Yep, exactly - for aerodynamic advantage (see here: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-tech-wheel-rim-covers-2022/7078251/)

I LOVE this detail...

The steering wheel is clearly on the incorrect side of the car right there!

Reminds me a lot of the old MG XPower SV...

My exact thoughts - I owned a 996 for around 9 years a while back, always thought it was gorgeous... but seeing this 997 next to the Emira... Wow, it really does age the Porsche!

I have never found black wheels any 'worse' for showing up brake dust than silver or diamond cut (the only other options on the Emira), they just show it in a different sort of way (depending how much you clean / let it build up) By comparison, I have had white wheels and bright green wheels...

Oh, I really hope this is disableable by the time mine arrives - Touch controls on steering wheels are a really, really bad idea, and totally unnecessary!

I had the take mine out the packaging to 'correct' the wheels to my spec!! 🤣

On first thought, that seems a bit rash to me, although having said that, I am not entirely sure how I would react if that happened to me. I do get the annoyance, especially with not getting a commitment on a fix date, that seems like it should be relatively easy to sort and commit to. Lotus...

EmirOfDenmark, I think the wording you are using here probably explains why you cannot understand... Your 'statement of fact' that manual transmissions are simply 'more engaging'? Really? This is absolutely a subjective view, clearly your view, but I would wager there are plenty of people who...

Not pointing this out to be a knob, just trying to be factually correct (in the vague hope it might be helpful)... That's actually a mk4 Focus ST in Azure blue in that pic... Very similar shade to the mk3 Focus RS Nitrous blue, but subtly different (Nitrous is multi-layer metallic, so changes...

You could summarise, in your own words, what they think, what they compared it to, and any conclusions. That would be very welcomely received here! :)

I suspect the V6 manual... 1. because it is the 'larger' engine, 2. because of the manual gearbox... I am still ordering the i4.

Really looking forward to the reviews here

Woohoo, yeah, Seneca with red interior, that's our spec 😁 💙❤️

Well, maybe with the odd exception??!! 😲

Oh, and the info sheet for the black i4 Emira (don’t think there is anything new new on there, but thought I would post here anyway)…

And the metallic fleck in the black paint (up close): Compared to the fleck on the Eletra (which was a lot more noticeable in person, and from a distance)

i4 engine cover as seen on the black car… does look a bit bland…

Oh absolutely agree, Emira ‘wins’ the looks competition by a country mile

One of the last stations in the factory is a full geo check and adjust, which every car gets, so don't see how this could have been out of spec... Unless, as suggested by Eagle7, the tie rod ends were not securely tightened (seems unlikely). Also, general question, is there any camber...

No, far too many people crowded around it to get any decent pics when I was there in the afternoon unfortunately. That colour (same as in the PH article) does look very nice in the flesh though.

Whenever motoring journalists focus too much on understeer/oversteer, it does make me wonder... A lot of the time much of this can be attributed to either geo being 'out of spec' (these do tend to be abused press cars after all, and in a modern sports car it is relatively easy to dial up/down...

I actually prefer the subtlety of the i4. I tend to think of loud cars as a bit 'last season' now... Although I openly acknowledge I may well be in the minority here!! 🤪

Actually seen it on the Caterham stand today... I think it looks way better in the flesh than in some pics... Still not convinced by the headlights though, can't stop thinking it would have been so much better with more 'modern' looking headlights.

Some more pics…
