Not confirmed, but it was Matt Watson from Carwow saying it and he also showed his iPhone connected via CarPlay. Therefore I guess it's true, because why should he say it has wireless CarPlay and then connect his phone via a wire?

I think you can buy the issue in an app or online on their website.

True, but first the Emira is not the sportier GT version, but the entry level model whilst the Evora GT obviously wasn't. The old Cayman S also had 25 metric horsepower more than the new Cayman (325 to 300). And second they also claimed it was due to emissions. We will see if this was the case...

Then they are all wrong unfortunately. Kilowatts are your friend ;) The Evora 410 GT had 306 kW which means 410 hp (wow, the same number as in it's name, what a coincidence) and 416 metric horsepower (PS). So if we are talking kilowatts, the heavily detuned Emira engine falls short of the much...

It's probably because they thought it was 400 metric horsepower (Lotus in fact states 400 PS on the German website which is less than 400 of your British hp). Maybe we should look at the kW figure which is 298 and therefore 400hp/406PS. And by the way, the Evora GT 410 was 410hp/416 PS (metric...

If I have to pay for it, then yes. Why not? It sounds better to me, has more low end torque, is cheaper to maintain, and less threatened to failure in the first place, because 8.000+ RPM come at a price (when we talk about high mileage which most of those cars will never see of course). Surely...

I also never understood why some people have a problem with this engine being old and stuff. Haven't they realized that the last 10-15 years of engine development where rather about making them more fuel efficient, producing less CO2, NOx, etc. and making them quieter to meet the law? Of course...

So what you say is you practically have no laws whatsoever and therefore the dealers rip you as much as they like. Cool!

Very interesting to read! Thanks for sharing.

Crazy how some here get influenced by one or two car reviewers they don't even know to that point that they are cancelling their orders for a car they are waiting for for one year just because they said the shift feels somewhat strange. I though this influencer stuff only works really good with...

Who said that it's a worse drivers car than a GTS 4.0? As you said, many reviewers liked the driving experience in the Evora more than in the Cayman, now they are criticizing Engine and Gearbox while also saying it is better than in the Evora (gearbox at least). In my head, if the Emira is...

I watched all reviews now and think that the EVO review was a bit too negative, however I see where the guy's coming from. What Porsche is doing is building the best performing cars for the track since forever, especially if there is a GT batch on it. Did anybody really think that the Emira...

That's exactly what I thought. Not even one picture of "their" car, but rather just old pics from all over the place, wrong information about the car (ADAS for example), the most general descriptions I've ever read... I don't know, but I would bet that they never drove an Emira.

I also went with looks because how the car looks was to one thing that sold me. Not because driving dynamics isn't important to me - it's even more important than the looks - but rather because if it wasn't for the looks, you could also get an Evora. If I had more opportunities to choose from, I...

Creating a BBC account takes 30 seconds, finding a free VPN for windows roughly 20 seconds ;)

You just have to go to the BBC iPlayer to stream BBC One You probably also need a BBC account and a VPN set to GB. If you are using a Mac I would suggest "Urban VPN" from the Mac App Store. Free and easy to use. And if BBC is asking you if you have a TV license, I heard that it might work if...

The Emira is not designed as a track car in the first place, so maximum downforce was not their number one goal. The design of the Emira probably generates enough downforce to make the car settle at higher speeds while still having a decent drag coefficient. Lotus tried to get some downforce...

The downforce of 55 kilos is at 125 mp/h.

The hood is open ;) Can also be seen in the last pic.

They already confirmed that 2023 will be the last year for an ice Cayman/Boxster.

Problem is that the tint is in the glass. If you want to change it afterwards, you need new windows.

I think what they mean with that slogan is that the Emira is not just a new sports car coming out, but rather THE sportscar, like the perfect one, the prototype of a sports car, the one that you will find in a dictionary when looking up the word sports car.

Yes they can, because it was said that Top Gear will be the world's first to review it. They probably have an exception from that embargo and are allowed to show it 2 days early with all other reviewers having to wait for an additional 48 hours (or a bit less when releasing midnight).

Quite exhausting to read through the last few pages. Calm down guys. I think the real problem is that Lotus lost all the peoples trust which led to this kind of threads. They told us the exact ride height nearly one year ago (20mm higher than the Seneca show car, 5mm lower than the Shadow Grey...

That‘s great and I like the idea, however this just means that you pay the first 7 years of service in advance.

That‘s true of course. If there would be enough renewable energy, hydrogen would be a thing to consider. In that scenario we could also produce synthetic fuel with minimum environmental impact to drive our cars. However at the moment, we should try to be as efficient as possible with our...

True of course, but I don‘t think that they will play any role in the car market, because it can‘t be a good idea to provide driving bombs to the crowds.

There are two questions I have to ask after reading this: 1. Do you all know that hydrogen cars are also electric cars with electric motors and a lithium ion battery? The battery is just way smaller than in a pure EV, because you can generate your own electricity with the hydrogen. 2. Do you...

You know that the steering wheel is not round, right? That has an effect, too.

It's of course subjective wether you like the look of it or not, but do you really think that Lotus will mess up the steering wheel and make it rotate eccentric to a point that it feels strange? I doubt that.

Comms are bad for sure and probably the wording in the mail that explained the delays was bad as well. They should have stated that the ramp-up of production happens slower than expected, because that is definitely one reason for the delay, maybe the only reason. They should be more clear in...

So if Lotus communicates the issues, you simply don't believe them? That's also an approach. You might have forgotten, but there was something else that changes a few things for a few people. It started roughly two years ago and is called Corona. Now even though some of us don't care about that...

That's a normal thing. Those GT3 cars are complete monsters. For a comparison: The M4 is roughly 40cm longer than the Emira and still looks tiny. The GT3 cars are 20 to 30 cm wider than their road going siblings and slammed down as far as possible. Another thing is that especially cars like...

The i4 base weighs 1405kg and the V6 FE with full spec weighs 1447kg manual and 1458kg automatic. The i6 Supra weighs 1570kg with base spec. I don't know how many heavy extras you can add there.

The 6-Cylinder Supra is at least 130 kg heavier than the V6 Emira ;)

Again a simple lie... the 2GR is lighter than the B58, one reason being that the B58 is a more massive closed deck architecture. Please link your source of information about the two engines weight figures. I also don't get what it has to do with Lotus that the B58 is an improvement over the N55...

„Nothing lightweight, nothing forged“ for example. No sense in discussing that though… I know the B58, I had it, my parents also still have it in their Z4 and I can only say that it is one hell of an engine. But what about the B58 is better than the Emiras variant of the 2GR? It has more torque...

Why do you always have to spread lies and „correct“ those persons in the forum that are well informed with your silly nonsense? Of course there are a lot of forged parts on the 2GR, of course it is lightweight (only ~5 kg heavier than the AMG engine with half the displacement) and of course it...
