There's some mountain roads not in Dubai but the cities around I took my Emira on a trip and it was really fun drive, there's about 4 famous driving roads in the country all within 2 hours of Dubai, that's a picture going on a trip on a road leading to "Khorfokan city" which is part of Sharjah...

Let's see electric replacement is planned 2026 hence alot saying 2026 but tbh I expect delays in that model, and I believe both will be produced along side each other in 2027/2028 with Emira ending in those years. The delays and order list should be done by end of 2024 hence I expect S model to...

Emira production is planned to end in 2028 if I'm not mistaken, that's the life span of the car and usually a track variant is released within 2 years of production end just like majority of manufacturer, from what I understood is that S will be more of revised and slightly more powerful V6...

I know alot are disappointed by I4 sound and it's expected anyway you can't do magic to the exhaust tbh, but I mentioned before I will rather see Emira R get I4 than V6 and I know alot will be annoyed by this, but let me make things clearer to me a driving experience is interior sound than...

I think alot misunderstood what I meant by power shifting, what I meant is basically "no lift shifting", basically doing shifts as you will do normally but without releasing your foot from throttle pedal. Like some mentioned also some cars have a system for that for example I tried in GT3 and...

Thanks for the reply, I didn't buy Emira to drag race but we were drag racing Exige final edition to a Tesla Model 3 and someone wanted me to power shift which I said no way and he started saying he was doing it all the time in his Focus ST without any issues, and multiple guys were agreeing...

Hi everyone I was having discussion with some Manual cars owners about Power shifting if it's fine to do it when racing or drag racing for example in an Emira or Exige or not, some cars like Porsche have a system for this but Lotus doesn't and my question will there be an issue doing it for drag...

Emira break in is almost done, GT4RS will be another nightmare, let me see if I will follow the break in recommendation by Porsche properly this time cause I have doubts about that 😄

Luckily I don't have to choose one 😜

Emira I have been waiting since launch date when I placed my deposit, I paid first payment as early as possible which is like a year or so ago I believe and until today car didn't even start production with every month they saying one more month. Porsche on other hand they said we got you...

I'm no Audio expert but been using KEF audio for 15 years now at home, it was one of reasons I got excited for Emira tbh and for Lotus brand overall hence even Eletre I ordered, that aside from my knowledge with KEF basically is that Uni-Q drivers need run in period to get to optimum level as...

The main problem here and why majority doubting Emira purchase is due to the delays, I started to feel this in myself also the hype is dying down in me, everything going for worse, some good deals also started to show in the market, M2 released recently, Z06 started production, Porsche made 911...

That's BS, I driven the car and know even racing drivers who did, C8 one of worst when it comes driving on the limit, if you exceed the limit you are basically gone! Let me tell you why, it have over 60% of it's weight at the back (1% to 911) so don't get fooled by mid engine term, it have one...

No one saying what you saying is not correct but rating Emira high just for sake of what you said will be lying to ourselves, we have to be realistic, Emira have shortcomings hence I said it's not car of the year sort of car. I won't be here if it wasn't a car worth buying, but the V6/Manual...

I like your view about the car, some said why it's not "car of the year" sort of car and I kept saying for ages since first time I saw the car and started it, the engine + Gearbox combo!!! It's a Lotus but that Lotus we know about is outdated in 2020s...... It's competitors kept developing...

I'm also September build slot in most recent email but when asked it's more like October build slot, I think such a thing only exist in Lotus where an email and the actual are not same date, why not say October from start.

This is in my opinion only reason + gearbox why this car didn't win driver's car of the year or became one of best ever, the engine wasn't inspiring for alot of guys, it's something we heard and felt for decade now, so doesn't feel special or keeps making you smile more and more. Driver's car...

I would like to thank Lotus for delivering my Emira on time (haters will say it's fake).

(Nearly) always higher revving cars praised as better drivers cars, for example S2000, Elise with Yamaha developed engine, Ferraris Porsches Lambos, LFA, even best drivers car Mustang was GT350 with Voodoo engine........... But it's not always a higher RPM engine will give more excitement, for...

I already spoke to a dealer regarding my GT3RS allocation status, these guys will be banned don't worry, no one will run away with this, infact they won't get the car cause until now no official build deposit have been placed, so either they are trolls or some stupid dealer that have stupid...

The detuned power issue in my opinion goes back to what I said that Lotus reached the limits of the V6 and their Manual transmission (as a production car not a tuned one). Why detuned? My guess they gonna have an S or GT sort of variants so they need to differentiate normal Emira with them...

It's not just high RPM, Porsche Flat 6 is really good it's different, I driven/owned even Ferraris and 458 with 9000RPM screams less for me than a 981 Cayman GTS which had a redline of 7700-7800RPM. As for Torque both Emira and Cayman GTS 4.0 have same Torque with similar Torque curve, as I...

The KEF news sounds amazing one of key reasons why I got passionate about the car, I love KEF audio been having it for 12 years now

It's not tie man it depends on what you talking about? Style of course Emira wins, but we talking about as "driver's car", GTS 4.0 engine is just pure joy, the way it revs, the redline feel, the way power builds up, the way it vibrates the car, the intake sound, the PDK is alot of joy also the...

Yup exactly what I expected, it's not one of those "drivers car of the year" you expect a Lotus car to be, infact on paper Emira should be just that but there were shortcomings in some areas to keep price low, those are powertrain + transmission imo, the V6 hardly updated infact it even have...

No to me even it's not a better car at all tbh, yes it's faster but doesn't mean better, if I had to choose easily Emira over M2C without a second guess, infact will take Emira over M4C also.

To make it simple, car and drive did both Evora GT + M2C quarter a mile test and both got exact same 12.4s, however M2 had 5mph faster trap speed, considering Emira is slower than Evora GT (on paper) then M2C surely beats it on drag racing, race track? I'm not so sure as weight make bigger...

I will say "Adequate" for road fun, you don't need more power, it's not for racing, not on road or on track, if you want to race you need Exige or wait for more powerful versions of I4, I personally believe even 360hp I4 will beat the V6 due to DCT alone

Rear engine is just an engine placement now but doesn't tell full story, for example latest car to get into Mid engine is Corvette C8 and it's weight distribution at the back is just 1% different from 911. The reason C8 did that is to get 0-60 time of under 3s for marketing purposes, that's...

Any reason why you need privacy glass on the engine bay? I personally didn't opt for it because I want to choose which part to be tinted also I don't want to be stuck with it in the future in case I didn't like it, as for engine bay I was thinking why not just tint engine bay window from inside...

It's time to make my dream garage come to reality (Emira + 992 GT3RS + Morgan Plus 4+ Eletre), come on Porsche make it happen, deposit placed 2 years ago for it, however so far chances seems I will say difficult. Only one car remaining to be confirmed and of course it's the GT3RS.

Very good choice of cars, I agree with verdict tbh (including what they said about Emira), I wasn't expecting it to be best driver's car this year anyway, Lotus needed to work alot harder if they wanted that to happen specially in Powertrain + Transmission parts, competition is just too strong...

I will make it easy for you, what makes Emira special Is having a daily usable Lotus, is Emira track focused car? NO, so why not get a touring pack knowing you won't have a more comfortable Emira than this spec in future, but (most likely) we might see a more track focused version of Emira in...

We will most likely get an email this week for the update with new production time, the next update like all regions Lotus says it should be accurate this time. Like you mentioned Adamas is pretty good infact if I'm not mistaken they are highest Lotus selling dealer in the world (maybe I'm...

Mine is basically the Seneca Blue launch car spec in every way with Manual + Touring spec
