The Europa caused a tremendous stir at its introduction in 1966, and small wonder for there was no other race-bred, mid-engined sports car available for anything like the same price. However, once the initial excitement had abated, the enthusiasts became critical of the basic specification, poor visibility and the lack of performance afforded by the model's 1470cc Renault engine. The S2 version of 1968 brought more comfort and practicality, but the other issues remained unresolved, and it was not until the introduction of the Twin Cam three years later that the Europa finally delivered on all fronts. A redesigned body dramatically improved rearward vision and the replacement of the Renault engine with Lotus's own Ford-based 1558cc DOHC unit delivered the long awaited get-up-and-go. Motor's test of the newcomer returned a 0-60mph time of 8.2 seconds and a top speed of 116.5mph.
