Lotus Europa

Model Tested:

• 2009 Lotus Europa SE; 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol; six-speed manual; coupe – $109,990*

Very quick; huge grip; more comfortable than Elise
Some understeer on the ragged edge; no power mirrors
While the heavy hitting Exige S and even the budget priced Elise S, will cause you to re-calibrate your perception of what constitutes fast cornering speeds and high grip levels, I’m concerned that despite the Lotus badge, the Europa SE might be a little too soft.

Peugeot’s RCZ Coupe at London’s MPH Show

 The hugely successful MPH World Tour will feature Peugeot’s stunning RCZ Coupe at the London venue in November this year.
The show features Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond who are set to be upstaged by Peugeot’s latest creation.
Peugeot proved long ago, that you do not need a V8 or V12 monster engine in a car to have fun behind the wheel.
Peugeot is once again building exciting cars, and the RCZ Coupe proves it, but again, you will not find any large capacity engines under the bonnet, but a 200 bhp (147kW) turbo charged petrol unit. 0-100km/h will take just 7.6 seconds.
Also on the stand at Frankfurt was a super-efficient Hybrid4 variant of the RCZ, producing only 95g CO2/km, and you can bet that Peugeot will have a diesel-powered version available as well.

On show at MPH will be the white RCZ from Frankfurt, with superb 19-inch black alloy wheels, carbon fibre roof and full leather interior, which will go on sales in the UK for 22,000 pounds.
