    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Congratulations! How does it feel? These are 429whp. That must feel good. If you have a dragy or performancebox, please do a 100-200kph run, so I can relate how much faster it is in regards to standard. Thank you and have fun!

    Did lotus rob us on horsepower?

    Yes, I posted this video just to show that it can be done. To launch the Emira and get those times. Abusive use of revs is a killer recipe for drivetrain and clutch. For me personally it is much more relevant to have those figures like 100-200kph. I managed to get 11,2s with my Emira, my old...

    An Owner's Review (1500 Miles on the clock)

    Is it like "perfection kills emotion"? I mean even the Spyder RS should be very special to drive and you still drive the Lotus more often? I have only driven a 981 Cayman GT4 and that was quite something. But in the end I've gone with my Emira, although the GT4 might be the better driver's car...

    What’s your latest victory with your Emira??

    Thank you, you really have to be gentle with the gas. And you can also hear in that video that I‘m playing with the gas as the Torsen lsd always distributes the torque at the wheels differently. It‘s not as easy as it looks. 😌 I had a whole day and a lot of try and miss. In the end it was...

    What’s your latest victory with your Emira??

    I got it sideways. :D Last Monday I went for probably the last short drive this year before hybernation and it was such a joy to use it simply makes you smile. :)

    How many miles are you guys getting out of your tires?

    Yes, different car. That is from a Vauxhall VX220 Turbo, in german an Opel Speedster. I also have a Torsen lsd installed and lots of torque which killed the tyre in the end. The thing is though that you are not aware of this kind of wear of the tyre because the car is so low and you do not...

    How many miles are you guys getting out of your tires?

    Mines have seen roughly 8.000 miles And the rears are nearly done. I had once the same issue with my Speedster, I think it‘s a combination of a lot of camber at the rear and spinning the wheels at low speeds.

    This photo could also have been at a sports-coty group-event… Too bad the Emira was left out on this kind of comparison test. But at least we made our own… 😄

    How bad will the Emira depreciation be?

    At least here in Germany you also have to differentiate: At mobile.de there are 12 Emira V6 First Edition with manual for sale. All of them are at 90k€ or above with tendency to go above 100k€ for low mileage cars. These are the most desired ones, then there are 9-10 V6 IPS variants with...
