Not too much detail; can anyone confirm if the latest Emira has a Fronk hood release vs bolts ?

They all do, and always have done, but there’s no storage under there…..

Thought I read there are four bolts that hold the hood vs a cable release

There are 3 bolts that need to be removed to lift the front hood, and there's a prop rod inside to hold it up. There's no cable release. The tool for the bolts is in the accessory bag in the trunk.

What is under the hood?

Uncovered Engine and Open bonnet pictures

Found a few nice photos of an uncovered engine bay and another one with the front bonnet open. Thanks to those at Cabrini Lotus for taking the covers off a great Magma spec! Source: https://galeria.totalcar.hu/tesztek/2022/10/03/bemutato_lotus_emira_2022/

It would be nice if they used an actual latch system. Why they chose to hold the hood down with screws and fiddly caps make no sense to me.
