The Lotus Europa name has been used on two mid-engined cars from Lotus Cars. The original Europa, covering the Lotus Types 46, 47, 54, 65 and 74, was built between 1966 and 1975, with 9,230 cars of all models made. Lotus planned it as a volume-produced, two-seat mid-engined sports coupe built to a reasonable cost, using a folded and welded steel backbone chassis with a fibreglass body in the manner of the Elan, under Colin Chapman rule of simplify then add lightness. The name came back for the Type 121 Europa S, a sports car based on the Elise that was produced from 2006 to 2010.
