If you want a manual the a110 is out
I enjoy rowing my gears way too much to give it up, the a110 maybe when my knee gives up !
One of the better ones…
Sadly limited in terms of torque, so no potential for stronger engines 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, it can take 380 Nm. And believe me, it is enough. Mine has been updated to 302 HP / 375 Nm, it is a pure rocket. 0/100 in 3, 9 seconds. 0/200 in less than 12 secs. 1000 m in 21 seconds.
Let's not forget that the Alpine is a light car ( 1100 Kilos ) and that you can lighten it easily around 1070 Kilos. Even, with a bit of work, 1050 Kilos. THAT is more important than the HPs...
I don‘t think so! 🫣 I would never use it with Skies, with this much of a lever in wind and with this weight!!
No sir - seriously!
Maybe shorter skis then? 😁😉
I hear your point but this has been a standard attachment type for cars like the 911 in the past as well 😊
Oh well, worth a try 😉👍🏻
Again - No! I am a keen Carver; Skis are 160cm… well actually I could try taking them into the car.. 😅
Some years ago I got myself 146cm skis, so they would fit in the boot of a taxi easily 😂🤷🏻♂️
No. No. No.
Mechanics have told me lotuses are just evil cars that are impossible to work on. Tight areas one cannot get their hands into. Substantial percentage of the car needs to be disassembled to do basic things because the car wasn’t well designed to begin with.
Is that still the case with the current ones?
Or a past experience like you need two Jaguars, one for driving, one for spares, which also stopped being correct when Edwards’s took over?
Can't say for certain, but probably likely.
Unless you're telling me that Geely is developing everything from a tried and trued Geely platform that is made in large quantities, I'd be worried. But the only way to tell is to speak with someone who is trained to work on current Lotus vehicles.
The sports cars are still on Lotus based platforms…
Which doesn’t have to be a bad thing - Lotus has developed these for much larger manufacturers as well, and quite successfully. But of course a current mechanic will know best 👍🏻
