone suspension and specialized 60D radial and super grip tires, the M-06 ensures responsive and stable handling.
The polycarbonate body of the Lotus Europa Special is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, including separate parts for side mirrors, light cases, and the iconic rear wing. Dedicated stickers replicate the gold pinstripes reminiscent of Lotus's Formula One heritage. For hobbyists looking to enhance their model, a variety of Hop-Up Option parts are available, allowing for extensive customization.
The Tamiya 58698 Lotus Europa Special is ideal for both seasoned RC enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate historical automotive designs. Its combination of performance and detail makes it a standout model in any collection.
