$266,5000 Lotus Europa Birthday Gift

Question: If you want to gain attention as you drive your car along the byways and highways of the U.S., which car would you buy? A Ferrari? A Lamborghini? A Rolls Royce?








If you really want to be ostentatious then you should buy the Lotus Europa. The car sells for $266,500. We guess one could say that it’s Lotus’ way to celebrate its 14th anniversary.

So what do you get for all that money? More horsepower? Nah. How about diamonds. That's right. The gearshift is said to have diamonds set into its matte black metal surfaceThere is also a diamond set Lotus badge gracing the vehicle. Finally, the high gloss black exterior paint includes tiny glass flakes. no doubt the flakes twinkle in sunlight.

Our take? Unless you're one of those "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" enthusiasts, we'd say skip this gift and buy yourself a new Lotus Elise. For each of your birthdays.
