Yes! Would definitely put this on.

Ditto to this. I was also swerving back and forth like I was warming the tires. I didn't have any potholes to hit but I was coming on and off the accelerator really just trying to feel the car and see if I could unsettle it in way and obviously at my speed I couldn't but I was surprised how...

If I don't get a Emira or GT4 and can't find an Evora GT (would only consider if I couldn't get an Emira) that will be it for mid engined cars. My next choice I think is Supra. I think I appreciate the styling of the Emira and hence that told me to reconsider the over styled Supra. Remember...

It's hard to follow up TomE's review. Jeez! So instead I am offering my stream of consciousness during the test drive. My review is not based on what cars I have driven in the past, which isn't many, but more of my view that all sports cars are awesome in their own way. I am not a Lotus...

I happen to love this and it's what I have planned. I want an over the top wheel for winter. How can I get more pics of this car? I do agree I wasn't sure about the calipers I was wondering if Black would be better but want to see more pics.

Understood. Different cars do it in different ways. Just to point out, I wasn't driving so my feel was different than if driving and the road was super smooth. It had actually just been paved. In essence it was a momentum car in its natural element and at its best. No acceleration or...

And yes, I was at WOT at least a dozen times.

I haven't posted yet but I had (EDIT) my test drive this past weekend, Sports on Goodyears. I should have time by the end of the week to give a review. I don't understand the power/acceleration experiences. I understand a lot of people have more experience than me but I spend a fair amount of...

If the old mantra was "Simplify, then add lightness" the new mantra is "Modernize maintain Lotus feel, then sell cars." This is a great write up and the first time I have heard, what I suspected is that some will think, the Evora GT and Emira are two different cars. Of course there are...

I am scheduled this weekend for the test drive Hethel Yellow, Sports with Cups. YES!

Innovation always looks to the future. When younger kids experience this in their first car can you imagine being able to switch between the sound of a Lambo or a Hemi? Choosing how your car sounds & how the torque is delivered is certainly interesting.

The passenger side photo above is stunning. The car looks like it has three colors in it. Can't tell if it's Black Pack or not but I have chosen the Black Pack too. I just watched Harry's video too and it's incredible to see this car in these different colors. I believe we may be dismissing...

I love how the black pack looks on top of ICE GREY. It really compliments the black accents on the seats regardless of the car color.

Shmee nails it with the ICE GREY. Every time I see that interior it speaks to me.

With a tune raising the redline to 7200 would the tachometer also be adjusted showing a new redline at 7200 essentially changing when it turns from yellow to red? I have never tuned a car with a digital dash.

I do love sound but I have had that and my STI is loud and a manual and is my DD so I get my fix. I am considering getting the I4 because I believe it will be quick, responsive, and nimble compared to big strong, linear, and great sound. I believe I am splitting hairs a little but this is how...

Great news and yes keep us posted. Carbon rear spoiler is a winner.

So STO 1st, Emira 2nd, what car would be 3rd in your opinion in terms of chassis communication and handling I presume? Great review!

I am waiting for full production to start. With a new factory, new car, and a recent supply crisis Lotus has yet to get up to full speed. It's anyone's guess of when they will get to full speed. Once they get to full speed I think the projections will have more merit. Right now future dates...

I took the liberty of editing your post! Probably custom-ordering a new I4 with DCT and then do some modding to 425HP, and still have money leftover to buy aftermarket seats that will work with my height.

Probably the only way to ever know is when the configurator no longer allows you to option a V6 on what would be a BASE model. I assume Toyota will continue to supply enough engines to satisfy Lotus deposit holders. I realize my post really says nothing but it's over when it's over.

Hilarious

A great video. Would love to hear him describe the driving experience. I just went through the Tail of the Dragon last Friday and seeing this video makes me absolutely willing to wait, fester, and agonize until I get my chance. The steering wheel seems right on this video, at least for my...

To be honest I am very excited by this. A new engine in a new Lotus.

Went early. I made 3 passes and saw a total of 9 cars. I took advantage of it.

Hoping for a speedy recovery. Would love to see him review the Emira. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/entertainment/jay-leno-recovery/index.html

And then hear you going. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

You may have seen this but this Evora looks to be wonderful. I really want to purchase this! https://www.lotusofnaples.com/used-vehicle-2020-lotus-evora-gt-c-2321/

In your opinion just as a guess, how many Emira GTs would they make and how many would come to the USA? Based on your knowledge of past Lotus offerings. It seems like the an Emira GT would just be a dialed back Emira GT4 such as without the roll cage.

In order to satisfy track enthusiasts (and Lotus purists) the Sport suspension had to be offered. In order to make a profit the Touring suspension had to be offered. It seems like every manufacturer has said the same thing, enthusiasts cars are not profitable. Now whether or not that is true...

Just a beautiful combination of colors on this spec. I am really starting to see the interior design on this car. Lotus, IMO, nailed the interior. If past cars were to "focused" with a minimal interior, this Emira has a modern elegant "focused" interior. That Ice Grey and Hethel Yellow just...

Stereo? KEF? Is it loud?

"The car had so much grip, though, that the production’s stunt drivers were having trouble skidding, sliding, and just generally thrashing the car about, so the crew decided they would send the Lotus back and look for another car instead." Incredible story. Priceless.

So Lotus has about 130 engineers in their engineering group (from their website). Ricardo engines who @Cutting42 said made McLaren's engines has 800 engineers just to design engines (from their website). This why its difficult to compare Lotus to another other car company. It's like comparing...
