Damn, she is gorgeous and sultry The Lotus Emira
(Hethel, UK – 6 July 2021) – The Emira is an all-new mid-engined premium sports car that perfectly embodies the ongoing transformation of the Lotus business and brand. It features all the hallmarks that the automotive world has come to expect from a Lotus...
One minor issue ….
Alpine weighs a real 1080 kilos. The Lotus in its lightedt form weighs 1405 kilos, at least that is the aim … so that moght as well be a real 1430 kilos ? 350 over the Alpine …. Nein danke ! Tha A110 any day for me please.
this is a cruel post
for Nicolas ;-) ! Superb model, I will clearly have a look at it: the position between Cayman and 911 is smart
Small disappointment about the weight though at 1400 kg
The small 4 cylinder AMG engine should be plenty poweerful to shift the weight around
yes but its got potential. It is a matter of commercial between Lotus and AMG
AMG can certainly put the A45S 415 Bhp @ 4Cyl. The big problem now Amire 1400kg vs A45S 1560Kg. Would AMG be willing to let them fight ? I honestly believe LOTUS engineering with China Geely financial power could be the reborn of a great LOTUS.
I have worked next to the historic Lotus factory for some time, so I have a soft spot for the brand
Delamare road, Cheshunt... not a very sexy birthplace (compared to Maranello for example) ...
What a show to wake up to!
Will C8 Corvette be shoved aside by this car? Hmmm. I've already has 5 Lotuses, but ... ...
Personally to me this one is more beautiful than C8
But the throaty C8 engine is another subject of admiration.
I agree but ...
It enables the dash to be configured for the track and then switched back to road format. Quite handy.
I agree , a bit not lotus
But I believe it has better power to weight ratio than Cayman S and A110
Agree the more mass the more difficult
Let's see how lotus trick it's suspension, steering and handling balance.
Beautiful car...
I've been a big fan of Lotus cars for a long time. The achilles heel for them in the past, however, has been build quality. The first generation Evora I drove literally had bits falling off of the interior, and the car was brand new. Let's hope that Lotus...
Or even Chevrolet
The C8 -- especially in convertible form -- appeals to me more. Those don't have problems with parts falling off, peeling clear coat, or low-rev turbo lag. Best, Tim
