One interesting finding that I think is strange: When you turn the "seating position tuning" (balance) all the way left or right you not just turn the mid / hi frequency range more to the left or right speaker. You actually kill all other channels completely once going far left or far right. You...

Took a photo yesterday when I went to the garage to do the loudness test. Another Lotus creeped into the picture 😁 And technically not only a yellow Emira pic but it's on it.

So I came up with this highly scientific test today to answer that question. Just after driving the Emira and the Evora on the same piece of Autobahn (too much traffic, but it helped remind myself how much more dialed in the Evora is and I probably have to correct myself - it feels faster, more...

Nice! That's a good solution. Just ticked the box. For anybody checking on their phones in the usual vertical orientation: It only shows in landscape (or a desktop browser).

Absolutely right. Nothing wrong at all about swapping the oil "too soon" 🙌

Oh and on another positive note: I remember we have seen at least one dyno run of an Emira here (right?) and also some power figures on the german car magazine I uploaded a while ago. If I remember it was showing around 411PS. Is PS the same as bhp? I never paid much attention to these figures...

I will try tomorrow. Do you think Track is louder? I haven't noticed much difference other than the higher rev in idle (same as on the Evora). Haven't used Track much though. Weather conditions seem a bit suboptimal for it.

Really good video! Would love to understand what he's saying though. The segment at the end with the hairpin drift is nice precision driving. (Not a fan of the red accents on the rear splitter.)

At least I provided some content that triggers to show who really has some passion left for the Emira. 🤭😅 And I have proven that mine isn't meant to be a garage queen. Some bonus content: Startup in sport mode. After pressing the start button for a few seconds without pressing the clutch you...

@digilotus I agree and I have to say that I somewhat started regretting right after I left the place. It didn't even get properly clean 🫣. I've been washing my "daily" cars at that carwash for years and tbh never had issues, it's a very high-end place. Not one of those on the back of a gas...

Happily adding to the topic. Some may call me out for it but I was feeling a bit brave and took the Emira to a carwash for the first time. The Evora did never see any of these places from the inside (handwash only), but as I am trying to daily the Emira as much as I can: Here comes an ownership...

Good point that I haven't thought about. Thx for the feedback.

@Leonard really cool watch as well! Is it a Zelos? Don't think so but it reminds me of a watch I nearly bought from them. If it's not a Zelos don't look them up if this one on your post is up your alley 😅🙈 Stunning colour as well! I bought the Sinn new, the 2nd hand prices are very close to...

Inspired by another thread and being -so- close to going off topic (in the "how to moderate the moderators thread" ... 🤪😇), I thought its a good idea to keep this topic active. Picked this up today. Stunning value for money and such a nice watch. An entry level drug that I'll recommend to...

My opinion is that the moderators are doing a really good job at keeping it friendly and non-toxic. (Or here are just really cool and friendly people ✌️☺️?) Clearly, the job of watching the discussion not go off-topic is taken very serious and I also noticed that this is a bit stricter than in...

I think the "how it makes you feel" factor is hard to compare and a matter of personal preference obviously. Many potential buyers of 2 seater sportscars would probably argue that a mid engined layout and the visual stance of the Emira is a big plus for the Lotus. But that is hard to measure if...

I had a F-Type S for three years as my daily and I am a big fan of it! From my experience the driving experience is lightyears apart. The F-Type S has a bit harder ride than the Emira (Tour) I wonder why, other than pseudo-sporty impressions?. It also feels a lot less agile in corners and much...

First of all congrats on your car and welcome to the german dellegation around here. ✌️🙂 Amazing spec and good choice to go Tour in my opinion! Maybe your dealer didn't realise yet that the Emira does not follow the old Lotus maintenance pattern requirement of a "break in service" anymore...

Really well done video, but thinking that he didn't buy the Emira with the thought of demonstrating how to make an easy profit for the sake of the content is abit naive in my opinion. Let's remember he walked in with a camera into the dealer to buy the car, keeping the camera in slightly hidden...

I guess you are right when "turned up to 11" refers to "more hardcore" or "more sporty". But the Evora was not the sporty car in the old Lotus lineup. It was the usable car, the less sporty one. The car you could use in every situation with the least compromises. That was Evoras goal, never to...

@hagen111 just wanted to say I also enjoyed your opinion. What would a forum be if we all have the same things to say and discuss? 🙂 And to add to the Spyder- and the manual roof discussion: Gorgeous car, the combo of the engine and the looks of it are just wow! Was on my list if the Emira...

100% this. I think many people were hoping the Emira to be something that it simply isn´t and was never meant to be. Supercar looks and (entrylevel?) sportscar pricetag have created an expectation that is just unrealistic. Especially for a company like Lotus that doesn´t (yet? let´s see what...

Owning and driving the Evora GT410 has more of a purposeful "weekend blaster" experience (especially with the carbon bucket seats in case of my GT430 Sport) where you don't mind the infotainment being close to non-existing and the AC controls being oldschool. Sure, many people said that it is...

When disconnecting the battery on my Evora GT430 nothing happens when you switch it back on. But I have to say that the Emira is on a way other level when it comes to monitoring of the car. @CDM1855 My guess is 4 weeks should be possible. On my Evora (with the small/light Li-Ion battery) I was...

Mine is tour and I am a big fan of it! More compliant (softer) than an Evora 400 or F-Type S, much more comfortable than a Mini JCW (which is too hard in my opinion). But far from boring. Also impressive grip level for eg. wet roads on the Goodyears.but then again, I am driving on public roads...

Just came here to drop the slightly sarcastic "911" replies on the cancellations thread screenshot.... On a serious note: Sad to see you all go. For what it's worth. I've now been doing close to 3000km in my Emira and haven't had any further issues. Still enjoying the driving experience, had...

Good job securing some quality help @TomE Congrats guys!

Ahh yes you are right! Janspeed it was, I just mixed the two up. @KJD

If I remember correctly, Supersprint were the OEM for the Evora / Exige exhausts. Or am I wrong?

Know what you mean but being in the same league as the Exige is surprising, given the weight difference and targeted usecase of the Exige vs Emira. One could say that the Exige was also surprisingly slow if a Carrera S "base" car is approx 2 seconds faster.

German car magazine Autobild slays the Emira for the suspension setup being too soft / other times too hard and very hard to control with ESP off on the slalom parcour. Also 0-62 time of 4.6 in best case, they say due to the gearbox being difficult under high load. Laptime on par with Exige...
