Lotus Europa Twin Cam

I love carssports and exotics especially. My all time favorite ones are anything Ferrari except the 70s and early 80s V-8s which couldn't get out of their own way. Maserati Bora for smooth flowing lines, Lamborghini Muira SV, Jag XKE and Lotus. I have only driven the Lotus Europa and Esprit but if you have never driven these cars, you cant imagine the feeling of being one with a car and how the car becomes an extension of you and your driving skill. Pure sport, pure fun.
Then on the flip-side a good old American Muscle car with a pounding V-8 and 4 speed can light my fire.

[JCVdude]

That hurts man! It's one of my favorite cars.

[aydinburton93]

thats sick how bigs the engine do you know?

[JCVdude]

It's a Ford Cosworth twin cam 1.6 litres and it put out around 113bhp although some claimed it was closer to 130bhp. And that could be mated to a 4-speed or 5-speed transmission.

My wet dream is Lotus Europa fitted with Renault's mid-80's Formula One 1.5 litre V6 turbo engine. Matches also with the John Player Special theme.

I had an earlier one of these in front of me tonight and had to look it up. I've never heard an exhaust pop, bang and crackle so much before.

I've had two. Renault and twin cam powered. The Renault powered car was a bit more reliable but just a tad slower. Work on em all week to drive them on the weekend. Still look great. People now days just don't know what the hell they are.

What a stunning car. I have a 67' S1. Sadly it is not in anywhere near as good shape as yours.

いくら仕上げてもＵＳ仕様じゃ

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so Also keeps carbs/injection and tank clean and rustfree!
