Twin Cam and Special by Lotus Cars.
In 1971, the Type 74 Europa Twin Cam was made available to the public, with a 115 hp (78 kW) 1558 cc "big valve"
Lotus-Ford Twin Cam engine (105 hp US Federal emissions control version until the end of production),
a new Renault 4-speed gearbox (Type 352) and a re-designed bodyshell to improve rearward visibility.
Mike Kimberley, who rose to become chief executive of Group Lotus, then a new engineer at Lotus, was appointed Chief Engineer of the Europa TC project.
1,580 cars were shipped as Europa Twin Cam before Lotus switched to a 126 hp (94 kW) aspirated by Dellorto/Weber carburettors version of the same engine;
in addition to offering a new Renault 5-speed (Type 365) gearbox option; and renamed the car Europa Special.
It weighed 740 kg (1631 lb), had a top speed of 123 mph (198 km/h), did 0-60 mph in 7.0 seconds, and ran the 1/4mile in 14.9 sec.
A total of 3,130 Specials were manufactured.
To honour Team Lotus's 1972 and 1973 F1 World Championships,
a few black with gold pin stripe - plus numbered badge - Europa Specials were offered as the first ever John Player Special commemorative motor vehicles.
