Has anyone else experienced this?


On cold start, the exhaust makes a noticeable whirling/whirring type noise. Once the cold-start sequence finishes and the revs settle down, the noise completely disappears.


Lotus have previously told me this is normal, but I’d be interested to know if other Emira V6 owners get the same noise on startup.

Also have a V6 and so far not noticed that sound on my car 😅 Sounds like sth. is loose and starts to vibrate due to the higher revs? Is everything under there properly tightened? Might as well be sth. laying on the undertray? I once somehow picked up quite a chunk of wood, which i could only remove by removing the undertray…curious what other ppl say to that 😅
