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 has finally figured out how to build them well and beautiful if they want any chance of competing with brands like Porsche.
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.

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
