My Specs:
Emira V6
Porschephile here. I also used to drive a 2020 Evora GT. Always felt something was lacking. Didn’t like the first addition of the Emira Very pleased with the upgrades since.

Recently took delivery of a 2026 Emira V6SE 6-speed manual. Hethel Yellow with metallic Chapman Racing Green top. It’s spectacular. Some of you punters on here have trashed that color combination in another thread. You have to see it in person. It’s the best. Far more impressive than the black (which I had on the Evora and disliked). Far better than body primary color on the roof, too. What matters is that I love it.

After about 700 miles I’m enjoying this car far more than any of my three Porsche GT3 cars. Even more than my three Ferrari cars (360 gated Spider. 599GTB, 430Scud). It may not be faster but it is quick enough, well balanced, and dialed in nicely. Brakes are maybe a little touchy, but am getting used to it. The engine, supercharger, transmission all that stuff are great. Sport suspension is superb for me. This one may not be for all but I wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s a keeper.

Very cool paint, very lotus and extremely unique!

I feel the exact same way, I definitely enjoy my v6 6spd more than my 993 and 981 gts. I think it’s the lack of low down torque and long gearing in the Porsches. They feel great rev’d out, but hard to do that day to day driving. I’ve never driven a gt3 and always wondered what they felt like, but after getting the lotus, the curiosity faded. The emira just feels perfect to me.

Like you, also enjoy the emira more than my gated f430. I have to say I still enjoy my gated 575 more, I can’t explain why. It’s heavy, front engined, doesn’t make sense, but has that magic and feels amazing.

Took me a few months to build muscle memory for the touchy brakes, now I don’t even notice it.
