Tamiya 58698 Lotus Europa Special M-06 1/10 Scale Kit  [58698]

Classic Lotus Europa Special Captured in 1/10 Scale

The Tamiya 58698 reproduces the character of the Lotus Europa Special, a mid-engine sports car known for nimble handling and distinctive styling. This scale kit recreates the 1972 Europa Special profile, including the signature rear wing and period detailing that appeal to model builders and collectors.

M-06 Chassis and Rear-Wheel Drive Setup

At the core of this kit is the M-06 chassis with a rear-mounted motor and 2WD layout, offering a driving feel close to the original car's balance. The longitudinal battery placement helps with weight distribution, while the four-wheel double wishbone suspension and supplied 60D radial and super grip tyres provide predictable on-road handling.

Precision Body Parts and Upgrade Options

The polycarbonate body arrives with separate components for mirrors, light lenses and the rear wing, plus decal sheets that echo Lotus livery. Builders can personalise the model with available Hop-Up Option parts to improve looks or performance without altering the base kit structure.

This Tamiya 58698 Lotus Europa Special kit balances period authenticity and practical on-road performance, making it a rewarding build for those who enjoy detailed replicas and tunable handling.
