Maybe not possible yet. This car may not have the AMG engine installed. I never heard it ignited.Now all that's needed are some engine sounds!
That's quite a posh truck for China!!Here's a couple more of the Emira being transported in a dilapidated old truck!

This demo car has battery and motor inside.Yea, it's pretty clear they brought the car in on a pallet and unloaded it using a pallet truck, which can be seen in the background. This thing might not even have the battery/motor system installed.

Wow. I guess now we know for sure it doesn't have a real engine inside.
So it's a second show car. We know the first one, as seen at Goodwood and on the UK dealer tour, is now touring Europe and is RHD. Strange that they've built another show car (they're bespoke built and not cheap) rather than use one of the pre-production cars being built on the production line.
A shame we're still not going to hear the AMG engine.
This is what a V6 mule looks like - you can play spot the difference!

The V6 engine cover sits higher and says "LOTUS V6" on it. It's fairly easy to see this, so if you can't see it then it must be an i4. It's more about spotting the absence of V6 rather than the presence of i4, if that makes sense, as opposed to special powers![]()
There have been i4 engines in mules for development and testing for the last 18 months. Here's one in an "Evora-stein" mule, where you can see the engine is sitting lower than the V6 and has a different engine cover:

The i4 engine is designed to be lower than V6.
I think it’s the lighting. You can see the lettering in the rear centre of the engine cover too, which is a characteristic of the i4 coverI don't know... that rear window looks blacked out, having almost the same matte consistency as the nearby body panels, as opposed to the glossy roof.
