@AK16: Great reviews of the cars you owned, it is so much more worth ho hear your experience form an owner's point of view as to hear or read the tenth review of car journalist who almost all seem to write the same. :) I'd also like to read something about the TTRS and the M340i.

Ok, interesting! Do you have an i4 or V6 engine? I‘ll attend a drift training with my V6 next saturday, that’s why I hope esc will be turned off and stays off. :)

In track mode you still have some safety net when pushing hard. In track mode you additionally have to switch off ESC completely by pressing „ESC off“ on the screen, there is a little button for this.

After the last raod trip to the Dolomites I can say that my choice going with sports suspension and the Goodyears was the right one. They do generate a lot of lateral g forces when pushed hard, I managed to get 1.4g out of them. Only once I had understeer, but this was my fault being a little...

up into the clouds:

My experience is as long as you are running the engine in closed-loop it is quite efficient, but when you go for it it really starts to consume… I had a comparison between an Audi TT RS And a BMW Z4 M40i, both automated transmissions. They both had after a spirited mountain drive around 11,5-12...

12.400 km yesterday, it's a great driver's car. :)

Like every year in autumn, we are visiting Helmut and Flora in South Tyrol with a small but fine group of long-time friends. One of the classics is the ascent to Penser Joch with a short stay on the pass, time for a few photos. However, it was quite fresh this year, with some snow still...

I somehow hope that the Lotus Emira will stay that insider tip as it is. It really is meant "FOR THE DRIVERS" and as such it only attracts mostly those. And of course it's looks. I also thought it would generate more desire on broader customer base, but especially here in Germany only die hard...

Next weekend I‘m off again for six days going to South Tyrol with some friends. Epic roads, panoramic views, great food and wine in the evenings and of course a lot of driving. :)

Great comparison video! You really get an idea what this mod does and what it sounds like, especially no wind noises and other cars passing by who could distract. Well done! :) For me personally no other backbox / muffler needed, when this mod was done. Perfect solution.

Digital Natural Analogue = DNA 🤪

I‘m sorry to say, but Lamborghini has lost its clean cut design language, Gallardo and Huracan have looked so much better designwise, this new car looks too busy for me. And the sound isn‘t spectacular either, sadly. :(

That‘s the usual way to drive a Lotus. 😌

I have a trio, my daily is a 2016 BMW M2 with two child seats, my first new car which I configured myself. And for the special moments I have my Opel Speedster Turbo and the Emira. My partner has the „family“ car, a Renault Megane Grandtour.

Every once a while I‘m thinking of selling my VX220 Turbo which is an Opel Speedster Turbo here in Germany. But I own it now for over 18 years. It‘s a really rather special car and brought me to Lotus and lightweight cars. I think from time to time of my Renault Megane III R.S. Cup, that car...

That‘s a couple! Two of the best looking sportscars ever made. 😍

Every bit counts in large amounts. 😌

I really like to listen to the KEF system, when my children are in bed I walk over to my garage and listen to music for maybe half an hour. It's astonishingly good. Of course the bass could go deeper, but overall there is such a good stereo stage with the mids to be the most noticable, most...

The guys from Throttle House are excellent and I‘m not sure that sometime in the future there might be an Emira in one of their garages. Regarding the Z06, it’s a weapon. But it‘s so fast that you can only really enjoy on the track. This came to my mind when I saw a video from a guy driving a...

Thanks! :) Cars have been around in my life as long as I can remember and my first word shall have been "Auto" according to my mother... :ROFLMAO: And it's true always drive with a smile! Last time a little Hyundai drove in front of me and the kid on the backseat took a photo with his...
