Factory collection today which was brilliant and I'd recommend.
So quick background I've just come out of a 981 gt4, last two cars before that were a Ferrari california and a 997 gts. Now, I've only done 130miles in the Emira but to be honest I'm struggling to fault it, all those things everyone's been getting their knickers in a twist over are just non events.

Seats- 3hrs straight with no fiddling and no comfort issues at all.

KEF- more than adequate over varied music styles, 3hrs of YouTube music shuffle. Easily on a par with competitors premium systems in similar sized cars

Noise- had it in sport all the way home, running in but sounds lovely and burbling low down. (There was an i4 on the test track, those boys will definitely need to budget for an exhaust) and I'm positive as it frees up it will get louder

Performance- running in but even short shifting on the twisties in the wet it makes very good progress

Steering wheel- never gave it a thought

Infotainment system, display and heater controls etc just so easy to use. Intuitive menus and useful physical buttons. Maybe physical buttons for heated seats would be useful.

The leather, materials and general ambiance in the cabin is spot on.

Touring suspension SO Impressive on crappy roads, really happy with that.

If it proves reliable it's potentially an absolute belter of a car

Oh and it snaps necks (and knicker elastic) at 100 yards 😆

Aw yeah!!! Congrats!!!

Stunning car! Nimbus is just amazing for showing off the curves. Congratulations!

Congrats, it looks fantastic. I previously had a 997 GTS too . . . great car but I made the mistake of getting the PDK and found it a bit dull except on remote country roads. I look forward to hearing the sound of knicker elastic snapping.

I would have automatically defaulted to a red interior but the tan looks the absolute bollox 👍

Very smart indeed

Fabulous spec, appreciate sharing your initial impressions. Hope you have many miles of smiles in your new Emira!

 

[Green]

Looks outstanding! Appreciate the first impression. It matches what I felt during my test drive to a T. 👌

 

[robrmon]

That’s a classy spec !

 

[Superman]

Great first impressions, looking forward to reading more (hopefully equally positive) updates 👍

 

[Nova]

Very nice! I love the subtle bronze in the Nimbus Grey. This is my color as well so I hope it looks as magical in person as it does in photos.

Mine was pdk also, a good box but not a manual, I had a lovely low miles big spec 997 c4s manual I really should have kept

 

[Magicman]

That’s a classy spec !

Thanks, I thi k keeping the calipers black and not adding another colour worked quite well

When you get it out the garage the next morning and just have to take a picture

Engine is still visible through privacy even at a good distance

Looks like a spaceship 🚀

So here's a quick thought, transmission noise, it was quite prominent to the point of unpleasant crawling around in the demo in low gears. Not uncommon from the evora I believe. Its just occurred to me there's next to nothing In mine, wonder if it will develop over time ?

 

[TomE]

It was variable on the Evora - some were quiet and others noisy. I've noticed it on a few Emiras but not lots. Disappointing that after 12 years of Evoras they haven't completely fixed it on the Emira and it still varies from car to car, but it seems to be much better.
