The Tamiya 58698 faithfully recreates the Lotus Europa Special profile, combining the car's low-slung silhouette and rear wing in a compact 1/10 package. The kit focuses on accurate lines and parts that reflect the original car's engineering cues.
The kit sits on the M-06 chassis which uses a rear-mounted motor in a 2WD configuration, offering driving traits similar to the classic car. The longitudinal battery position supports balanced handling and the independent double wishbone suspension together with 60D radial and super grip tyres help maintain steady road contact.
The polycarbonate shell comes with separate mirror and lamp components and decal artwork that nods to Lotus styling. A variety of Hop-Up Option parts are compatible for those who want to upgrade handling or tweak the finished look.
Tamiya 58698 combines period authenticity with a chassis that invites setup adjustments, making it a rewarding project for modellers who enjoy both display and driving.
