I know nothing about it except that it looks great.

The guy that took the picture has some cool stuff on his site.

Is that even a Europa any more? It looks like a Hulk transformation "Don't make me mad. You wouldn't like me when I'm mad"

A family friend had an all original Europa (also yellow) when I was young. That Lotus left a very early impression of just what a car could be capable of. I can only imagine what that monster can do. Wicked.

That pic belongs in the box-flares-awesomer thread.

Hopefully someone here will know more about it. Very curious now.

[obi wan] It's more box flare than Europa now. [/obi wan]

Seriously, all that's left is the roofline...

Awesome. Yeah, I haven't run across that many people who've seen it yet either. We don't get the BBC, but the wife and I can still watch it for free* in the on-demand section. I figure it won't take long for it catch on though. As usual, the perverted liar (Jay) is my favorite character by far.

*free except for the punter's overpriced cable bill

Oh, yeah - I saw the original pic made it's hotlinking way into the flares thread

The chassis on that stock bodied one looks like art. Maybe a little more homely on the outside, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed either.

Except that "stock" body is 3-pc carbon fiber.........

Good googly moogly - that one isn't a Europa either, it's just built to look like one. Which is a little amusing to think about. They're cool cars, but lookers they ain't. I approve on that fact alone, amazing chassis and body engineering notwithstanding. The older I seem to get, the more I like fugly cars. My AW11 is proof!
