Suspension: Touring and Sports options

[nicholas08]

I have a couple weeks before I need to lock in my order for my Emira build. I have little experience with other sports cars with exception that I have a Gen 3 Dodge Viper. I find that suspension perfectly suitable for where I am and how I drive.

Does anybody have any experience driving a Viper to be able to compare the Emira Sport suspension to the Viper? I know it seems silly comparing the 2, but I thought this would be the best guide to give me more confidence in my decision since I am not able to test drive the Emira before ordering.

Thank you!

Wanted to add this bit of information from a factory tour attendee named Piers:

Spring Rates:

Touring Front: 55 N/mm
Touring Rear: 110 N/mm

Sports Front: 60 N/mm
Sports Rear: 115 N/mm

Took delivery of my 2025 V6/touring yesterday. I know it's a tiny change and the main difference will be the shocks, but the springs are different than above - lettering on them indicates V6 Touring, but are :

Touring Front : 60N/mm
Touring Rear : 110 N/mm

Not sure at what point they made that update.

Sorry if this was posted elsewhere - I didn't immediately see it with a search.

Could that have been a mistake made at the factory? Somebody grab the wrong spring for the fronts??

I wouldn’t put it beyond them — however it’s very clearly labeled as tour. Seems we have some different values for tour now.

Is yours automatic by any chance? I wonder if the V6 Auto spring rates are stiffer for whatever reason up front — i know that doesn’t make sense. But there do seem to be two sets of springs.

No - it's a manual. Non first edition obviously since it's a 25.

Mine are also 60/110. Car produced in August 2024.

My V6 manual touring also has 60/110.
The car was built November 2023 indicating the change has been around for a while.
