Lotus Celebrates 60 Years Of Simple, Lightweight Cars With A Diamond-Trimmed Lotus Europa
It's been 60 years of Lotus, and in that time the British cottage automaker has produced a bevy of light, tossable cars that capture the essence of spirited driving. For that reason, we'll give them a bit of a break with their Diamond Lotus Europa. That's right, this is a fully-loaded Europa with leather stripped off the most aristocratic cows in England...and diamonds. Oh the diamonds. The gear knob, steering wheel and other surfaces feature jewels set in cool matte black metal (they call it "matt" black in the press release). The best touch is the rev counter and speed dial that each include diamonds highlighted by hidden LED lights. The car is valued at more than $250,000, but we imagine this one isn't going up for sale anytime soon. Press release below the jump. More »
