Lotus Cars has released more information about its new Europa S - a more refined daily driver to complement its minimalist Elise and Exige models(the Europa S only weights 2,189 lb). Lotus will debut the new model at the Geneva Motor Show.

The 2-liter Ecotec turbo puts out a modest 200 hp, but a broad torque band (90 percent of maximum at only 2,000 rpm) with a peak of 194 lb-ft at 4200 rpm helps hustle the lightweight car from 0-60 mph in a respectable 5.5 seconds.

Lotus forecasts production of only 500 per year, with no exports to North America planned at present. The Europa will be available in the U.K. later this year, for about $57,500.
