Emira i4 AMG 2.0 Videos on Chinese Track

[yohc88]

All signs point to this video being a real i4, the ADAS sensor pod can clearly be seen. I think it sounds better than it did at Goodwood FOS

More pics of i4's arriving in China .... yellow TDC and stitching on the steering wheel looks good

The car in the video I would put money on not being an i4. Manual gear change...

I had to use a VPN with a Chinese PoP to get the video to play (very slowly and jumpy), but that sounds like a DCT gearbox with auto-blip on down changes to me.... "Local" copy attached, with full credit to Autohome China.

The ADAS pod is shown in the video thumbnail but it's a shame there's no interior shot of the gearchange or steering wheel to fully confirm that it's an i4....

The upshifts are very clearly a manual -- if you bought a dct with upshifts that slow, get your money back.

Agree about the auto blip on the downshifts but the up-shifts don't sound very DCT like. The DCT on my 2020 C43 were much faster than this

Yes - I've had a few VAG DCT's that were quicker than that too - it could even be an Auto V6 in the video - it's a conundrum.....

 

[Cutting42]

That is a manual v6 the upshifts are not auto box style

 

[770K]

Yes I would agree with that being a manual.

My auto V6 upshifts way faster than that.

 

[DaaS]

Going by engine/exhaust sound alone, to my ears, it does not sound like the V6. There is no supercharger whine either.

 

[CHEESE]

Maybe the I4 comes with a yet-to-be announced, "make people think I'm driving a manual" mode

 

[kitkat]

Every time a suspected amg m139 Emira sounds okay -- turns out to be a V6. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry guys， the reference video uploader is Chinese famous stupid clown，ignore it. If any Chinese 2.0 news，I would share into the forum ASAP.

oooh you beat me to it

Also too long legged between shifts. The DCT will be shifting up/down more regularly surely

'slow as balls' was part of my reply (whatever that actually means)

 

[Toomanyloti]

Yes I would agree with that being a manual.

My auto V6 upshifts way faster than that.

so does mine and again with I4 having so many gears it would have shifted way more times or at least 1 maybe 2 gears?

Third to Fourth is a loooong way and the speed is really piling on.

I would say it was in second coming out of the turn and just got to fourth and quickly came out of the throttle

im going to shanghai on saturday.. if you guys have any info for me to go see talk anyone from lotus more than happy to do that! Even will try to squeeze a test drive if the i4 is available

So it's confirmed a V6 then right?
