Four minute acceleration vid, from inside the car and out

Here's a link to skip the first boring part

There's no way the speeds in this chart are accurate, right? If so I'm unimpressed.... 62-125mph in 12.17 seconds? My stage 1 flashed GTI does it in 11.06.

Laughable rubbish.

Look at the last two lines.

0-200kmh in 32 seconds.
100-200kmh in 12.17 seconds.

So, 0-100kmh must take 19.83 seconds.
Ummm. Righto.

Idiots.

It’s not rubbish. They simply started a 0-200 measurement on the box, but didn’t push until 100. the box then did the calculation for 0-100 and 100-200.
doesn’t look good to call others idiots if it then turns out that you are wrong

 

[Steve24]

So why put “0-200kmh 32 sec verified” in the chart, if that’s not what the 0-200kmh time for the car is?

Pretty idiotic, by any measure.

Another video, no GPS based measurements, but still a good hint where the figures will be around:

0-100kph at 4,9s and 0-200kph 16,4s.

omg it's just a video- thought folks would like to hear the car from inside and outside, that's all....

Did you make this video?

But isn’t that just trying to time stats off other people‘s videos? It’s not the same as a best-efforts run.

No, it just came up on my youtube Feed.

Yes, you are right. Still it is some new footage stating some acceleration figures.

How are Lotus managing to get 4.2 seconds ?

I guess they must be running it down gas Hill Norwich’s steepest Rd

I’d like to see Gavan Kershaw record a 0-100 time in the manual V6 Emira. Based on what we see from third party videos so far, the quoted 0-100 time seems impossible.

Probably why there's no news on the I4 as well, the I4 will be quicker and Lotus don't want to release that information officially yet.

That 4.2 seconds likely includes the industry standard 1-foot rollout.

Lotus officially quotes 0-100 km/h as 4.2s for the I4 and 4.2/4.3s for the V6.

In the real world, the V6 should be quicker in most driving conditions than the I4. The I4 isn't going anywhere until the turbo has spooled.

I estimate a 5-60 rolling start of 4.6/4.7s for V6 and 5.3s for I4. These numbers are achievable.

References (C&D):

• 2011 Evora S: 345 hp / 0-60: 4.3s / 5-60: 4.7s
• 2020 Evora GT: 416 hp / 0-60 4.0s / 5-60: 4.5s
• 2017 Merc CLA45: 375 hp/ 0-60 3.8s / 5-60: 5.3s
• 2018 Cayman GTS: 365hp / 0-60: 4.1s / 5-60: 5.3s

I wonder how much of that is the DCT on the I4? It's going to shift much quicker and more efficiently than a person in a manual V6.

That's a great question. Most of the time, the difference is substantial.
