No idea why racing green wasn’t one of the launch colors

If you’re gonna do BMW get an E9X with the S65. Last M series car that had character imo. New stuff is extremely capable but very numb/appliancey.

Gallardo Superlegerra, Performante, or Balboni with a manual swap would be the way to go for me. Not a fan of base Huracan's... too numb and I'd rather have a GT3 with a stick at those price points (or a 600LT if I was fine with auto). Never driven the higher trim level Huracans however but I'd...

Present on mine as well, pretty common from what I’ve seen on cars with real leather

Tbh I’m not sure if the sport all seasons will have enough grip. I have those tires on my mom’s 4 cyl X3. Would make the limits of the car much more accessible on the street which is fun it’s on way though. I would probably stick to the 4S/S5 for Michelins

I’ve had the Contis and PS4s on a previous car and didn’t have a clear favorite between the two. Great tire imo

I think it’ll definitely be interesting what they end up with. With them bringing back the ICE/Hybrid Macan, plus extending ICE Cayenne and Panamera life it may actually be difficult for them to hit the fleet wide CO2 averages if they sell too many ICE Caymans - hopefully they can get the ears...

Only for GT cars I believe, so probably $150-200k.

As a former BMW guy (I have an e92 m3), I’ve given up completely on the brand. Zero steering feel, fake audio, overly numb/synthetic driving experience etc. just not very engaging or visceral (so opposite of the Emira), although the cars are extremely capable - but they are so synthetic they are...

This news is specifically about the Hethel factory relating to Lotus Cars. It’s no surprise Lotus Technology would have little patience for slowing Emira sales given their acquisition…..

:( I really hope the brand survives.. there is not much else out there from the Germans or Italians that is interesting in today's compliance driven automotive hellscape. Unfortunate casualty of tariff war - globalized supply chains cannot be reconfigured in a matter of months and the auto...

Great drivers cars which provide a unique driving experience generally get mixed reviews upon release as they are not perfect or are tailored for a unique subsection of the population willing to make a sacrifice in some manner for the experience (E.g. LFA, old AMGs, F40, Vipers, etc.). If the...

I really want EOS green, but not willing to pay the $40k premium to trade in and order a new one. If I were though, I would wait until the '27 facelift. I also own an E92 m3 with the 4.0 S65 V8. If a manual V8 Emira comes out with an engine that captures the essence of the S65, and costs...

weird to disparage one of the few vendors actually creating products for our cars…..
