The Tamiya 58698-60A reproduces the 1972 Lotus Europa Special with careful attention to proportion and silhouette. The polycarbonate shell captures the low, midship profile and the period rear wing, giving builders an authentic vintage touring car to paint and detail.
This kit uses the M-06 chassis configured for a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive, with a longitudinal battery position to help balance the car. The four-wheel double wishbone suspension works with 60D radial tyres up front and super grip tyres at the rear for steady handling on fast sweeps and tighter turns.
Scale fidelity is a focus here: separate parts include side mirrors, light cases and the distinct rear wing, while the decal sheet recreates the gold pinstripe accents seen on period Lotus cars. The polycarbonate body takes paint well for a show-quality finish.
Enthusiasts can fit Hop-Up Option parts to refine gearing, suspension or durability. The kit is suitable for modders who want to improve performance or tailor the car to their driving style.
The Tamiya Lotus Europa Special 58698-60A pairs classic looks with the balanced dynamics of the M-06 platform, offering a rewarding build and a competent rear-wheel drive drive experience.
