Lotus has launched a new package for the 2008 Europa S sports car to provide increased luxury without a significant performance penalty. The Luxury Touring Pack Option dresses the interior in the smart attire of saddle tan leather, chocolate colored leather and brown carpets.
Where the standard Europa S uses lightweight composite components for items such as the steering column shroud, dash top, instrument and ventilation binnacles and sill covers, the Luxury Touring Pack Option on the Europa S covers these and other components with four hides of soft high-grade leather.
Supportive sports seats are fitted and are also clad in similar material. Safety critical composite components such as the passenger airbag door are coated in a high-tech soft-to-the-touch material.
Exterior additions to the Luxury Touring Pack Option include tinted rear and rear three-quarter glass, body coloured front driving lamp surrounds, side air-intake surrounds and roof air-outlet grille. All other exterior grilles such as the front radiator grilles and the rear light grille surrounds are colored in silver.
All these added luxuries add very little weight to the feather-light Europa S, Lotus says.
