Lotus Emira
In a world of super boring design... Hello...
Headlines
Upmarket mid-engined sportscar
Evija-inspired design
3.6-litre supercharged V6 engine
2.0-litre turbochared 4-cylinder option
Automatic and manual gearboxes
0-60mph in less than 4.5 seconds
Upmarket, high-tech interior
Focus on every-day usability
Will cost from less than £60,000

I could trade the Z for one of these

I am a big fan of Lotus but that looks like a mix of every other supercar out there -
Ferrari 458 / Lambo huracán / McLaren 450 / Honda NSX and a volvo gear knob
I would still buy one if money was no object

No way in hell that will be £60k with any sort of decent spec - a bloody Exige is £60k these day and I still want one
My mate is the principal electrical engineer there - staff discount

Mrs G likes it. Says it looks like a cute little bug.
Looks all a bit too samey to me though. Have to agree that for 60k there are many worse things you could buy.

This. Out of interest I configured a Lotus Elise Sport 240 Final Edition a while back and the price with everything that I added to it was eye watering.Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 10:37 pmNo way in hell that will be £60k with any sort of decent spec
The Emira is a nice looking car but at just over 1,400kg doesn't it lose one of Lotus' usual USPs?

So, being a bit of a cynic..............
Everyone looked at the Evija and said 'yes, I'd have one of those if it had a proper engine'.
Lo and behold!

yeah it is a bit portly for a lotus, but its got a decent engine with the right amount of power, it looks good and its keenly priced. and if it comes with a manual as well...
they can jog on if they think i'm buying a 4pot though - even if the 4pot is 50kgs lighter and made 200 more horsepower, i'd still take the V6.

If anyone needs me I'll be down the back of my sofa desperately searching for £60k in loose change.
I'm with brillomasters on the cylinders, if you're going to buy the last ICE Lotus, you might as well commit fully and have a manual v6.

Like the look of it- although its bordering on being a little generic...
However, still wouldnt outpace a transit or astramax

If there is no manual gearbox, it would be a thumbs down for me. Looks wise, it is great though but with an auto box it would be too boring for me.
