    Emira Review Index [I4 FE]

    * * * * * To control the i4 engine heat Lotus located an electric "fan" to force extra cooling over the engine bay as well as a heat sensor just over the turbo to monitor its temperature.

    My Emira Experience

    * * * * * That's a bad thing, especially with new developed cars like the Emira...... Involuntarily I must think to the previous statement of Lotus that the Evora was a "10" and the new Emira is an "11".....In the present situation the Emira seems to be a "7" or "8".......

    Emiras advertised for sale on other sites

    * * * * * Theoretically the new i4 engine could give additional engine layout / software problems to the existing problems with the current V6 deliveries; which problems are hardly due to the V6 engine itself but more due to the rest of the car.
