Emira Aficionado
Hey I'm not knocking it, just saying they ain't started from scratch! 🤣Well yeah, they're known for their chassis development. Colin Chapman himself created a suspension style that came to be known as the Chapman Strut. Why wouldn't they use the results of decades of their own invention and development. Just because it's the newest evolution, doesn't mean it isn't a new car.
A properly sorted, settled and broken-in final production Emira should out-handle the Evora. It may not be faster by a few tenths in a 0-60 standing start, but that's not what sports cars are usually measured by. It's usually handling. The fact that you can buy a new Lotus with the looks and features the Emira has, that's within a few tenths of the previous car that was over $35k more expensive... to me that's a pretty good deal. Obviously not everyone (some previous or current Evora owners) agree, but that's not gonna stop me from buying and enjoying my Emira.
