Emira GT4 update

Guess this at least shows what a little fettling can do to the Emira...

Behold the new and improved Lotus Emira GT4

The GT4 has finally entered production - and now comes with up to 455hp

I wouldn't call a MoTeC engine management run Emira with a built 2GR-FE, supercharger, and an Xtrac sequential a little fettling. These vehicles are also going to have engines needing a rebuild every ~100 hours of operation and the transmission & dampers ~40 hours of operation.

Realistically, what bhp could we bump the street car via remapping?

Is it stated the GT4 uses a built engine? If it was particularly modded I’d expect more than a 7000rpm rev limit and similar power levels than Tuners are delivering with minimal hardware changes.

slightly tongue in cheek if not so immediately obvious...one being more than twice the price of the other!

Maybe it doesn't, I have to imagine most GT4 level engines would be but I could be wrong. Jubu's 460hp levels aren't but their 500hp levels are.

I am pleased to report that @Hell4Leather was correct about the specital ventilated hood. Photo close-up proves it.
Make it yours.

I need a car first. Would look stupid on a Mini.

For ~$30k or so I’m sure Hennessey or Saleen could pump up the base Emira to get GT4+ numbers.
