5. Lotus Europa S

Top speed: 143 MPH

The Lotus Europa S is one of the ultimate cars that you can’t buy in the U.S. Although most of the auto manufacturer’s models find themselves released in North America, this model is only available for European buyers. The car features large rims, stealth side intakes, and is a very popular sports car. The Europa S was designed as a modern update to the original Europa line of automobiles that were produced in the later 1960s and 1970s. It features a large trunk, leather interior, and has much easier cabin access than equivalent models on the market with lower chassis sides. The stock engine in the car is a 2.0 liter rated at 200 horsepower that is turbocharged and coupled to a M32 six-speed transmission. The car can go from zero to 60 MPH in just 5.5 seconds, and its top overall speed is 143 MPH. The car was produced between 2006 and 2010 with approximately 400 of the autos being produced.
