The second Lotus game shifted focus to arcade-oriented gameplay. Being the first of the series released for a game console (for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive under the title Lotus Turbo Challenge), the fuel limit and difficulty levels were dropped, and the lap-based levels were replaced with course-based time trials, (not unlike arcade games such as Out Run), with the player required to complete each course within a specified time to qualify for the next one.

The second Lotus game shifted focus to arcade-oriented gameplay. Being the first of the series released for a game console (for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive under the title Lotus Turbo Challenge), the fuel limit and difficulty levels were dropped, and the lap-based levels were replaced with course-based time trials, (not unlike arcade games such as Out Run), with the player required to complete each course within a specified time to qualify for the next one. In addition to the Esprit Turbo SE, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 also featured the Lotus Elan SE, hence 'Esprit' being dropped from the title. There was no choice of car however; the player runs with the Elan SE on odd levels, and with the Esprit on even levels. Lotus 2's single-player mode uses all of the game screen instead of half, and opponent cars appear in a variety of colors (opponent cars in the original game were all white). However, music is absent from racing altogether; the player instead hears the car's engine sound. Lotus 2 was developed for the Amiga and then converted for the other platforms. Less

giopep's review of Lotus Turbo Challenge 2
This review is for the Amiga version

An ambitious sequel, that has the courage to completely changing its structure while directly challenging Out Run. To be fair, Out Run and Turbo Out Run sucked on Amiga so it wasn’t a tough challenge, but still, I think Lotus 2 doesn’t pale in comparison to the Sega classic. Graphics are so much better than the already quite good first game, there are so many great sceneries and it’s so much fun to play. It’s also a bit less punitive in the collission system, even though the difficulty spike in the last part is still there. Intro and music are amazing as usual and overall it’s a great game. And I can’t decide if I prefer this structure or the laps structure of the first game. I couldn’t decide back then also.
