In doing my research on the Emira, I watched a lot of the Evora videos and reviews and most reviewers said that the Evora suspension was a marvel, being sporty with great handling, without being too firm and beating the driver up. I remember the term "Lotus magic." Let's just hope Lotus brings...

Ride quality is extremely important to me, especially buying a car without a test drive. I've only bought one car in my life without test driving it first, and it ended up being a complete nightmare. I bought a 2016 Ford Focus RS and even in the most comfortable suspension setting the ride was...

That was close to one of my configurations, except I went with yellow calipers. If I decided to go with Seneca blue do you guys think tan interior would go with the blue exterior?

It seems for a long time now most if not all sports car manufacturers offer their cars with adaptive dampers on the suspensions. I've noticed with all Lotus models from the Elise through the Exige, the Evora and lastly the Emira, Lotus does not offer adaptive dampers on any of their sports...

With gas prices skyrocketing, and with no end in sight are any of you going to reconsider buying the Emira? Canada diesel price $184.9/litre.

Why not just book a track day at your local Racetrack, and hire a skilled driver to teach you how to drive?? Money better spent.

Eagle is that metallic or pearl white? Looks amazing. I hope Lotus offers this white over flat white.

For sure, any turbocharged car does. Just turn up the boost baby.😜

Mate, it's still their last ice car, I would think Lotus would like to go out with a bang not a whimper.

I'm just glad adm is not permitted in Canada, do no worries here.

If they don't they will look awful foolish.

Gentlemen I'm here to set your minds at ease. Personally, I don't really care what the critics think, some are bought and paid for. Harry is the one gent I will pay attention to because he covers real world important things like ride quality, not how far he can drive the car sideways. Chris...

I personally think Shadow grey looks amazing, and I would have gone with it if my daily driver wasn't also grey.

Their first mistake was calling it "grey", second was not using "silver" paint. 🤣

I wish the Emira came with a front camera showing the lower front bumper, would make forward parking so much easier. Not sure if parking sensors would detect low curbs or parking blocks. Anyone know of an aftermarket solution?

At least he didn't use the other "Body part"...LOL 🤣😜

If this is what Nimbus grey actually looks like, then Seneca blue it is for me. Looks more champagne than silver. Looks nasty, especially with those silver base wheels. Hopefully I'll be able to see both the Nimbus grey and the Seneca blue in person before I have to make my final decision.

Australians deserve all the good news they can handle, because they get so ripped off on new car prices. I really feel for them. For example.

I was just shopping at Costco today and had to go over a number of speed bumps on my way into the store parking lot. Will the Emira have enough ground clearance to clear the type of speed bumps in your average shopping mall parking lots??

I guess since Lotus is a very small, boutique sports car manufacturer they don't have the budget to design and build their own engines, it is what it is. I think with what they have to work with, they've done an amazing job in the design of the Emira. Really looks more like a supercar than a...

I'm sorry but I just don't consider "M cars" as sports cars, more like sport sedans even though they have 2 doors, if you get my drift. Big difference.

Since almost all sports car manufacturers have abandoned the manual transmission, if you want a sports car with over 500hp with a proper manual transmission, your only choice today is a Porsche GT3. And it's really not a choice for most of us, since you have to qualify for GT cars by owning x...

Or maybe their manual transmissions simply aren't strong enough for the increased power, and they don't want to put the time, effort and money into making more robust ones.

GT4RS=no manual so not for me. It's too bad Porsche doesn't make any RS version with a manual transmission. Guess the brains at Porsche think 0-60mph, and lap times are more important than driver engagement, involvement and fun. Which really couldn't be further from the truth since these are...

Actually my first choices would have been a Porsche GT3 Touring manual, or GT4 manual, but since I don't qualify the Lotus Emira is my really only option. Not that many manual sports car choices left. I must admit that the Emira is a much better looking car than both Porsches.

400 horsepower.......it is what it is, but I think what's even more important than horsepower is to have lower gearing in the car, especially in the V6 manual Emira, which would require more gear shifting, which equals way more fun.

Whoever named it Nimbus "grey" may have had a few too many that day, either that or they're color blind It's not even close to grey, way more like silver. Calling it "Nimbus grey" is very misleading to people.

I have to disagree with you my friend just take a look at the 992 GT3 which has over 500 horsepower and is similar in weight to the Emira, is rear wheel drive and seems capable of putting all that power down. I know the GT3 is more rear engine based, but I think a 500hp Emira would be sweet...

I'm torn between Seneca blue and Nimbus grey. Since I'm getting a base edition car, I'm hoping I'll be able to see both colors in the flesh before I have to lock in my final spec. Does Seneca look close to this Porsche blue?

Owned my Ariel Atom for 7 years. Can't really get more raw than this. Drove it across country from Arkansas to Toronto Canada and then back across country to California. Driving the Atom through the Redwood forest was surreal. I must say that every drive was an adventure. Met a lot of great...
